Any suggestions on where the two connectors in the picture go to on my 72 Corvette? Don't recall unplugging them and the wiring diagram says they go to something called "seat belt warn park override relay". They are not long enough to go anywhere

Tan, purple /white and purple connectors.?? 72

Hi There, and welcome to the forum!.
Nice looking car brother!
Purple and Purple/White are for the neutral safety switch. If your car has a standard transmission this connector was not used.
The connector next to it looks like it has a Gray wire. Gray is for the dash light circuit. This connector would go to the automatic shifter dial. Again, if your car has a standard transmission, this connector would not be used.
Cheers, Greg

Default Thanks

I suspected it was something that didn't apply to my car, base 350/4spd. Puzzled though why wiring diagram showed that relay I mentioned. I guess there are subtle differences in a lot of these wiring diagrams. This was from the Chevrolet chassis service manual. Thanks a million. Now I can put it all back together, just hope I put in the right screws. Been so long ago I should have marked them as I took them out. Oh well. 🙄
