Hello all, I need help identifying 2 wires near my '81 fuse box. There is one Orange/black and one solid Orange as the attach picture 1 shows.
The org/Blk has a terminal attached to it. I have discovered that this wire supplies the driver power seat motors. For a test, I connected the wire to a "Bat" terminal in the fuse box as shown on picture 2 and the seat now functions.
The solid Orange I did not find its use yet but maybe the rear defog.
I am reaching out to 1981 owners for a picture of their fuse box and the placement of these wires in the box.
I am suspecting that there should be plastic holders ( as the pink wire in picture 3) at the end of these wires, a picture would confirm this.
Also in picture 3 is shown a fuse location labelled "Power seat" which I tried putting a fuse in and does nothing for the power seat. I suspect the Org/Blk wire would connect somewhere in the fuse box that is controlled by this fuse.
Thank you. Picture 1 Picture 2 Picture 3
