Need help identifying electrical parts
The first 2 pistures I am trying to ID the relay or whatever it is in the right of the picture with the thick red wire in a bundle. Also right beside that one to the left are 2 more relays one on top of the other using the same mounting point.
The last picture is of the power window hot wire. I don't know where it hooks up to. I looked at the fuse panel and there is not a hook up there. I am thinking that somehow it connects to the relay in the other pictures with the red wire bundled up by it on the right.
I have a '71 wiring diagrahm but can't find these things.

Re: Need help identifying electrical parts (BlackRat)
Not sure but in the 1st picture the red wire looks to be attached to a circuit breaker. Looks like an add on.

Re: Need help identifying electrical parts (BlackRat)
I believe the relay in the first two pictures is part of the TCS system. Most of us no longer have working TCS systems so it is no problem. The one with the thick red wire I have no idea. Sorry I can be of no more help.

The last picture is the left courtesy light, should be mount on the bracket below and behind the left dash, by the kick panel. BTW, the picture resolutions are too high. Takes ever to view them.

No Clue :confused: If you have some wider pics that show more of the area around I might have a better idea on where to look :crazy:

Re: Need help identifying electrical parts (SnoDrgn)
The first 2 pics are being viewed fromthe front of the car looking back. The relays are to the right of the wiper motor.
The last picture I am asking about the single large orange wire with a black stripe. I know that it is the power wire for the pwr windows but don't know where it goes. It has an eye loob connector on the end like it fits on a relay stud and it is kinda grungy so I thought it might hook to something on the firewall under the hood. Any ideas? The diagram doesn't show the end of this wire only the part that hooks to the relay on the shifter hump under the console.

Re: Need help identifying electrical parts (BlackRat)
In the first picture, the switch with the large gauge red wire attached with studs is your power window circuit breaker.
The two relays mounted front to back to the left of the circuit breaker are the TCS solenoids. One is attached to the temperature sender on the right cylinder head, the other to the transmission to send vacuum advance only in high gear. If you have A/C, there is another TCS relay behind the right dash pad that engages the A/C clutch for twenty seconds after turning the key off.

Re: Need help identifying electrical parts (BlackRat)
I tried to send you a diagram from my '72 via email. the org/b wire does go thru the firewall to the passenger side of the wiper motor to a circuit breaker. From there , a 10ga red goes to the horn relay for direct power.

Re: Need help identifying electrical parts (72GACRZR)
Thanks guys. So iI am assuming that the red wire in a bundle is the one that is supposed to go to the horn relay for direct power. The orange connects to the opposite side terminal. Now for my last dumb question, where is the horn relay???? :confused:
Thanks

Re: Need help identifying electrical parts (72GACRZR)
Thanks I found it. It isn't in the best of shape much like the rest of the engine compartment wiring. Thanks again for the help.
