Hi folks,
A previous owner MacGyver'd a bunch of functions on my 1970 cuda and I've been taking it back to bone stock. I have rebuilt all the gauges, dash panels, switches, etc. I have two questions:
Question #1
I'm wondering if someone can tell me which functions this three wire connector coming off of the column controls. In the picture it is on the left hand side, resting on the carpet right now. Wire colors are purple-brown-blue. It was disconnected when I got the car. I have been doing a ton of debugging of all the electricals.
The only unterminated 3 connection plug that I have been able to find under the dash to potentially connect it to is the black one with single brown wire on the right side of the picture - but I have my doubts whether its the correct one, as it only has what appears to be one brown wire coming in - which leads me to suspect that it is a 1 x 3 splitting connector similar to some of the other red ones under the dash used for glove compartment light, map light, etc.
I looked in the shop manual circuit diagram for anything that has purple-brown-blue wires together and I just couldn't find it. In the circuit diagram of course the two large connectors for ignition and turn signal switch are there, but I don't see this one.
That's my big question.
Question #2:
There is a panel light at the bottom of the heater control panel located on the bottom left side of dash. The light is a yellow wire. I don't see a connecting wire where it terminates. The yellow wire coming from the light is very short which leads me to suspect the connecting wire should be close by on the left hand side of the dash but I can't find one. The connecting wire has a blade connector - same type as other individual dash lights like cigarette lighter and glove box light. If I can't find a connection I was going to splice into the same wire used for the rallye dash light bar lights. That way it would also be controlled by the dimmer switch. Thoughts?
Thanks in advance for your expertise. You all have saved me a bunch of times already!
