No it was not the seat belt interlock. I fix/disabled this awhile back. It was the plastic box located under the dash next to the fuse box. Inside this plastic box there is a circuit board. My original box was yellow and my new one from the other wiring harness is green. Hope this helps

Success! PoisonDart74 figured it out. The circuit board "computer" was the issue. I found that the board was fried on the brown wire. I lucked out and had a second one laying around at the house from a second wiring harness I bought a few years ago. I am back on the road! Thanks again for all...

About a month ago I took the cluster out of the dash of my 1974 Dart Sport to fix the amp gauge which had started smoking (typical issue on those gauges glad it didn't start a fire). After fixing this issue I put all the gauges and cluster back into the dash and now the car will not start. It...

I crawled under the car tonight and noticed the connector was the original connector that has been on the car since 1974 and was the same connector on it prior to taking it to the mechanic. I pulled it off the neutral safety switch and immediately noticed the switch was different. So I grabbed...

If this means it can plug in 180 degrees one way and then 180 degrees the other way and the reverse lights will only work on one of the 180*, then I will unplug the connector and plug it back in 180*. I'll keep you posted.

Okay, the switch is the three prong thingamajig that plugs into the transmission. What my mechanic changed was the "plastic prong" that has three wires coming from the engine wiring harness. The old plastic prong was the original from 1974 when I bought the car, and it kept falling off the...

Some of you may remember the difficulty I had getting my 74 Dart started after restoring it. I finally broke down and took it to a mechanic who kept it two weeks and finally got it running. Prior to taking it to him, the reverse lights worked. After bringing it home, the reverse lights do not...

Thanks Redfish. I ran a wire from the water temp sender to the negative battery cable with the ignition key in the run position. Nothing on the cluster moved. Recently the fuel gauge and temperature gauge stopped working. The brake light on the cluster works as does the alternator. The oil...

My 74 Dart temperature and fuel gauge also stopped working. The sending unit is new and the ground strap is on. I am sure I can locate the problem with the fuel gauge since I have done it before. I sure could use some help with the temperature gauge not working. Slappy said to "ground the...

Hey Memike, I need to replace my /6 spark plug wires and distributor to coil wires. Mine look just like your wires in the above picture. Any idea where to buy replacements just like the ones you have?

I don't think I am missing the "pink wire at the bottom ot the first pic passing in front of the white plastic glovebox liner." My glovebox lamp has the bullet connector attached near the bulb and the pink wire you see running down to the underdash wire harness approximately nine inches is what...

Here are two pictures of my underdash. The first picture from left to right shows the ashtray light (red and black wires), the cylindrical object with the red wire/white tracer and black wire is the turn signal flasher, the third wire with two orange wires (single plug) has never been hooked up...

Tyler, I bought my 74 Dart new in 1974. It came with AM only and 8 tracks were still the rage. The Dodge dealership that sold me the car said they did not offer 8 tracks for my A body. I looked at many aftermarket units in 1974 and 1975, however I did not want to cut the dash bezel. What mid 70s...

My 74 Dart did not come with a glovebox light, however I found one on eBay. It is now in the glovebox, however the orange wire that is supposed to be tied in to the under dash wiring was cut when purchased. I have asked this question before, but nobody seems to be able to answer it. WHERE DOES...

Hey Scamp. I have that same part underdash on my 74 Dart. It is not a relay. I can't find a part number in my FSM or in the 74 Chrysler Parts Catalog. I'll keep looking and get back to this post. In my opinion there are too many wires running into this box to pull it. In your first picture at...

My 74 Dart also had a few of the sockets broken and the bulb wasn't making good contact, therefore not lighting up. Go to Advance Auto and look for "CALTERM (08523) Instrument Panel Socket". I think it came with two replacement sockets in the package. It fits 5/8" instrument panel socket holes...

If you're asking about a 74, Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards required the 74s to be equipped with a seat belt starter interlock and reminder system (annoying buzzer). The driver and outer most passenger had to fasten their seat belt in order to start the car. The two outer most seat belts...

On my 74 Dart Sport, the turn signal relay is to the right of the ash tray and to the left of the glovebox. Reach up under the bottom of the dash and feel for the wiring. You'll find the cylindrical relay. The emergency flasher relay should be under the dash on the driver side just to the...

Thanks George, it was the brake light switch. It was not contacting the brake pedal. After adjusting it, the two outer lights (brake lights) went out. After fixing the brake lights, I pulled the headlight switch on. Only one of the rear taillights came on, so I pulled the bulb and found that...

My 74 Dart Sport sat in a barn from July 1990 until June 2005. My son and I have spent over two years restoring it. We are close to firing the engine for the first time since 1990. I just changed all the taillight and interior bulbs. The battery just went in. The battery is properly grounded. I...
