Hello all, I am at the tail end of getting my brother's 1971 Demon 4 speed back on the road after sitting for 4/5 years. Reason for sitting was that the last time he ran it, both the engine and dash harnesses smoked/burned and he removed them both. He's lucky whole car didn't burn. I have gotten the engine compartment done with some members help and I am preparing to put a 1972/3 Dart automatic dash harness in soon. I have it 90% figured out and modified for the instillation. I have some manuals but not all of them. Answers to these questions would assist me with what's remaining.
Are there any more mistakes in the 1971 Dodge manual schematic besides Bulkead positions 'L' and 'T' reversed? There are some errors in the rear connector positions also....but I can just match the wire positions by color as they are the same?
I'm stuck on the Auto Door Switches. 1971 and 1972 have 3 wires to the drivers door switch....and 2 wires to the passenger door switch. My newer harness has 2 wires to drivers door and a single wire to the passengers door. I don't believe this newer harness is missing any wires. The 1971 and 1972 Manual schematic has 3 Driver and 2 Passenger. I looked in a 1973 Manual Schematic and it showed a 2 wire (driver) and a single wire (pass). Apparently the ground goes through the shell of the switches to the frame, reducing the additional wire. Question is will this 2 wire, 1 wire system work with the original 1971 door switches that I'm using? I can't believe that the switches changed but there are members who know the answer.
I would like to know what this connector on the newer harness is for? It also seems to have a light? Wires to it are all blue. A console maybe?
And can someone tell me the exact year of my new harness by the Fuse Box? It has 7 positions and the 1971 and 1972 Manual schematics show 6 Position Fuse Boxes. Maybe its a late 1972? Or a schematic error? It was advertised as a 1972. Or is it a 1973 Harness? The 1973 Manual I have shows 7 positions for the fuse box. Thanks for all who take the time reading this,
