Under Dash Wiring Help

[jonn6464]

Hi FABO,

I'm trying to see if anyone has pics, UNDER THE DASH, of the factory wiring route for a Duster or Demon.

Mine is a 1970, but I would appreciate pics of any year.

I am installing an aftermarket wiring kit, and the instructions say to follow the factory wiring routing. But, the wiring was pulled out of the car years ago so there's nothing to go by.

I am mostly wondering about the retaining tabs ABOVE the gauge cluster on the back of the dash.

Where does the main wiring branch go when it leaves the fuse box? Up and around the gauges, then looping back towards the passenger fender?

Here is the fuse box, you can see the main branch goes out the top...

Here are the tabs above the cluster...

And then the tabs down along the bottom behind the glove box insert...

Thanks for any pics you have.

Run it how you want. I ran mine on the lower side under the gauges. With the fuse block above the left kick panel, and engine wire loom running atop of the steering column support going to the firewall, with the rear loom going down the left side of the car. There is a tab on the lower left under dash that the stock fuse block mounted.

Some years of the service manuals have diagrams. Go to MyMopar and download them. The diagrams vary over the years as to usefulness

I have same for 67 and it has a lot of misc usefully info.

Basically keep wires away from the wiper linkage, and any other moving parts.

Also be aware of rub, like where wires could rub on a braket. It doesn't take much time rub through and cause a short.

.......And even though these are useful, BE AWARE that the watermarks are terribly intrusive.....

Read this. I'm not saying "don't buy" it, I'm just saying be aware of what you are getting into

I almost said something but figured even though they are rediculas the info is there and readable.
