I have a 74 Duster. I have the complete wiring from a 74 Valiant in it. I did the alt upgrade and bypassed the ammeter. Bolted those 2 wires together, ran straight through bulk head connector, etc etc. I have tail lights, head lights, side marker lights, parking lights, heater fan motor, most dash lights working. I have a spare ign switch hooked up to the harness because I need to take steering column apart to put in new ign switch as the one in the column has no key. I dont have gas gauge, coolant temp gauge, dome light, wiper motor, and 4 way emergency flashers.
I replaced flasher relays-turn signals "flash" normally now. I cant start car with ign switch, but I can "kill" the engine with it-its just hooked temp into column harness-basically laying on floorboard for now. Im hoping to replace ign switch tomorrow.
Am I missing something as to why my dash gauges and wiper motor wont work? The headlight switch works fine as also the turn signals. But no emergency flashers and other items stated. All working lights are nice and bright- not dim, so dont see a ground issue-but could be wrong. I put a "spare" ground wire that is actually screwed into the dash circuit board with a factory installed screw-near headlight switch-just for better ground. Its late, and I am beat- so I hope I didnt forget anything. I have searched the archives. Found some things that were close to helping me- but not really. All help is greatly appreciated. Car hasnt been on road for almost 20 years. After getting a used 360 and other various items- Im hoping to have this car on the road in a month or so.
