I have a new (M&H?) rear harness in my '70 Dart. I have a couple of yellow wires coming out at the front near the driver kick panel. They have bare spade connectors on them. I can't find these on the wiring diagram. Any ideas what they are for? I can't see them in the back of the harness.
 
If it's similar to 70 Dusters, it could be related to the door switch (for the dome light).
Perhaps although it seems odd that they would be in the rear harness and not in the dash harness. The wiring diagram shows them coming out of the big 8 pin connector. I could apply 12 volts and find out I guess.

ps my family has a cabin (old farmhouse) near Toulouse. I hear its nice there :)

Why would you blindly feed power into a perhaps unfused, unknown circuit. If you know what harness---tail--then they are IN that harness. use a test light/ ohmeter to find out where they go. Yellow, in the dome circuit, is usually the grounding switch leg. The lamps get power all the time, the yellow grounds to activate at the door switches, or the headlight switch.

I thought I would get a rise out of somebody :) With the female spade connectors and length I will assume they are door switch wires for now. I sure don't get along with wiring diagrams.

This ^^^
Yellow is the ground circuit
