I'm installing a M&H harness but want to make sure I have it routed correctly. Does anyone have a picture of a dash where I can check out the original routing of the harness? I would very much appreciate it.
 
Like this?

I think most of the pics available around are, for whatever reason, for rallye cluster and I guess your Satellite is standard cluster ? or is it a SSP or Brougham ?

Sure not all cars got same options, so you'll find on this some relays not optioned on your car ( it came from 71 R/T with conc headlights )
 
Is that a Rally dash? I guess it doesn't really matter as I just needed the routing information. Thanks guys. I have 2 wires on the dash harness I have no idea what they are for. One is on the driver side its a green with black tracer and a single I think female connector. The other is on the left of the cluster and is also a green wire. Oh yea almost forgot 2 blue wires that come near the lower section. I assume for AC this was an AC car but doesnt have the under the hood stuff to make it work. I cant find a place to plug those into.
 
Depending on options and such, either you use those wires or have to take from old and add to them. What you don't use or need, tuck them away. A new harness won't have every option that cam from factory so some wires has to be transferred.
 
I'll get a couple pictures today and see what you guys think.
 
Light Green wire with bullet female end could be the source for Charger concelead headlights which Plymouths won't use of course. But harness is the same for both. Is the same even for 4 doors

Now, green with a black trace... can't recall any green wire being black traced around.

You can get blue wires hanging around to source accesories from run circuit, such electric trunk lid and stuff, or even headlight concelead system. Everything will be hooked up or not depending on car options. If not used will be simply hanging around without use

Yes, pictures are to Rallye dash. Standard dash is pretty much the same but one round multipin conector instead sockets and terminals all around to individually feed every gauge.

Accesories as tach, A/C or heater, concelead lights, power windows and stuff like that gets their own harness and they are not included on underdash harness not even from factory. In the Heater- A/C harness example, the underdash harness just gets the black wire ( I think traced white? ) with a naked packard terminal without any isolation hanging around which will feed the blower but to be inserted on the A/C or Heater Harness plug which must be transferred from your old harness. Or get the harness separatelly new if available.

1st pic, AC wires. Green blower, blue clutch. It runs to bulkhead. Just at a side of a white and white with black trace wire, on the NSS harness section of bulkhead. Those wires inserts there. Can't recall which one on which cavity thought. I have diagrams but is late here to check my PC. Will tell you tomorrow.

2nd pic, lights on warning buzzer plug. When optioned, that plugs gets an extra harness to reach the buzzer.

3rd pic, that's an accesories source. Noticing you have AC harness, that must be the terminal to the clutch being feeded. Underdash harness got a yellow rubber mold with three female provisions with a tan wire hanging around, close to brakes pedal area. That wire conects there

4th and 5th, is the headlights wiring and that's the plug to trigger the hideaways on Chargers.

Awesome thanks very much. You have me sorted out now. There is a 3 wire plug that comes out of the steering column and I have nothing to plug that into. Any idea what thats for? The schematics do not show this. I thought it might have been for cruise control but the column is sort of plain. Nothing special about it. The wire colors are more of a pastel color set. I'll get a picture of it.
 
Did you replaced the turning switch someday in the past? MaMopar at certain moment began to offer one only turning switch to all models and making the stock easier for all cars. C bodies used the same turning switch and some C bodies got cornering lights. An extra pigtail from turning switch was used for this, usually carrying Violet, tan and light green wires. This pigtail was used for that function. You won't be using that plug.

Wow.. That's the one I'm talking about. It's not my car I have no history on the car so I'm not sure if the column is original or not.
 
this is the location for the A/C harness into a 71 bulkhead. There is also the solitaire male bullet plug and where conects on underdash harness. You only have to find the Acc feed ( yellow molded source with tan wire ), which should be leaving the tape on the main big bulk section of the harness... close to the brake pedal brakets area as far I recall

And this would be the lights on buzzer wiring:

Is funny the light on buzzer is mentioned as "headlamp" warning buzzer, but it buzzs as soon you turn on parking lights ( black wire traced yellow circuit ), not really the headlamps. Of course with headlamps will keep buzzing too since Parkings remain on while headlamps are also on.
 
I have another question Im a little confused. On the Blower motor wiring. There are 2 wires on the blower motor. One is a ground bolted to the wiper motor and the other has a single plug. I looked at your schematic above and its just not clear to me. Where does that wire go to? would it be the number 4 terminal on the bulkhead connector? And on the inside of the car would I use that double green shown here for that?

I went back and re-read your post. I think I got it. Yes the Green with that blue is the blower wire. I need to stab them both into the bulkhead and use the green one for the blower feed. Got it.. Sorry I didn't re-read that post.

:thumbsup:

having the A/C harness on engine bay side, they use the same NSS harness plug to be attached, then the blue and the green runs to each destiny. Green straight to blower and blue to the Dryer pressostatic switch sensor... then to clutch

( althought this harness on pic doesn't show the dryer switch to clucth wire section )
 
Gotcha... I think either the blower resistor or the switch is bad. I have it wired up but its not working. I did put power to the blower and it is working. Just no power at the green wire. So I'm pretty confident its the blower resistor on the box.
 
I have to be honest, never have seen a blown blower resistor. I would think more on fuse or switch issue.

Plus when you feed at max speed, the resistor is bypassed.

For testing the resistor You can feed any of the resistor wires with 12 volts ( with resistor plugs conected ), and the blower will work. Of course feeding green will be max speed.

Tan is low speed, light green is mid speed and brown is Heater speed. ( AC cars got a fixed speed for heater function which as far I recall is lower than AC low speed )
