1971 Road Runner wiring riddle.
I’m rebuilding the steering column and noticed something doesn’t match the wiring diagrams.
The old ignition switch doesn’t have the ”18V Ground” conductor going down to the connector. It’s not cut off or removed…it’s just not there. The new switch does have it.
On the harness side, the diagram shows no pin/conductor in the corresponding position. It’s blank. What good is the 18V Ground if it’s not connected to anything? However, my harness has an orange conductor pinned into that spot and it’s not an add on, it’s wrapped/taped into the bundle.
Anyone have a clue what’s happening here?
