It may have been common to many harnesses, mine also has the plug but never had the electric clock.

Thanks.  I'm in the process of sorting my interior harness and will probably have many more questions. Lol

hey rick, did my pictures of the harness help at all?

[Rick Fox]

Yes, but I'm still having some issues though.  Any idea why my turn signals would be hot all the time but nothing else works unless the key is on?  Also I have no power to my instrument lights.  Checked the fuse box and there's no power to the fuse for them.

[gilbertsta]

i wonder if there is a problem with your ignition switch wiring?

[Rick Fox]

Very possible.  I've been corresponding with Eroc022 and he's been very helpful thus far.  I'm waiting to hear back from him now.  Hopefully he'll have some answers soon! Lol.  I'm thinking I have something cross wired......  Let me know if you come up with a possible solution.

If you get bored look at a thread I started called "yet another wiring question"

What exactly is the function of the heater adjustment plug?
The one that plugs into the rotary part of the climate control assembly next to the fan switch...

[Wallington]

It's vacuum operated, depending on slider setting it rotates to open or close different ports, redirecting other lines, opening and closing different vents and heater doors. The electrical terminal activates the A/C compressor at different settings.

[Ironhide]

That's what I thought... Why would it need an electrical connector?
I just finished a custom re wire of my car and didn't even notice the electrical connector on the back... I tested my blower and it works just fine on low, med. and hi. The hot/cold lever is mechanical and I used vacuum pressure to test the diaphragms. All the internal flaps work, so what gives?

[Wallington]

You probably mean the orange circular plate with terminals on top, different settings like Max Cold will trigger full speed on fan, while others simply activate A/C or not, mechanical, electrical and vacuum operated combination controls. Check photos to see different settings, non-A/C heater controls don't have it.

Ahh! I forgot about the fact that my air-conditioning is/was removed. That makes much more sense now. Thank You!

Could someone provide me with a picture of where that two prong reverse light harness plugs into on the car? Thanks!

Probably the Neutral safety switch on the steering column, purple and grey wires? Mine has been modified to mount on the shifter itself as it doesn't have the Reverse lock-out lever.

[gamermyj]

Is it right next to that? Im trying to do that as well, having trouble finding the wires to run them.
