my 79 t/a has been to a chop shop before i got the car i just replace the dash and the harness i need to know what is the order for the wries going to the rear of the car from the fues box. I need the wire colors starting from the top of the plug to the bottom the plug im talking about is os the side of the fusebox a color pic would work too.

There is a harness that plugs into the dash harness (the wires to the trunk don't connect directly to the fuse box).  It runs from the dash harness, near the drivers side kickpanel, through the wire tray on the drivers side and up into the trunk.  Do you have that harness?  You shouldn't even need to know the color of the wires, it should be plug and play.

i got the harness but the wires have been puled out of the plug i need the color of the wires so i can put them back in the plug.

thanks  brad

You need to get your hands on a chassis electrical schematic for your car.  That's the only way to know for sure what the order/placement is supposed to be.  It's in the service manual if you have a paper copy or Hitman sells them on CDROM.  It's actually an invaluable tool to have when working on these cars, as old as they are.

OK, the last post was for the connector in the trunk.  This one covers the connector that plugs into the dash harness.  That connector has letters that corresponds with the wire...here goes
