In
addition to the 4 multi-wire plugs (or 5 on the 69-70)
there are 5 individual wires.
The
blue wire should have a female "bullet" connector. It
should have a plastic cover like the two terminals on
the left above have; or it should be protected by
electrical tape. This wire goes to the radio. In
between the radio and this blue wire is a short
section of wire with an inline fuse.
The
blue w/white stripe wire that has the heavy black
covering and the rubber cap over the terminal goes to
the cigarette lighter. The red w/blue stripe map lamp
wire is tapped off of the cigarette wire
The
black and yellow w/blue stripe wires on the far left
have female "spade" (flat) connectors. They go to the
brake switch on the console that is used to check the
brake safety light in the dash. Every other car on the
planet uses the parking brake lever to do this. Only
the roadster uses a SEPARATE switch to check the bulb.
Seems silly; but how many people know that if your
parking brake light ever comes on with the parking
brake lever "off" that it means you have a brake leak
somewhere? So after we all stop laughing; maybe the
switch is not that bad of an idea!
ANY
USED HARNESS of any kind may need the wrapping
tape redone in a short section due to age; or a
plastic protector cap installed on a terminal or a
terminal or section of wire wrapped for
protection.
When
a used console harness is sold under the 240-12U; or
240-13U part number it means that all terminals are
visually there. The DU24xx part numbers are for
harnesses that have at least one terminal that needs
to be replaced; and will be described in the listing.
(It is very common for the wire that runs back to the
lighter and map lamp to be cut off or
damaged).
