Trying to replace all the missing wiring in my 68 Firebird, I bought the rear tail light wiring harness- there are a couple plugs/ wires that I don't know where they go- the wiring diagrams on line aren't too helpful either. The first is an orange/white plug, the second is a black and a white wire with female terminals on them. Any idea as to where these go?

not bein a bird guy
but
my GTO's are similar
orange and white are dome lite

white and black are either power antenna which its not ..
or
maybe a trunk lite on the hinge

white is usualy courtesy ... think door jamb switch...

hope it helps

some one else will hit it up for you also

both of those plugs are up by the drivers side kick panel, or maybe under the dash. Not really sure. I'm about to rip the whole damn thing out and put a Painless Wiring kit in it- atleast those have labeled wires!

orange and white I think are the courtesy lights. I'd guess the female terminals are speakers?

The Black\white is left hand door switch. Orange/white is Dome (coupe) and or courtesy lights

Here is a pretty good schematic.

The dome/courtesy circuit on my 1968 Firebird ran from the tail panel through the driver side B-pillar (structure between qtr panel and roof) where it split to go to up for dome and low for doors.

Key concept with the dome and courtesy light circuit is one of the wires (can't remember if org or what) will have 12v to them at all times. When either door opens and the door jamb switch pops up it completes the circuit by connecting to ground.

I installed the Painless 20101 - 18 circuit harness for 67-68 Camaro - on my Bird. Less plug and play maybe, but that was fine. From what I remember each circuit had factory color wires and they were definitely labeled.
