I recently made the swap to all LED exterior lights and gauge cluster lights. So far so good. In the process, I discovered my rear tail light harness had really seen better days - lots of sloppy splices, a few ill-fitting sockets, and lots of surface rust on the contacts. I ordered a 1973 Rear Tail Harness from American Autowire and had it installed in a matter of minutes. Plugs right in behind the driver’s side rear seat and clamp down the ground wire.
While swapping out the front lights, I did end up swapping in a new socket and spending quite a bit of time with contact cleaner getting the sockets contacts working. It all works, but frankly, the front harness isn’t in much better shape than the rear was. I am looking for any input / guidance on swapping out the fronm light harness. It ‘appears’ to be pretty self-explanatory. I’m guessing the main connector is at the bulkhead on the firewall - driver’s side? On a couple of the pics I’ve seen online of replacement harnesses, I am seeing a few connectors that are obviously not light sockets or grounds. I have also read a couple of threads about the mid-year switch in 75 (or maybe 76) that included a safety lock-out wire and connector for the starter? I just don’t want to dig into too many unexpected surprises if I try to tackle this. Again, this is for a 1973 car and the current headlight / front light harness is the original one. Thank you! |
