Hi all -
I recently saved a 1971 145S. It's been a good project since shelter in place was issued. The wiring was a mess and I have started to go through it by taking out all aftermarket components and reseting it to the wiring diagram in my green book. I figured I would start this thread for my questions as they come.
(1) Tailgate wiring. I have successfully troubleshooted the license plate light (driver side), defrost (driver side), and rear wiper motor (passenger side) hot wires coming from each of their dash switches. There is still one more wire that is always hot when the key is in the on position, and it's coming from the passenger side in the same harness as the rear wiper motor. Does this also go to the rear wiper motor? Any idea?
(2) Headlight wiring. When my headlight dash switch is in the "half position" or "parking light position" my dipper lights are coming on. When the switch is in the "full position" the main beams are on. I am not able to switch between high and dipper from the steering column lever even the the wire does go to the correct relay position. The only wrong position on my headlight relay I believe is terminal 56a a yellow wire should go to the steering column, but it's actually going to the dash switch.
Thank you in advance for your help.
