FHC resto nr. 145; Main harness part 3

It’s been a while since I last reported some progress on the ’76 car, and for obvious reasons! But over the Christmas break I managed to spend some time, not only on the DHC, but also on the main harness for the ’76 car. I left this project within a project in early October of 2022, when I finished the part of this harness from the nose of the car up to the point where it crosses the firewall. Time for a little update, covering the connectors and relays on the right hand side of the fuse box and the fuse box itself. First job was to record the position of the various wires in the connector blocks. A rather time consuming but also very necessary job!

As can be seen in the pictures above the overall condition of this part of the wiring harness was in pretty good condition. But I decided to keep to my standard routine nevertheless; dismantle, check, clean and put back together. As usual with this kind of work, my digital and analogue notebooks got plenty of use again!

And glad I did, as the 9-pin connector shown in the pictures above has two almost identical pairs of wires going in. One green/light green, the other light green/green! But in the end everything came back together. To be continued.
