Title: Need a wiring diagram for a 71
Post by: Reed on September 22, 2008, 04:12:41 PM
I thought my neutral start switch was bad since the motor won't turn over using th key, but last night I discovered that my reverse lights actually work.  So now I need to be able to trace the wires to see where the signal from the starter switch is getting lost on the way to the starter relay.
Anybody have a wiring diagram for a 71 Sedan that they would be willing to scan and post or e-mail to me?  Thanks.

I may be completely off base, but I thought the N.S. switch and the backup light switch were two seperate switches?

Doug youre right they are seperate. Reed I have 74 up, start wire at selenoid is red with light blue tracer. My 74 drawing shows start wire at switch is still R/LTBLU . Switch is located top of colum inside lower colum area. Unplug and do ohm check or what ever youre using to out side selenoid wire. I dont know how to scan post or e-mail drawing, can copy and put in mail you know the old way with a stamp. If wire checks good then you need to buy 1 of my switches.  Fred   :D :)

Thanks Fred!  For some reason I thought the backup switch and neutral start switch were the same on these cars.  I also havethe red with blue tracer wire going to the starter relay, so it is probably the same.  I will check the ignition switch output and see what's what.   :laugh:
