69 Camaro Front Wiring Harness Question
 
2 Attachment(s)
I have 4 Red wires exiting the front lamp harness at the voltage regulator. One changes to Black and goes to the horn relay, one stays red and goes to the horn relay. One changes to Orange and goes to the voltage regulator. The other changes to Orange and I have no clue where it goes. Can anybody help?

Thanks Lee. I have an assembly manual with the wiring diagram. Still lost.

I can take a look tomorrow if nobody chimes in before...Joe

The rubber cyls are the fusible links. Inside that rubber is a smaller diam wire, that in the case of overload will melt inside the rubber. Not surprised the wire color is different on either side of the fusible links.

CLOSE but not quite the wire between the black cylinder and the terminal end is the fusible link.
I have collected the correct supplies over the years and replace burnt fusible links on any harnesses which I encounter -

The 12 gauge red wires RUN into 14 or 16 gauge fusible links.
The fusible link should be labeled on the wire - if it isn't I suspect the NEW link wire had metric sizes on them so they were removed.


The positive batt cable has a fusible link between the cable end and the junction on the rad support

Do you have an ammeter gauge? I have the console gauges with ammeter. It matters... I believe the orange itself is a fusible link. My factory harness has one that loops right by the regulator between a red wire and a black wire with white tracer. I believe the same set up also goes across the radiator support and over to the junction block behind the battery if memory serves me right. It's the voltage variance across that wire that moves your ammeter, which incidentally isn't an ammeter. It measures a very small amount of voltage deviation. Mike's picture actually shows it pretty well if you can read a schematic.

I have idiot lights.

That explains why mine didn't look like yours.....Joe
