67 SS/RS, under dash wire question
« on: January 29, 2017, 01:45:27 AM »
So I'm under my dash and this heavily taped wire is there, so I unwrap it and it looks like a diode, or resistor in the shape of a round ball, soldered to a brown wire. It looks like it goes up to ignition switch and the other side pairs up to a blue wire in a plug that goes to the firewall. I don't have a clue and it's hard soldered in. Sorry for the size of pic my phone won't resize any smaller.

 I'll look at my 67. That looks like a diode as a resistor will not be a ball shape
It's easy enough to verify it is a diode with a DVM.
When you said the blue wire goes to the firewall, how does it contact it? Through a plug?

I honestly can't tell how it goes through the firewall it looks like it goes behind the fuse block,. I think it's my headlight wiring, but this is my first 67 Rallysport, and I'm unfamiliar with it as of the moment
