Wiring Harness Under Dash Identification

#1 Post by Geoff McCord »

I'm hoping for some help identifying the model application of an under dash wiring harness. Are the B and C harness' the same? If not, is there a way to tell the difference. I don't have color wiring charts so it is hard for me to tell. It appears the headlight switch, which is attached, is a B/C switch, but that may not be original.
Thanks in advance for any shared knowledge on this.

Check these articles in the Registry's magazine.
Volume 40-5 January/February 2017 Electrical wiring diagram
Volume 40-6 March/April 2017 Wiring Harnesses

This is and example of what you will find.

HUGO, that's exactly what I was looking for. I guess a period reread of past issues would do a lot to keep these things fest in ones memory.
Many thangs for pointing me to a right place.

Jim,

Regarding the Wiring Harnesses drawings I do not know if they are available for a 57.
