Greetings,
In process of doing "housekeeping" beneath easy and replacing front wiring harness - beneath the dash and closest to drivers door are (2) holes - one is missing a grommet - suspect wires went through at one point in time - any ideas? Once figured out, would purchase new rubber grommets but not seeing p/n on Stoddard or NLA site. Also, a previous owner failed to replace light switch in door after he had car repainted - looks like just one switch is required - sound right? Also, where to source purple/black wire like this as p/o did same thing - failed to replace the harness that powers passenger side courtesy light.
Also, looks like p/o who installed the makeshift headlight relays pulled this black wire from headlight relay (picture shows an open terminal on relay). Trying to undo unoriginal work and make this electrical wiring as close to OEM as I can.
Fun Stuff - Thank You
Ken
p.s. Just noticed on last picture to right of headlight relay there is another hole with a grommet - guessing this black wire probably was originally fed through that?

It should have a door switch on each door.
Y n Z can sell you a length of matching color wire I believe. In this case plain black wire might be acceptable.

Thanks Martin - I think those holes are for door switches currently MIA

The switches are right in the upper hinges, in the center hole.

Meant to say I think holes are where wire feeds in

The second hole w/o the grommet was probably drilled for the antenna lead.

If someone has the courtesy light harness out of their car to use as a pattern, I will make one for Ken ...

The black one is the horn relay - a red wire comes from the hot side of fuse 4 to terminal 87 of the relay (the horn circuit is not fused) and it has a smaller jumper wire that goes to the 86 terminal of the relay coil. The brown/white wire goes from terminal 85 to the horn button and when the horn is pushed, it completes the ground and the relay coil is energized closing the circuit between the hot red at 87 to the two black/yellow wires at 30/51 that go to the left and right horns.
