4.6StangRage Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I have a 1976 280Z, I am trying to get this car running and I wanted to go through the dash harness and clean up and apply dielectric grease to the connectors. While i was working on this i stumbled into a cut or torn wire which I could not figure out where it routes to. It is black with a yellow stripe and there is another of the same exact color right next to it with a female connector which is oem attached to it. It is at the end of the harness near where the ignition plugs into it. got any ideas of what it could be? thanks, Randy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoov100 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Is their anything currently wrong with your electrical system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4.6StangRage Posted January 30, 2010 Author Share Posted January 30, 2010 Is their anything currently wrong with your electrical system? Yeah, that is why I am going through everything. I have a no start condition because of multiple reasons, this one possibly being one of them. I haven't tried starting since my recent engine wiring overhaul and fuel line overhaul. Mainly I need help with finding this wire while my dash is out. thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacob80 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Black with yellow sound like a tach wire, don't take my word for it though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 This wiring diagram that Saridout on ClassicZcars did is pretty good - http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?p=308490#post308490 It's for a 76. It looks like the BY wire from the ignition switch comes from/goes to many places. It seems to be part of the START circuit, from what I can tell, with various safety features in-line. A in a circle is for automatic, M in a circle is for manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHtokyo Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 It shows the blk/yel as going to individual bullet connectors on the ignition switch. The fusebox it is showing is located on the passenger side kick panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4.6StangRage Posted January 30, 2010 Author Share Posted January 30, 2010 okay there is a block of connectors on the passenger side under the glove box. I found the two black /yellow wires go to blue connector on that block. I have yet to trace that via my wiring diagram, but do you guys have any ideas in the meantime? /-------------- | 0 B B | 0 0 | | 0 0 0 | 0 0 | |_0_0_0|____| this is my representation of the connector. 0 indicates other wires and the the two black/yellow are indicated as B.first from the left is the spliced one the second one is the female connector one.
