Where does the parking brake switch wire run?

...from the console OR does it come across the floor from the passengers rocker? Mine is missing, so I need to either find it, or run a new one. It's a Yellow/Blue wire supposedly...

THANKS! :ogre:

It runs across from the passengers side,mine was cut so I had to unwrap the harness back a bit to find it and run another one.

Best,

Thanks! I will go digging in the right side harness then.

That's funny, my 72 FSM wiring diagram calls it Yellow/Blue and your diagram calls it Green/Yellow. Is your diagram for a 72?

Gotta LOVE the wiring in these cars. Functional but bi-polar!

Well ya know yellow & blue make green

Thanks everyone. It was the easiest wiring fix ever. The PO had clean-cut the wire and tucked the tail under the vinyl without even taping it off. Why???? No idea. It's yellow with a blue stripe (green if you squint ;-) ). Luckily I had some authentic Datsun vintage yellow wire laying around. I soldered it, connected it and instant Handbrake warning light!

So far I have been over ALL of the wiring forward of the rear deck riser and THAT was the only cob-job in the entire car! Amazingly clean.

I still don't understand why the center console connector set does not match the available set under the dash. I think it's a different year console. I will adapt the wiring WITHOUT cutting any factory stuff.
