What is this for?

My 76 280 is a wiring nightmare, i have no idea where anything goes. Dash was completely unplugged from a 280zx Swap..........................................

So was the entire underdash, rear lights, and engine harness.

This was sitting in the back, i have no idea what it is or does

also, if anyone could send me a link to a pdf or torrent of how the wiriing harness connects i would be extremely grateful, i'm not very good at reading wiring diagrams so a "follow the switch" approach would be best.

Yeah i found it on xenons30's website, i just cant figure out what the above picture is

i cant express myself any better then this picture after reading the wiring section and what's ahead of me

That's your relay bracket. It goes above the fusebox on the passenger side. It's on the lower right hand corner of page BE-6 (Body Electrical section) in the 1976 FSM.

Thank you, i couldn't figure out where it was supposed to go, now all i need to do is put all this stuff back and figure out what the kid did in his wiring job.. stuff is spliced everywhere!

Stuff is spliced everywhere?! Oi!

I once bought a car like that. In hindsight I might have been better off with a new wiring harness. Fortunately it wasn't a car I really cared about, and I sold it after it served its purpose.

Yeah.. the guy put a 280zx turbo motor in the car and really messed with the wiring, i'm gonna have an electrician read the diagram for me because i cant figure out where 2 of these wires go
