fog light harness 1971 series 1

[KAL7467]

I have noticed their are connections on the front harness for fog lights. A red wire that jumps from one side to the other and then into the car and a black wire that gives constant ground. I can not for the life of me find where the red wire is taped up inside the car or if it is a dead pin on a plug. I would like to use this wire to trigger my fog light relay if I can find it inside the car. any info would be apreciated. The wiring diagram in the FSM just says it is a red wire and a red and green wire...

The blue is the clue!

The folks making the early Z wiring harnesses used blue tape to secure and mark unused connectors, such as the electric fuel pump and fog lights. Here are pics of the fog light connectors secured in the dash near the temp / oil pressure gauge. All you need to do is connect a switch between these two connectors to activate the wires in the grill area. I installed a toggle switch in the dummy spot above the hazard swith for this purpose. Do use a relay off the grill wiring as the factory wiring is not adequate to carry the load. Hope this helps.

When you get to the point of installing lights, don't use the factory harness ground - again, a load issue. If your lights are not self-grounding at the mount points, run a ground wire from the light directly to the body.

Fog lights are most effective when they come on with the Low Beams and turn off with the High Beams. Driving Lights are the opposite.
