Posted January 13, 201411 yr comment_439572 What wire near the radiator does the engine bay light plug into? Does that wire come from the engine bay harness or is it a separate wire? I don't see a spare wire near the radiator to plug the inspection light into on my car. The 72 FSM (I actually have a 1970 car) shows the inspection light red/blue wire going to the fusebox and changing from red/blue to green/blue as it nears the fusebox. Thanks for any info.

January 13, 201411 yr comment_439576 Mike,You should have a single wire about 15" long with a female bullet connector coming from the engine bay harness just before it goes forward thru the radiator bulkhead for the lights. My wire has a black protective cover so I can't see the actual wire color. Hope this helps.Jim Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/48340-where-does-inspection-light-plug-in/#findComment-439576 Share on other sites More sharing options...

January 14, 201411 yr Author comment_439583 Jim, and 240dkw, Thanks very much for the information. I will look again with daylight, other stronger lighting and a mirror to see the back of the wiring harness but I don't see a wire in that area. I tried feeling the backside of the electrical harness but couldn't feel a stub where someone might have cut off a wire. I will put a wire tracker on the fuse that feeds that light to see if I can track it down that way. If I can't find the wire I will run a new one.Thanks for the info that helped a lot.Mike Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/48340-where-does-inspection-light-plug-in/#findComment-439583 Share on other sites More sharing options...

January 14, 201411 yr Author comment_439593 Yes indeed, nice tags, not only that they are a lot neater looking than the tags I put on. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/48340-where-does-inspection-light-plug-in/#findComment-439593 Share on other sites More sharing options...
