Help identifying these wires

Before I install the glove box n a 70 GS, non A/C car, I need to know where these wires attach to. Anyone have a clue? The one with the connection is orange and white and the other single one is bright orange and maybe is for a light? The purple one I know is for the glove box door light. Thanks

 

Use a test light on the wires, switch on your lights and look what happens.
Isn't that orange and white one for the light in your clock?

The orange wire with that hook thing, I believe that's for the cigarette lighter.



Orange wires in the 1970 BCSM wiring diagram:

 

Orange and White are usually courtesy lights . the bulb holder and bulb is a gray plastic piece that is secured to the bottom of the dash with a 1/4 inch head screw and has the opposite of that plug on the end .

Or clock light is a good guess . It is Illumination

 

Thanks all. Car didn't have a courtesy light under the dash so that's why I can't find it to plug the white/orange into and will have to find one I guess.

Purple one is plugged into the glove box door light already and has the same funny plug as the orange wire so orange looks like either cigarette lighter or clock light. Car is far from having a battery so can't test anything yet.

 

Do you have the rest of this diagram you can post? Thanks

What's also weird is that the orange is way on the right and won't reach the cigarette lighter or the clock....

 

Thank you!

 

You are right. What is throwing me off is that the orange wire does not fit into the glove box light socket (too big). They ran a purple wire directly from the fuse box over to the glove box light.

1) Does this look like a factory glove box light receptacle?
2) The purple wire runs to the fuse box into a "y"connector that plugs directly into the center of the fuse box. Its not in the main harness. This can't be stock can it?

Wondering why he ran a separate wire..... no battery to test. Thanks

 

The glove box light switch/socket holds the bulb, when you insert the bulb the "hook" on the orange wire slides in next to the bulb. There is a "flat side" in side the bulb socket.

(the bulb is reverse "wired", the side of the bulb base is "powered" and the switch grounds the center tip of the bulb in the base by the silver escutcheon to the dash. The button is a plunger.
The switch is "open" with the glove box door closed, and "closed" when the glove box door is open to complete the circuit.

 

Thanks all. After reviewing some pics of original glove box light and wiring I determined that the previous owner replaced the switch with a similar but slightly different one that came with its own smaller "metal tab" and bypassed the orange wire by running a few spliced wires endung in a purple wire directly from the fuse box. It probably works. Eventually I might find an original style as I see Todd sells them.
