    Hi all,


    The wiring diagrams don't really show me what this double-yellow wiring connector goes to. I'm assuming the original radio and then T's off to the Trans Control Switch?

    And I can't find info on why there's a condenser plugged into the BATT connection on the fuse block. Is it a capacitor? Was it for radio suppression or something? I haven't traced the other large grey wire that's in there with it yet, or that white one in the lower ACC position.


    They're both plugged into a brown adaptor on those two fuse block positions.

    Thanks

    Pretty sure that double yellow is for the turbo 400 trans kickdown. You car must have a T350

    Yup, probably the kickdown gas pedal switch connection. Looks like 2 yellow wires. Does that plug have a single or a double connector?

    It's a TH350. Always was.

    Yes...two yellow wires into one spade, inside a double connector.

    The kickdown switch should be a double connector, one yellow wire, one black/white. Is that double yellow near the radio? Could be the power for the radio.

    I'm have the 120-140 and 120-141 diagrams. Not that they've been much help. ;)
    I'm just curious what it might have been for... then I can use those wires as a Accessory tap.

    Looking at the pics I took, it's close to the HVAC diaphragm up behind the controls, so that's why I assumed it's for the radio. The seat buzzer is zip-tied to the same bundle.

    Ah! Found the capacitor and map light wiring.
