65 Dart Wagon Conversion to a Sedan Delivery
I’ve been taking Some time off from the wagon for awhile now so a couple of weeks sho I figured to spend a couple of hours a day working on this mess iof wiring thats under the driver’s side of the dash. When I constructed the dash harness I made all of these wires longer than I needed just in case.
5 of these wires go to the the rear body harness - brake lights (included a 3rd brake light incorporated in the roof rack), left snd right turn signals (yes, they are separate from the brake lights and use smber bulbs where the OEM back up lights used to reside), back up lights (now in stock 63 housings), and running lights. I did check each circuit in the body harness to make sure everything worked.
I found it awkward and time consuming while in a semi-probe position on the floor checking the loose wires to doubly check where they eent to what my marker was on the wires, then crimping snd soldering every terminal
The rest of the wires are for the Dakota Digital control box for the instrument cluster and several dash harness grounds
Five of the wires under the dash are for the left dide of the module - momentary switches 1 and 2, which show various speed readouts in the speedo and tach as needed, DIM (wire connected to the taillight circuit that dims the display when there’s power to the taillight circuit), TACH (wire to the the coil for the cluster tach), and POWER wire to the Run/Accy side of fuse box. I will have a separate ground wire. The right side of the module will have a wire for the brake warning switch snd/or emergency beake switch, high beam, left and right turn signals, GEAR - a separate module that shows the P R N D 2 and 1 on the cluster. I added a wire for CRUISE in case I decided to add a cruise module
