1973 Dodge dart under dash connectors one’s probably for flasher relay. I don’t know about the other one. Any help would be great one looks to have three red wires to it. The other one has different colors. Both are a 2 wire connector

Full color laminated about 25.00

Look for the colors and the numbers of wires and shape of connector and location

You can figure it out I promise
 
Thank you I have both those items more of a visual guy, hoping somebody would’ve already had the same situation since I have one flasher relay plugged into the red wiring connector and the other connector has nothing plug in. cars been sitting for 25 years. I’ll break out the books when I get home today.
 
The three red wires on the black connector are actually pink. The hazard lights flasher plugs into this connector and the flasher body snaps into the retainer seen to the right of the connector.

The yellow and brown wires on the grey connector connects to the map light switch on the bottom edge of the dash frame, if equipped. If not equipped with a map light, the connector is not used.
 
Thank you another challenge solved
You really should spend some time in the 73 manual. On past the electrical diagrams, are pictorial diagrams and general locations of connectors. On the electrical diagram are ovals with numbers like "CE-5" or "CI-8". These mean "connector, engine bay, no.5" or "Connector, Instrument harness, no8" Then if you thumb down past the diagrams to the connector illustrations, you'll see a section there with all the "CE" connectors, all the "CI" connectors and so on.

I DON'T LIKE the 73/ later diagrams but you can "double up" and use both them, and the ones in the wiring section of MyMopar. Those are aftermarket, two page, and are simplified, and don't cover all circuits and connectors, but they can be easier to follow, and can be used alongside the ones in the service manual.

You might be interested to know that some of us learned this the hard way, no instructor, no videos, and no internet. When that 73 was new, I was spending my last couple of years in the Navy, at NAS Miramar, and owned a 70 440-6 RR which I had swapped a 340 into.

Picture with the guy and trophy was the original owner, who I still talk to. This was sometime I think in 70, and we had been to Lions where he got a trophy in pure stock. Other photo was either in 73 or 4 when I owned it. He and I are still friends and still talk by phone

Yep. Teach a man to fish he will eat all his life. Give a man a fish and he will eat today.
 
Thank you. I finished the engine bay area now I’m working my way into the underdash wiring, and
gages. Gonna have to get to know that manual. It’s my weekend project been working on since it for about a year now.
