Re: minor wiring harness question

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxx>]

Red/White: To instrument lamps
Red/Orange: From "RO junction" (lines tied together at rear of
console, also going to driver's side lights, cigar lamp, and A/C panel
lamp relay), ultimately from fuse 8
Red/Orange: To clock
Red/Orange: To headlight switch
Red/Orange: To hazard switch

Mine has been totally rewired, so you'll have to trace yourself which
RO are paired. 

Get a wiring diagram AND legend (John Hervey should be able to set you
up). Has a few discrepancies, but is invaluable. Remember to document
any changes you make.
