Hi Folks:
I've noticed a number of 6's in the past with their transom (rear end)
painted flat black. Is that authentic/original/cheesy/only in Canada...?
Making HUGE progree on my car. I've fixed a myriad of messes in the
dash and elsewhere thanks to Dan Masters and while I had it out,
refaced it with veneer, (better $15 than $300...). It'll go back in
this weekend. I only have one quandry and I think probably you have to
be at the car to advise. Let's try anyway: the only wiring still
disconnected is the brake switch/oil pressure light/brake trouble light
system. A previous butcher cut the black/purple at both lamps. They
should be connected (they are now) and go to the brake switch. I
understand the adjustment needed to reset the switch once it's
operative.
So.. I connected the 2 BP wires at the bulbs (per Dan's schematic) and
ran a BP (that's connected to the oil light) through the firewall (the
previous one is non-existent). Touch this wire to earth when key on and
the brake warning light comes on. Patch one of the brake switch
prongs to earth and touch BP to other: brake light comes on. "Hot" is
probably coming from the voltmeter (whioch I remember is part of this
system).
So we have this BP wire AND we also have three others in close
proximity to the brake switch hanging out of the wiring harness. 2
(white with brown tracer and small white) have female bayonets on them
while the third (black) goes to "earth". The switch itself, of course,
will not accommodate any of these directly as it's a unique 2 prong
connector. I can get a replacement female to join with the 2 pronger
but which best of the 4 wires...? Any thoughts?
