After a ton of terrified procrastination I'm finally getting around to installing a new wiring loom in my 57 BN4 basketcase. The car was in tiny pieces when I got it and everything electric is covered in 1/4" of grime and severely decayed. No wiring colors are visible and most of the relays have been reduced to grubby little nuggets. I'm doing my wiring from scratch it seems. The wiring diagram helps but doesn't show me anything about how things are routed.
There are 4 stubby blue wires coming out of the main harness at the main firewall grommet. Are these for the dipper (foot) switch? Should these wires be in front of the firewall or behind it? None of the pictures I see actually show this hooked up in any fashion that shows me how it is connected and routed. I'm trying hard to understand this harness but these wires have me stumped. Why would they be spliced by bullets at the firewall? If they are the dipper wires then why splice them at all? Wouldn't just another long loom leg have been better? What am I missing?
Thanks guys.
