72 Charger trunk wiring

[67tbird]

I cant find licence plate light wire or passenger side, side marker light wire, should wire run under drivers side sill plate, under back seat, and along side gas tank(two metal wire clips) down between trunk and rear valance and around bumper area. should trunk light be mounted by filler neck(not on deck lid like 73's? thanks Dave

Yes, all the wiring for the trunk runs down the drivers side, under the back seat and into the trunk. In the trunk there is a connector where the wiring harnesses snap together. All the wiring is in the trunk, not underneath by the tank.
The trunk light is mounted in the trunk lid. I'm heading down to thrash on my 68 today. I'll try to snap some pics if it will help.

NHCharger, that would be great if you can get some. It looks like the light housings were repainted, should the reflector area be black, or silver, mines flat black but it looks like overspray. Thanks, Dave

Here's a couple of pics. Let me know if you need anything else.

Pic 1. The blue wire heading right goes to the sending unit. The wire with the connector is the trunk light which runs up into the trunk lid. The black wire goes back to a third brake light I added in to rear window.

Pic 2. The connector that the pigtail from the tail lights plug into.

Pic 3. Trunk light mount on driver side of trunk latch.

I thought you ask about the tag light and right side marker light, not the trunk light. There is a plug in the tail, brake, backup and tag light harness near the left rear marker light inside of the trunk. If you don't have a wire color chart you may have to unplug the harness push the garments out where they go trough the body, remove the rear bumper and trace the wire from tag light back. On the marker it should come back into the body across from where the main harness goes out.

Thanks for the pics NHCharger, they have everyting running under the car and have abraded off alot of the loom cover so I'll probably have to drop the valance in order to relocate wires without roughing up the harness more. I found both side marker pigtails in one wheelwell, probably cut them off to make it easier to pull harness through. they have trunk light plugged into licence plate spot and hanging over plate(must have made pumping gas a treat!) All the wiring in the car is suspect, previous owner bought the car to gut interior for the rallye dash, and options he had a buddy replacing it with stock rallye dash when he had heart attack and died, owner couldn't bring himself to finish it so I have a mix of parts he threw in car.

the wire feeding the trunk light is not more than a HOT wire from batt

The tag light wire splits off of the left tail light wires.
