Sorry for another wiring question, but I was able to steal 8 hrs tomorrow to work in the garage and would like to make some progress on the dash on my 68.  I bought an aftermarket air conditioner/heater kit from classic auto air. The kit is great, but the instructions tell me to use the existing blower motor wire, they show a picture of what looks like a 69 interior and the existing wire they show has a female plug that's in the vicinity of the fuse block.  On my 68 Ive been through the entire harness and don't see this plug.  THe instructions further refer to this wire as being the original 12v feed to the blower motor.  I looked at my old heater box and just see some prongs, and the original switch has plugs as well. Am I missing a harness? I took this apart 10 years ago and didn't document it well. I need to attach a wire to the original blower motor wire per the instructions but have no clue where this is. the FSM didn't help me. I suppose I could call them but Im not confident that they are mopar knowledgeable when it comes to wiring.  Just a couple of wiring mysteries to solve and the dash can go in!  :cheers:

hopefully someone will chime in with what you need. if not, i can get my wiring diagrams out for your car and tell you by the book what you are supposed to find. but that will only tell what color and where to locate the proper wire.

After staring at the wiring diagram, I finally found what I was looking for hidden in plain sight. Followed the heater feed from the fuse block and its a black with white tracer. Used my test light and saw that I had a short when trying to find where the wire goes, I ended up finding the plug that they talk about in the instructions, I had it plugged into the body of the cigar lighter, right next to the red wire with the rubber 45 degree push on connector. So like magic, my short is gone and I found the heater power supply. So the cigar lighter is self grounding Im assuming now.  :cheers:
