Are there any other lights on a 73 Charger that have a continues + feed, and ground through the switch besides the dome light.
I'm trying to install a new harness and there is one wire that ties into five more about half way down the door rail.
This looks like it might be ground but it comes off the light switch and does not ohm out to ground.
Also
Can Anyone explain to a dumb a$$ how the emergency flasher intigrates with the turn flasher.
Thanks

It's a black wire that goes down the drivers side door to the back and is factory installed to five black wires ( after market )

I believe that's the harness that goes to the taillights and fuel gauge sending unit.  Dunno why'd they're all black though.  (Dirt/custom wiring?)

black wire to rear is for tail lights- bet they all go to each tail/side lights.

factory used splices in the actual trunk area to feed them.

looks like someone has rewired them to the door sill area!!!!

Yeah, Thats what it looks like after traceing them.
I wasn't sure if they were ground or B+
Looks like they are B+
