B/U wiring impossible

Post by Texsardo »

Long story short from my previous threads.
Please, does anyone have a photo of the pigtails connection for the back up lights.
New switch, New connections from tranny switch through shifter plate.
So many PO wiring cuts, spliced etc. I have tried wiring diagrams. Followed wires into wrapped harness.
Wires coming out are not same in some instances. My diagram shows white wire coming from back lights.
Found where the white wire comes through body up behind dash to big pigtails but no white wire coming out.
Second wire is lt blue/white. Every harness underneath dash has 2 or 3 of these wire colors.
If I could find the connections where the transmission harness connects to pigtails under dash. Or better, showing where wire comes out of what harness under the dash. There are no white and lt blue/white wire pigtails under the dash. Until I get the wiring right, I can't check the rest of the system. Please a photo is only thing I think will help. I have tried Artique wiring diagrams, another forum members troubleshooting manual, everything I can find. Seeing the wires coming from the main harness to whatever connection the to transmission wires, please.

If I understand what you are asking for, you need a picture of what the connector looks like for the back up lights that is behind the radio console mating to the spade connector wires coming through the shifter hole from the trans correct?

Does one of the pictures in this thread help?http://www.fiatspider.com/f08/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=8175

As I recall there was something odd about the mating connector. I think it was set up for two connections, but the back up connector from the trans only used half of it, or something like that.
