I have a 1970 914/6. When I pulled the motor out, the 14 pin Main Harness that sits on the Relay Board in the engine compartment came apart. Thus I have no idea which wire goes where. I have 6 wires. (2 are grey and black and go to the transmission back-up switch/sender. 1 Green and brown and 1 Green and black go to the oil pressure and oil level senders. 1 Black and red goes to the coil and I'm not sure about the black and blue/purple.) I have attached a picture of the harness below.
I would enjoy any guidance on where to plug these wires. Car won't start and it keeps blowing fuses which I assume is either a problem with these wires or the ignition system/distributor needs an overhaul. Attached thumbnail(s)

Looks like it could be one of my harnesses, or maybe a from a kit I sold. On a 914-6 the tach wire is black with a blue tracer. I've been swamped with a house project. I'll get the color coding and pin outs tomorrow. It really isn't hard to ohm out the wires and see where they are connected.

I'm not at all good with electrical issues. No idea what ohming out the wires means. But any guidance is great. It may end up that I need a proper harness for the back. I think it is the original board...just an odd wiring job. |
