Am I correct in assuming that this has no business in a 1970 914-6? There was nothing attached to the plug which was near the base of the shifter. It looks homemade, with a fuse inline.
I tried finding a color wiring diagram for a 914-6. I kicked up a few names in searches, but none of them replied to me about buying one. |

Also, this brown wire white stripe was found near the tunnel. I'm thinking that this is for the handbrake switch and just incorrectly located?

FWIW Restoration Deaign used to offer a full size 914/6 wiring diagram - maybe 3’ x 5’ in size. Wall size.

Neither one is stock. It's a DAPO thing.

Cavity 9 on 14 pin connector that plugs into the relay panel in the engine bay the inline fuse is an addition from a previous owner. Please give informed advice. Pete |

Please give informed advice. Thank you for chiming in Pete. Where is that spade connector meant to attach? I'm not seeing an obvious mate for it. I assume it's opposite end is running to the position you reference in the engine bay. |

Perhaps this is more informed advice.

Okay, I surrender. That wire is for the bulb in the defrost indicator.
