Trying to figure out what these 'extra' plugs are for and if I can repurpose them. My car was bare Bones with options, so I'm sure they were some other accessories that I don't have. I looked in all three books and I can't quite decode what these are for.

Single orange wire with female spade connector, above the heater control panel


Above stereo --

Double yellow wires with round connector next to the Stereo power connector

Yellow double with round connector

Pink single with round triple connector

Dbl orange/single red/white T spades connector

'70 Barracuda B5/B5 225 /6 3spd ... about as bare bones as they came

If I recall, most yellow and orange wires are lights.  I'm just going to share some photos of documents that I have in case you find something in there that helps...

Thanks Cody! Looks like pic 3 the pink wire to triple orange connector was for the A01 light, so I can definitely repurpose that one.

I've gone over the book that pic #2 came from, still can't decode that dbl yellow yet. I also have the wiring diagram like your last photo ('70 Barracuda), but also having a hard time tracing what a few of those wires are. I'm completely guessing that the orange wire above the temp control might have been for a tach?

I am so close to having this whole dash completed. I'm just waiting on the tachometer that will fit in the clock spot, should be here on Monday or Tuesday. Otherwise, it came out pretty damn good I think. I'll do a video of it later, but I got the radio converted to Bluetooth / USB and the USB port installed into the glove box stealthy like, the radio is set up direct to battery on a switch so I can turn it all on and off by itself without having to have the vehicle in accessory mode.

I think that orange is a dash light...

Yellow with black tracer.... maybe a time delay or door switch?  :huh:

Ooohh.... Orange looks like it attaches to a ?light? On the switch panel that I don't have (part of A01 too maybe?)

It looks like this and should light up the heater switches.

I 100% do not have that light attached on mine, so it's probably part of an option package that I don't have. Nice to know I can use it, and I'm guessing it's variable voltage for light dimming, so I can use it for my Autometer lights instead of splicing in somewhere  :ohyeah:

Double Yellow (round connector) M6A-18Y* with tracer goes to the Time Delay Relay.
Double Yellow (round connector) M2A-18Y no tracer goes to the Map & Ignition Lamp connector.

Both of these are in the lower left corner of the attached diagram. They are also on Cody's A01 E-Body wiring diagram earlier in this thread.
