Door Jam Light Pin Question

[Daveh]

I'm installing a new under dash wiring harness and I only have one door jam light pin wire (drivers) on the new harness.  The old harness only has the one light pin also.  Is there another one on a different harness or should I splice in the old one with the new one and run it to the drivers side.  Thanks

Not sure I understand the question , are you talking about different connectors ?

I think I get what he's trying to say.

He has a 71' unique 1 year only 3 pin style connector harness.

He wants to convert it to be the more common 2 pin connector.

The 3 pin connector was used only on the drivers side door in 71'.

Finding a good 3 pin switch is getting very hard to find and are getting expensive if you do find them.

Originals had a light rose pink color on the threaded portion.

I bought NOS one's years ago.

These are easy to find, took me 30 secs on eBay just now https://www.ebay.ca/itm/NEW-3-PIN-DRIVERS-DOOR-DOME-LIGHT-SWITCH-71-cuda-challenger-small-head/163250020212?hash=item2602759f74:g:scAAAOSwY45UUFd~

No What I'm trying to say is that:

1. I already bought the 2 buttons from Dave
2. I'm replacing my old under dash harness with a new one
3. Both the old harness and the new harness is set up for 1 button, the drivers side
4. Can I remove the wired old one and splice it into the new one on the drivers side and run it to the Passenger side door.  Giving me buttons on both sides.

Another thought on a previous question - Are the buttons different on both side.  Does the drivers get the 3 PIN and the passenger get the spayed type button going to these wires?  Boy this is confusing.  The original owner butchered these wires to no end.  I'm glad I bought a new harness even though I'm going through all of this. Thanks 


Also my 71 Challenger is a convertible so no dome light.  But I do have the under dash light.

Thanks

Here is a mind blower... 

All 72 models used the same three pin driver's door switch, too.

Just the drivers side is a 3 pin in 71'.

72'?   

Passenger side is the standard type connector.
