I know I have this console harness for my 70 442 in my house/garage somewhere but I just can't find it. I've looked everywhere I can think of but no luck - of course I'll come across it when I go to purchase another one.

I'm looking to see if anyone has a used harness that runs inside the console to light the shifter and the glove box when the lid is opened. I am not sure if the 71-72 are the same or if there is a difference. If it matters I have a dual gate shifter. Thanks!

 

Did you look inside the console box ? That's where I put mine once after looking for it.

 

Connected to dash wiring harness?

 

'70 was the last year that the neutral safety switch was attached to the shifter. Starting in '71, the switch was moved to the column.

 

I did look there - no luck...

 

No, not there either

 

Thanks, I knew that harness was a one year only but I was trying to reference the harness that provides the light sockets for the console box and the shift lens - I think 70-72 were the same but I was not 100% sure.

 

Here is what I am looking for - (found this from an evilbay post)

 

I have a used oem one. Email me direct: drolds1@bellsouth.net. Thanks, Bob.

 

Ok

Never use used electrical stuff.

Less than $60 bucks.

1970 is one year only for the console harness.

 

The word "never" is a pretty strong word to use here. I would have to disagree with your statement, especially when it comes to a console wiring harness. A nice condition original OEM harness would be quite sufficient and probably fit and function better than any repop, just my 30 years experience and opinion in the matter. And I bet if Tom was able to locate his original one, he would not hesitate to install it in his car.

 

Hi Bob, I sent you an email did you receive it or do I need to resend it?

 

Thanks for the heads up on a place to purchase a new harness and I would have gone that way if my harnesses was not good but I checked it out and it has held up well over the years.

I know I'll stumble across my harness after buying another one and I'm not too keen on spending approximately $60 either. I'm hoping to find a nice used one for no more than $40 if possible.

 

Yes, my intent was to use my harness as it has held up well. I have replaced other harnesses in my car with new ones and I have kept and used some of the old ones too. As long as I didn't see any issues my preference was to use them still.

 

Got it Tom. I explained in PM. I'll get pics today. Thanks, Bob.

 

Done deal. Awaiting payment. It seems that you and I have transactions at Christmas time . Merry Christmas. Thanks, Bob.

 

Payment made. Thank you.

 

Harness is on it's way; should have it on Tuesday, the 26th. Thanks for another smooth transaction . Bob

 

Tom, as always, a real pleasure dealing with you. I'm glad that your satisfied with the USED harness. Thanks, Bob.

 

 

do you stil have the harness?

 

Who was your question directed to? There were only three of us in the original thread. Thanks, Bob.
