Do you have an ohmmeter? You really need on ohmmeter/voltmeter to test either continuity (ohms) or 12 volts/ground (voltage).

Take your time and test each wire or circuit (for voltage, ground, or continuity) before and after replacement.

REMOVE the fuse or disconnect battery wires when replacing any wires!!!!

Check the color coding of the new wire harness with your schematic diagram. The 40+ year old wires may be a different color because of an old repair with the wrong color wire.

Good luck!
