1971 original charger SE. .wire id question

[400sforever]

I drug this old 71 SE up from Oklahoma. .very solid car but sat outside since 1979. .car was traded off at a local dealer and the dealer took the car to his farm and there it sat since 1979. .it looks pretty unmolested except for the wheels someone must have put on it back in the day. .the mice have ate the plug wires and the wire pigtail I have in the pictures. .just wondering what some of these wires were for. I don’t see where they would have hooked. .maybe an option it didnt have? Shows 42,000 miles. .I’m trying to decipher if that’s original or not. .anyways in the first picture there are two wires ate off which join into one female terminal right where the headlight harness comes thru the firewall. .2nd picture shows a wire with female end just dangling there from the harness that actually goes to the headlight bulbs. .what would that have been for?

Not sure if you have the wiring diagrams but here is a link to them. Includes all 71 Dodge models.

And here is the Shop Manual. It includes all Dodge models in the zip.

Have you checked if it gets headlights wipers?

You said firewall I see the core support. Maybe horn wires?

 

[400sforever]

Sorry I meant radiator support. .the dual horns are both on the passenger side. . Maybe it was for headlight wipers? This car didn’t have them but maybe was wired for them? I have a 72 SE that I thought I could compare wiring with, but of course it’s different at that location

I really didn't knew or expect headlight wipers to be an option on mopar products from the early 70s.

I just assumed we germans came up with this since my 560 SEC has it and it is extremely rare.

Black with a light green tracer would be for a fender top turn signal indicator. But I believe the plug would be different. Could be the ground wire for the headlight doors motor. The headlamp washer motor power is brown with a tracer.

The headlight motor ground wire is hooked up. The wires in question do appear to be brown with a white tracer. Two wires going into one connector and one wire by itself not hooked to anything

Windshield washer motor wire is brown with no tracer but, if I recall correctly, should be driver side. Front end lighting wires are black, red, and violet with a tracer. Right fender top turn signal indicator is black with tan tracer, left fender indicator is black with a light green tracer. Headlamp motor ground should come from a common splice with the headlight wiring. Power to the motor is black with red tracer and dark blue with yellow tracer. Right park light is fed by black with tan tracer and black with yellow tracer. Right marker light is black with yellow tracer and black ground. Left park light is black with yellow tracer and black with light green tracer. Left marker light is black with yellow tracer and black ground. Service manual shows headlamp wiper feed (brown w/tracer) should connect to the instrument panel wiring with a bullet connector with a solenoid between the connector and the wiper motor.

The single brown with a tracer is the headlamp washer motor, the two browns connector go to the washer solenoid(mounted near the hood pin). Here you can see the solenoid and washer reservoir. If not equipped the wires are loose like on my 71.

I think that's the first headlamp washer reservoir I've ever seen.
