78 Trailduster - wiring nightmare - 04/06/21 03:32 PM
Putting together a 78 Trailduster for a buddy of mine and the engine harness is a mess, along with a few bad/cut wires on the cab side of the bulkhead connector too. I've tried searching for a wiring diagram on here with no luck. Does anybody have a link or PDF of a 78 engine/bulkhead/harness that they'd be willing to either post or email me?
I'm in the home stretch with this thing but the wiring is really holding me up! HELP!
Thanks in advance...
Matt

If only he'd blown up the whole page...! Oh well.
The rest are of different makes/models.
Anybody else?

Instead of just searching just here try an online search. "My mopar wiring diagrams" has a 1979 diagram under trucks that should be pretty close if not the same.

The '79 is different? I believe it is slightly different as you wrote. I ask because I have a FSM for '79.

If you can't find it on line get the factory service manual. Even then the stock set up will most likely have melted/heating up bulkhead connectors. Check out the link one of the most common problems is the amp gauge wiring.

Maybe this site would help since the Ramcharger is the same platform.
