    I believe that wire is for the solenoid operated seat back latch release when you open the door.

    Magnum 500 center cap rant

    I had used the Scott Drake caps on mine, and even though I didnt hsve the problem with them hitting the grease caps, the machining for the threads was less quality than it should have been. I had caps flying off at highway speed. Thankfully they didnt hit the paint. They were just missing...

    Down the "more power is always better" rabbit hole?

    IMHO, which isn't worth much, what do we need all that power for. I sure hate to see it on the street. It just doesnt belong there. I do enjoy seeing it on the track. I have grandkids that will play near the neighbohood street, and i am always telling them not to go out there, but kids will...

    Center console shifter section restoration

    If you are interested in having it refurbished, one of the companies that does the vacuum metalizing is Vacuum Orna-Metal in Michigan. Here is there web site: https://www.vacuumorna-metal.com/ I had my Dash parts refurbished by them. It was just a little cheaper than buying a replacement.

    Starting car

    I had an old mechanic tell me to use carb cleaner spray, like Gumout. It has a component designed to burn and will start most engines, without the damage that starting spray can cause. I have started small engines with it, but have not tried it on car engines.

    Ford assembly plant video 1972?

    It was a fascinating place to work. When I was working there, I started with the Mustang II, and stayed there through the Fox bodied Mustangs. I had a wonderful career in the Rouge.

    Best Oil

    I have another can of worms to open on oil. If you store your car over winter, do you change the oil in the fall before storage or in the spring when you get it ready to run? I always felt fall was better so the old oil, which I was told was acidic, didnt sit all winter long on the engine...

    Insurance lessons learned

    I have Auto Owners Insurance. I know they dont operate in every state. They have been great when I had a neighbors tree blow down on my garage. Thankfully the cars were not damaged. A lot of my tools were starting to rust from the rain that came in through the roof. They replaced everything...

    Odd Electrical Gremlin

    I would also do a very good visual examination of the printed circuit on the back of the instrument cluster. Some of those traces are grounds to the instruments and dash lights.

    Dome light question

    I would remove the bulb and mount it without the wire connected. Check each screw to ground with an ohm meter or continuity light. Hopefully only 1 of them shows a ground.
