Under dash wiring help
Could someone help me understand what these wires should be doing??
![]() I believe the Red is going to the cig lighter, the Orange is going to the blower motor relay, and the grey is for lighting somewhere? Is something supposed to be plugged in a the fuse panel? This is on a 1972 blazer with A/C. Thanks!

Re: Under dash wiring help
The red wire for the cigarette lighter plugs into the fuse box in a spot labled "cig", the gray wire is for the lights in the heater controls and the extra plug coming off of it would be used for the light in the shift indicator if you had a tilt column, it plugs in a spot on the fuse box labled "clstr feed". The orange wire for the blower motor I believe plugs in the "ign unfused" spot, but I'd have to look at my truck to be positive.

Re: Under dash wiring help
Thanks lsnova71. I thought that was the case on all but the Orange wire. The connector on the orange wire isn't designed to plug into the fuse panel. It can however plug into one of the connectors on the red wire. This is my biggest question actually. I'm trying to fix my hign fan speed and I am not getting power at the orange wire. Just wanted to make sure I'm right before plugging wires in randomly. If this is right my next problem will be fixing my cig lighter feed on the fuse panel. PO has burned the connector up.

Re: Under dash wiring help
If that orange wire is paired with a white wire, it's likely for the dome light.

Re: Under dash wiring help
Orange wire is definetly going over to the blower motor relay. I don't think it's the dome wire. The grey wire may be though. I am still a little confused on what's supposed to be. The Red wire is definetly going to the cigarette lighter and the orange connector fits right into one of the red connectors. Would they have pulled power for the high speed blower from the cigarette lighter?? Seems weird to me but possible I guess.
Anyone with an original truck out there that could check this? I've been going through the assembly manual but not getting a lot of clarification there.

Re: Under dash wiring help
Based on this post I think my idea is correct. The Orange plugs into the second jumper off the Red wire which plugs into the Cig port on the fuse panel. Funny how I've missed that on the diagram everytime I looked at it. I think I didn't believe it.
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...ghlight=blower I'll have to figure out how to try this out. I wish my Cig connector wasn't burned off. I'll start a new post asking how to fix that I guess.
