Re: [Chrysler300] 300 G Wiring Spagatti Mystery

[Leggatt <leggatt@xxxx>]

Hi Myles,
The black power wire to the heater / AC sw. should be hooked to the fuse block as designated as you mentioned. The cigar lighter fuse block terminal is for the dash ash tray lighter only. Of course, this is N/A for console letter cars so this terminal should be left blank.
The two console lighters are powered by a 14 ga light green wire that is enclosed in the console elec. window taped harness. Incidentally, the 14 ga white wire enclosed is to ground the lighters so they don't burn / arc at the lighter bezel and alum. console insert interface. The light green power wire is protected by an in-line fuse near the kick panel circuit breaker buss.
The 14 ga light green wire near the fuse block is to power the rear defogger (and possibly other accessories). It terminates as a "plug" near the instrument dome. It should be hooked to the rear defogger designated fuse block terminal.
You are correct. Console and defogger / accessory wires are not covered clearly in the manuals.
Greg.

Moreover. a Green wire from the blower switch IS connected to the ac/heater fuse. So I have 2 wires from the ac/heater circuits connected to the fuse block. Amazingly the units seem to work ok (however at the expense of the cigar lighters which are disconnected). I believe the Black/white strip wire is intended to go the 20A ac/heater fuse and obviously not the 14A cigar fuse. Where is this Green wire supposed to go?

The 60 service manual talks about the mirror but fails to mention where or how it is intended to be connected. Anyone have an idea? Frankly I doubt the mirror works anyway but would like to understand the correct configuration if there's any hope to bring life back to it.
