Re: [Amc-list] Tilt Steering Column

[JOE FULTON <piper_pa20@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bob,

I checked my copy of the 73 Javelin wiring diagram. 
The orange wire you speak of could be connected to the
wiper-washer indicator (overlay) light.  The diagram
does show a connector at the point where that wire
connects to the dash.  Two orange wires originate from
one end of the steering column plug and generally feed
dash light circuits.  

The yellow wires under the dash are generally
associated with the seat belt alarm system (buzzer and
alarm bulb on the dash).

There is only on diagram in the 1973 TSM.  No
distinction is made between the tilt and non-tilt
column as far as I can tell.  You must have a tilt
column from another model of make of car.

Hope this helps.
