help with where ignition switch ground wire goes see pics
I'm putting a 71t back together. I can't figure out where the two brown with white stripe wires go. One comes out of the wiper switch harness and one comes out of the wiper switch harness. They have "female" spade ends on them and I can't find a place to plug them in.

There is a seperate 3rd wire for the horn that grounds directly to the body. I think one of these gounds the wiper and one the turn signal switch. From the placement and length of wire they have to attach around the steering column somewhere but I can't see where they go.

Yes the brown wire grounds to the body, but the two other wires connect to the horn to complete the ground circuit. Here is a 71 electrical diagram with legends. If you click on the diagram or legend you can zoom in to see it better. Are you sure you do not have two male connectors in your horn for these two wires?

Hi Kurt I appreciate that your trying to help me. Maybe I'm being stubborn. Actually there are 3 loose ground wires in the area of the steering column. two are brown with a white stripe and one is solid brown. The solid brown one is an approx. 18 inch lenth of wire with 2 female ends. I think I figures out that one grounds to the body under the dash and one end goes on the back of the 65-73 style round horn contact disc. There is only one male end on the back of the horn contact disc so I don't think 2 or 3 wires go there. THat leaves the 2 brown with white stripes wires (see pics) one coming out of each of the wiper and turn signal wiring harnesses. To me those are to ground those wiring harnesses and don't connect to the horn.
