Need Help Identifying loose Wire in Front Fuse Box
 
I installed my classic retrofit fuse panel last night and I was very careful (I thought) to transfer wires one-at-a-time and when I was all done, a little wire showed up - Dang!

I checked all my before photos and I can't see this wire anywhere. It's white with a blue stripe. See below...

Closest "before" photo I have. I think the wire belongs on terminal #1 of the right fuse block:

high beam indicator lamp wire.
Pull the tach and bulb to confirm if you need to. Fuse 8 on Your '74.

Thanks!

I'm going to spend some quality time tonight checking and double checking all wires and compare to my original before photos.

Terminal 8 makes sense because that is the one terminal that I got temporarily mixed up on. Easy to do since my '74 doesn't have the 3 fuses that the later cars have so lining up the panels was not as easy.

Good info from Dennis. Looks like your dip and main pairs are the wrong way round on the bottom. Blue and blue/white come off the white pair (1&2). yellow and yellow/green come off the yellow pair(3&4). Refer to Dennis's wiring diagram.

In practice, it will mean that your dip/main functions are reversed at the stalk. if it was always like that, then your main beam warning light would have been on with the dip!!!!

Just in case you don't have the '74 color schematics Vern. :)

Thanks Dennis!

This is not the first time you have bailed me out :)
