It seems like every couple of months when I get in my 79 I have a mystery wire hanging down.  Here's the latest.... any guesses what it is?  


Thanks!

It is up on the heater box just above the gas pedal, it activates the defrost door I believe. I have attached a picture of mine when I was taking it apart (click here to see). See if that helps you work it out.

See of your defroster works Adam. Changing from vents to defrost on the HVAC controls and not going from vents to defrost would be a good conformation. Wink

I am away from home for work so been off the computor, how did you make out Adam? Find the missing link LOL under the dash, it is a tought one to get at.
 
As for the Vega steering wheel Dan I like to think it was an extreme upgrade for the Vega's so they put it into the 76 vettes to do it justice. Beer Drinking Yellow Smiley Face Smile Images
