My bench seat switch circuit is dead. I found the hot wire cut under the seat, but cannot locate the other end of the hot wire. The wiring diagram indicates the it is connected to the rear cigar lighter hot. (See attached) Is this right? Does anyone have any thoughts about where I may be able to locate the or, or splice in? Thank you.

All of the bench seat wiring feeds from the left side under the door sill plate. Remove the finish screws that hold the driver door sill plate down, remove plate, lift carpet and see the plastic wiring conduit. There is a cut out on inside neareast front corner of seat where the wire's "T-out" toward the seat. They are held down with a couple of red primer color clamps held with Phillips screws. See if you can see the other end of your wire and trace to the cut area and splice back if everything else looks OK.
Hmm, In my 63 CDV only the rear courtesy lights come on when the switch on the back of the front switch is turned on (according to owner's manual too). I believe the circuit works by grounding the lights with the pin switch in the door jambs or with the switch on the back of the front seat for the rear courtesy lights. It seems your switch is grounding for all interior lights. Could be bad door jamb switch(es) allowing the ground for all lights
I had an issue once where turning on the map light would also turn on the courtesy lights. It was the the pin switch allowing grounding of the courtesy lights. If not the pin switches, trace out what is allowing ground to all lights.
Without the 3 prong switch, 2 circuits are tied together meaning grounding one will ground the other. I guess you can chose whether to tie the map light to the front courtesy lights or leave it as is. A 3 prong switch is what you need to separate the circuits.
The 2 or 3 pin door jamb switch keeps the circuits separated. if you out in a single wire door jamb switch, all the lights will come on.

I could use some confirmation. I sent out my radiator for my 63 De Ville to get re-cored. Several weeks later, when I went to pick it up from the service vendor, I noticed a large amount of green…Continue

While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?

Hey everyone, has anybody done a Vintage Air AC/Heat setup in their car? I want to bypass the old vacuum setup and go with a Vintage Air Gen 2 model. Before I get started, does anyone have any experience with this? (Which model to go with, do’s and dont’s, etc.) It looks pretty involved. Any and all info/pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I would prefer to be as original as possible. Thanks

My son, unbeknownst to me, had all three of the horns on our 1963 Eldorado completely restored. We had recently added the Eldorado trumpet horn to the two standard horns and the sound was not very good... we had heard good ones so we knew something was not right... but there was not much we could do to get better sound from the 3 horns.
There is a restoration service called The Horn Works who my son…
