While in the process of rewiring my 66' the spade connecter off of an electrical component broke off. This component doesn't seem to show up in any of my wiring diagrams though. It looks similar to the constant voltage device that is on the guage board, but it is longer and is mounted on the steering brace just behind the wiper motor towards the passenger side. It has 1/4 inch spade connections like the constant voltage regulater does. I need to replace this piece now but don't know it's function. Any help greatly appreciated!

Hello.

It sounds like you are describing the circuit breaker for the keyed power feed for the foglight switch. It's normally mounted on the passenger side of the big bracket that the pedals are hanging off of, and isn't in any of the more common wiring diagrams.

It sound more like a seat belt relay. Most circuit breakers have a screw post.

Does this relay usually mount on the brace? My fog light CB is a post style termination like you said. I do have a seat belt light on the dash. I'll still post a pic when I get home thanks for the tip.
