YES!

You will not be happy after you put everything back and the 25 year old vacuum pods start leaking...do it while everything is apart, and not worry about it later.

Thanks Carl, that's not bad advice! I appreciate it.

Default What is this?!

I ran across these two weird wire connectors and wondered if anyone else has seen them when they've had their dash apart? Does anyone know what they are?

If it's a Black wire with purple stripe, I think that's part of the illumination circuit. See if it has 12v when you turn on the headlight switch.

Well, I think it's two different wires. One black and purple and one just black but I'll double-check tonight.

Does anyone else have any idea what these plugs / wire are for?
