    1970 300 Power Seat Switch

    Well I got the unit apart and back in except for the middle section, which either was broken or I broke. I believe the switch is a NU523 Front Seat Control Switch. There were 3 sections, which each held a switch. The sections were like a ice cube shape with clips on them. The middle one fall...

    1970 300 Power Seat Switch

    I have found my power seat switch is draining my battery over a day or so. It seems like the middle switch is not going back to the "neutral position". I am in an area with a lot of new homes being built and I think the trucks going by, shakes the car and the power seat tries to move and then...

    1970 300 fuel gauge

    I got it working! Had to take the dash out. I compared it to the other used one I had, checked all the parts and took the best of both, cleaned them and put them back. It works! Thanks for the advice! It is great to have a place to go to "talk" with others about the problems you run into...

    1970 300 fuel gauge

    I have replace all of the wiring on my 300 (thought it was a good idea at the time, but not sure now!) and still having problems with the fuel gauge reading. Before I tear it all apart I wanted to get an idea how it works or what to expect. Normally I expect a 12 v power going into the unit, a...

    For Sale 1969-1971 Chrysler New Yorkers (not mine)

    It would be a nice drive back in the summer. That open road and that power under the hood! I have taken my Land Yacht on many of those trips across the country and the only problem was they ended! There were times, I just wanted to keep driving, the road was straight, the sun was out and the...

    1970 300 - Replace Wiring

    The Painless harness (10127) I purchased was for 1966-76 Mopars, so it should have worked, I would think. The manual I am using is for a 300/Imperial and Painless said it worked for the Imperial but did not mention 300. I wish Painless had a diagram for their wiring harness. I will check the...

    1970 300 - Replace Wiring

    I thought purchasing a new modern Painless Mopar harness was going to be the answer to my electrical problems and maybe one day it will! I have found Painless of NO help and I use to think I understood car wiring. I thought I had all of the turning signals working, but then I ran into some...

    1970 Chrysler 300 - Wiring Replacement

    Well, the brake light switch I was looking at was the brake warning switch in the engine area and the switch is under the dash! The inside "dome" lights still have me confused. I think it is a yellow and pink wire that connects to the light socket. The bulb has 2 connectors or nibbles where I...

    1970 Chrysler 300 - Wiring Replacement

    Well, I am still working on the PainFULL wiring harness! I use to think I understood electrical diagrams! It could be age! I got lot/some of it done. The problem is figuring out what Painless harness does and what Chrysler does. 1) Painless expects 2 wires for the brakes and the 300 has...

    1970 300 Concealed Headlamps

    I went with a relay that powers on wire when the trigger is off and another wire when the trigger is on. It Works!!! The only thing I am wondering if my main power should be coming from a keyed power source or just a constant power source such as the battery?

    1970 300 Concealed Headlamps

    I have a 1970 Chrysler 300 with Concealed Headlamps and I would like to re-wire it, so I need to understand how they work. I have disconnected the motor leads and I thought when one lead had power, that it would cause the unit to open and if I connected the battery to the other motor lead the...

    1970 Chrysler 300 replacement harness

    Well, the unit is working! The switch had moved down on the column, so when I turned the key, the connecting rod did not push the switch enough and the switch did not engage.
