Fixing the wires one problem at a time. When I picked up the Chrysler (mid summer in Texas) it had no working A/C or power windows. The drivers window switch was defective and the wires going to the door were severed ( broke from opening and closing the door. As such, i had to bypass the switch and broken wires to get 2 windows to open and close.
Just repaired the broken wires and switch.

Is that standard electrical tape?
If so, you should do a collar of cold-shrink tape on the ends, to keep it from unraveling.

Still working on the wires. Under hood wires were cut sometime in the past when my brother had the chrysler. Had to track down appropriate connectors for the parking, side marker lights, and fender turn signal lights. Also, trace the wires for continuity. Slow process. Wire diagrams are necessary
Will test the trunk release parts later.

UP date on the chryslers progress. Installed trim on the vinyl top and window seals. Made sure areas were sealed and protected against rust.
Next on to trunk seal and installing wires. Had to go on ebay searching for parts. Found the two emblems for the roof. Somehow I misplaced the hood latch mechanism so purchased a used on on ebay.
Trim along the roof line was difficult. But now correctly installed. Soon will install the weather seal.
Progress has been slow, other things came up and weather has been exteemely hot. So staying indoors.

Cleaning the AC case
Looks like you will be done for a run to Carlisle.
After cleaning I have painted the cases w/ mat clear giving a like new appearance. I have used @detroitmuscletechnologies as a source for foam seals to finish the job. If you run into problems PM me.

Installed the door seals, handles and locks. Different from a chevy and more difficult to install until you get the feel for it. Used origional seals.

Another pic with the drivers door lock in place and a tool I made to raise and lower the window. Using a small lawn tractor battery hook up the tool as such: Red to + and black to - to raise the window: reverse Red to - and black to + to lower the window.
