47 Taillight harness location

[Rustedjunk]

I'm trying to figure out where the wire loom to the taillight harness should go on my on my 47 Tudor. The previous owner used housing wire to wire the car. Everything he did has been removed. I'm trying to make things right in this car again.

along the left frame rail.. then into the trunk.. taillight themselves end right there and right side goes over in front of the gas tank

Find yourself a wiring diagram. If everything was substituted with the wrong wire, buy yourself a new harness.

Thank you both.

Does the routing diagram help any? A lot of good information at VanPelt's site.

I ran mine down the inside of the frame on the left and than across the rear part of the frame to the right side.

Not a bad idea then.

That would be correct.

that's how the factory wiring in my 47 is. im about to start shopping for a replacement harness for the whole car. the factory cloth covered wire is brittle and falling apart. bare wires everywhere.
scary stuff
