Re: Clipper Custom Rear Courtesy Lights

Packard sure was ashamed of that stretch of wiring weren't they-no info anywhere.

I looked at what I could of mine. My seat is apart & back has two wires coming from the L rear corner under carpet as you said--a large and smaller wire. Large appears to be power as it has a connector spliced in behind driver for that light, goes across seat top where another splice feeds lighter and continues to other light. It is the only large wire exiting under dash with continuity to lighter. My dash is out but suspect it is fed from headlight switch fuse block as it is much longer than others in that loom and would reach switch. Most likely the feed for rear window lights also. The other wire in seat back is the other side of each light--one single splice with a connector behind driver for that light and it probably goes up pillar to door switches. Not sure exactly what happens from there though. Two wires under carpet to pillar but I feel several inside pillar so maybe splices. Don't remember if lights are separate or if door or pillar switches operates them all.

If there is still a problem getting things to work, the car is in rough enough shape, I would be willing to remove a few things and investigate further.
