[Roadsters] Mystery wires by headlights

[Pete Peters]

I think Pat is correct. Black is generally a ground, and the green/white
stripe generally is the power for various lighting sources on many 60's and
70's Datsuns.

Horn is a completely separate circuit. Yes, you do have green/white stripe
and black wires to the horn relay, then solid green from the relay to the
horns, but there isn't a pair of them near both headlights.

Could they be for the side marker light? See if there is another pair on the
other front corner. I have a 67.5, so it wouldn't do to look at mine.

Peace,
Pat

I have a '68 2000 with color wiring diagram available. I'm trying to
determine a pair a wires under the hood located by the left and right
headlights coming out of the harness with the others. I have identified 2
other pairs not attached to anything as the foglights which I do not have
(red/green stripe and black).

The ones I need help with are green/white stripe and black. My headlights
and turn signals are connected and fine. These pairs are not attached to
anything.

The only other symptom elsewhere is that my horn doesnt work but I'm
thinking its under the Grant steering wheel as the problem. Maybe not?? If I
connect a jumper from + battery directly to the horn, it works.

If someone has a chance to peek under their hood and see if they have these
wires connected to anything, that would be awesome!!

Happy 4th!!!!
