electrical prob.

[lfdsteve]

Yes its a.71 pontiac. I have the schematic but it is impossible for me to tell which way the hot comes from. It looks from the diagram that the 12g red comes from the c on the 5 pin ign plug that it shows should be hot in run position, and a 14g red off the 4 pin b which also showed hot in run per diagram. Both run to switch.
I have a brown with white stripe that comes into hl plug that is hot also, is this supposed to be hot?
Also it dosnt do it if I unplug the rear harnes plug from the side of the fuse box. This would lead me to believe that the cross is between this plug and the rear of the car but I have not touched this harness at all. Could all this be caused by a.hot feeding back thru the ground?
I hate electrical thanx for the help
