What are "these" Wires

Post by papadopalas »

I've looked thru the diagrams I have and don't see these. There are a blue with a red tracer and a green with a white tracer hanging in my trunk. they have connectors on them and are about the same length. They're near the right tail light. Any ideas? Power antenna maybe?

I've looked at every wiring diagram I can find for a 1979.
The only thing on the diagram that comes close is a pair of wires for the power antenna motor, but they are blue/red and light-blue/white.
There is always a possibility that someone at the factory used green/white in place of the light blue/white.
Stranger things have happened to Fiats when they were built.

The strange thing is that you have them near the right tail. The antenna is on the left, isn't ?
