Hi Paul

I replaced my entire wiring harness on my 62.Not sure if there the same.But the connection for the rear harness on mine is on the drivers side kick panel area. The wires ran along the floor at the door under a plate. They came out near the end of the door.Ran up the edge of the opened door area toward the back of the seat.Into the convertable top storage area and through the the wall into the trunk.Then to the lights.

Good luck..John

I believe it will be like the 53-55 which runs through the rocker panel, then through the fuel tank compartment before goinginto the trunk area and behind the spare carrier to the right side. A fair challenge to fish through all this.

Tie a string to the end of the old one before you pull it out. That string will become a "traveller." When you pull the old one out, the string will end up in the places the old harness used to be. Then tie the string to the new harness and pull the new harness through.
