Interesting.

Yep, got it. Fuses 13/14.

My 1974 wiring diagram shows pink/black feeding the fuses from the battery side. And then pink/black and yellow on the other side are going to the power window relays as supply power.

My diagram does not show the two green/black which are both carrying current on ignition so I'm going to presume that these are battery supply and there are small variations in wiring colours.

BUT!!!

The pink/black has power direct from battery. (With ignition off)

BOTH green/black wires take power from ignition.

So with ignition on I have power on both sides of one of those fuses! That's obviously not right.

And to confuse matters more, if I fit a fuse between the pink/black and the green/black in fuse position 13, I get ignition and fuel pump running so I'm backfeeding power into the ignition curcuit!

Jeez I wish people would frig around with these cars and not leave notes for others.

I'm now going to have to trace the pink/black and find out why it has power on it at all times.

Strange thing is, both windows work, fo figure?

Do we know where the window relays are placed so I can work backwards from the relays?
