[DeTomaso] Need help identifying this disconnected wire in my fuse block

[Mike Drew]

Hah! That’s all we need—a color-blind guy wiring a Pantera!

Come to think of it, some have suggested the original guy at the factory was cursed with the same affliction. :)

   Hah! That's all we need--a color-blind guy wiring a Pantera!

   Come to think of it, some have suggested the original guy at the
   factory was cursed with the same affliction. :)

   I see what you mean, about the naked tab on fuse #8.  I tested the
   wipers and they work fine. Low speed, high speed and parking function
   properly.
   I'm color blind, but the loose wire looks grey to me, similar to the
   one coming off fuse #6.  I'll get another opinion on the color
   tomorrow...
   Thanks for your help,
   Dennis

   I see a naked tab on fuse #8. The wiring diagram says a green wire goes
   from fuse #8 to the windshield wiper motor. I don't see any sign of a
   green wire elsewhere on fuse #8. From the photo it appears the
   disconnected green wire could reach to the naked tab on fuse #8.
   Could that be it?
