69 roadrunner ignition key light
Hello mopar fans! I'm trying to complete the A01 light kit for my 69 RR. I have the ash tray light, heater control light and glove box light all working great. I just purchased the key ignition delay light and want to install it. I noticed it only has a yellow cable with plug on end. How hard and what else will I need to complete the install? I'm going to take a peak behind the dash to see if I can find the delay timer relay. I do know thats what I will need but not sure about other wiring to make it work. I'm hoping I will find this relay with other end of yellow wire to plug in and maybe find the battery power cable (orange) and I can just plug them in and see if it will work. If anyone has an incite please do share Also any help on truck and under hood lights would be great!

If someone that owns a 69 RR that has this option could post some pictures maybe of the wiring or how it's installed would be awesome! I got the light in yesterday and i'm going to look under dash this weekend to see if I have the relay. Thanks in advance!!!

Get yourself a proper factory shop manual. The best I can do for ya is to have you download this:
http://www.abodyjoe.com/pictures/Mis...e%20manual.pdf
This is hosted by "AbodyJoe" over at "For A bodies only" and this is the factory 69 Dodge manual for Dart / Coronet / Charger.
Coronet is very similar if not THE same as your RR
Pages 8-104 --- 8-107 show the dash area, but that option is not there.
I DO find it on page 8-112 listed for 'Dart' I'm sure the wiring is the same, as Ma carried the same theme throughout
Here's a screenshot of 8-112
The "thing" is a mess because of the map light which in itself is a bunch of trickery. If I remember correctly, what is NOT shown in the diagram is that the map light switch must contact ground, IE the internal contacts ground to the switch mount.
You can see that the delay part of the circuit mainly interfaces with two existing harness wires at lower left, both part of the main under--dash harness
M2A--18Y and X1-16R, so go back up to the main dash circuit on page 8-106---8-107, and you find M2A-18Y at far bottom left of page 8-106. This wire originally goes to the right door switch. So you UNHOOK that wire from the switch, plug it into the female on page 8-112, and then plug the yellow M2F18Y from the delay harness back into the disconnected switch.
X1-16R is the original dash harness wire connected to the cig. lighter. Again, you disconnect that wire, connect it to the delay harness, and then connect the delay harness wire M3-16P back up to the lighter

I have a 69 Plymouth service manual but I think I might have a bad ground and the diagram seems to be ,as you mentioned, unclear and incomplete concerning the ignition delay light. I'm not understanding what you are saying about disconnecting and reconnecting. The harness is unmolested best I can see. Are you responding to the original post? Thanks!!

If the "new" harness you have does not have the delay relay, sounds as if it's incomplete
Frankly, without the original destructions from whatever original dealer installed kit, this is pretty much a "figure it out yourself" deal.
