Hi Folks.
I restore the electric on my 59 coupe.It has AC,and someone has messed it up under Dach.
I have tried to get the harness,and the elecric bables back on place,but look at this.I need some help.
See photo;The cables at the Autronic eye, goes to the switch on the floor front light switch,but then some others goes to a reley..I cant find that reley,but where is it,???
Also on the top of the Brake-pedal,its a "thing" with two sticers on.(Switch,??)
Whats that for..Thanks for helping me out.HEADACE.svein in Norway.Look at the red arrow.

Sorry that I can't help you out on the AC part of your post, but with regard to the switch at the brake pedal: I think it could be two things: the brakelight switch or, if the car is equiped with cruise control, the cruise control cut out switch (to disengage the cruise control when the brakes are applied).

MY 59

Hi Svein,

the autronic eye wiring on my '59 is different to the picture you have and different to what is shown in my 59 shop manual.
my Autronic eye has a single cable running from it that plugs directly into the amplifier box behind the kick panel. much simpler than what is shown (what is shown may be for a '60 or later??)

Its not the main cable I am telling ya,its the viring.I think I know now,because a cable is "extra",and not in use inside the car,and should be on the Autronic eye relay Amplifier,in engine room,under Horn realay,on inner fender..Thanks folks...
Do any of ya have an 59 Fan complete for me,?? Gotta be an car with AC,as they are different.The fan on the car now,is not original...

Svein,
Julien and Dave are correct with respect to their comments.
I'm not sure I understood your requests, but here are a few pics which may help as they relate to the brakes and cruise control switches and their locations.
Also some pics for the Autronic eye harnesses - 3 wire plug to Control box and cable for Sensor.
As for A/C - I don't understand the question.
Have fun,
Steve B.

The autronic eye wiring  on my 59 is the same as the diagram.
The power relay is just below the washer jar.
