It appears that the upgrade forces a login and many, many of you have forgotten your passwords and didn't set up any reminders. Contact me directly through helpmelogin@dodgecharger.com and I'll help sort it out.

 Where and how do I connect/splice into so my electrical doors work. Any pic's for those of us that are not good with this kind of swap. ? Thanks. :cheers:

A wiring diagram might help. You need power to the doors.After you hang the bumper grille assembly.But also need a relay for opening and closing of the headlight doors

Nice upgrade!  You need a 72 Charger Manual & you need to find the correct relay/circuit breaker setup.
OR you can Upgrade as mentioned above

Still need the manual though

 I tried them for my brother in laws 69 Ford F100 and the diagram and wiring was wrong. I called this joker 3 times and he never answered or returned my phone calls.  I do not recommend this jerk. Thanks though. anyone else. ??

Nacho, I am finally getting around do doing this. What does this breaker look like ? It's not next to the ignition/starter relay is it. ? Just for clarification, the relay box is the same thing as a starter relay correct. ?
Either way I still have no idea what this breaker box looks like under the hood.

Nacho-RT74

is not under the hood, is down the dash frame. All the relay and wiring is down the dash frame and then the two output wires to motor going throught firewall with a grommet.

breaker is a safety switch to cut the power if some short or malfunction, getting back when everything is solved

You can use it without a breaker, but I think will be some risky in case of motor gear accidentally never gets the point to cut the power from inside. Hard that happens though, but if something blocks the doors, it could.


attaches just like this ( on repros and originals, both the same, this is the repro )


here is a NOS relay

with a metallic strip between the breaker stud and the feed source to relay...

you can get someone around like this:

but mostly sure some electrical auto parts store will have some. If not exact, something that will work

If not, you can get that one or simply type MOPAR BREAKER on ebay.

Not sure whats the correct ampereage on the breaker though... maybe 20 amps ?

Power windows uses same kind of breakers

here is for example how 70s and 71/72 are attached down the dash frame. 70 below the headlights switch, 71/72 between ashtray and glovebox.
