Why I can't give a definitive answer:
* Multiple Circuits: A single color code can be used for multiple, completely different circuits in a car.
* Regional Variations: Wiring harnesses might have slight variations depending on the options your car came with (e.g., different audio systems, power options).
* Aftermarket Modifications: Previous owners might have modified the wiring.
How to find the answer:
1. Consult a Factory Wiring Diagram: This is the most reliable method. You can often find these diagrams:
* Online: Websites specializing in automotive repair manuals (like Mitchell, AllData, etc.) may have them. These often require a subscription.
* Repair Manuals: A Haynes or Chilton repair manual for your specific year and model Chrysler New Yorker will contain wiring diagrams.
* Dealership: A Chrysler dealership might have access to electronic diagrams.
2. Trace the Wires: Carefully follow the wires from their point under the hood to where they connect. This might reveal their function. Be extremely cautious when doing this. Disconnect the battery negative terminal first to avoid short circuits.
3. Use a Multimeter: A multimeter can help you trace the circuit by testing for voltage and continuity, but this requires some electrical knowledge and is potentially dangerous if done incorrectly.
Important Safety Note: Working with automotive electrical systems can be dangerous. If you're not comfortable with automotive electrical work, it's best to take your car to a qualified mechanic. Incorrectly identifying or working with these wires can lead to damage to your car's electrical system or even injury.
