<VV> EM wiring question

Connected as you describe, the only function it could have is to bypass a 
bad connection in the harness.

Sounds good, except the yellow wire is from the light switch in the dash to 
the high beam switch on the floor. Both high and low beam H/Ls go through 
the high beam switch. The high beam side of that switch has two wires, one 
for the lights and one for the indicator in the dash. Could it be that the 
high fan can't be used when the lights are on?

Since this car has no AC, I'll be considering this wire to be extra.

The wiring on this car was such a mess. At some point in its past, someone 
bought a box of those 3 way splices and took it as a challenge to use them 
all. Several wires had multiple splices within just a few inches, yet no 
wires coming off the splice. Fortunately, Terry Kalp provided both the fuse 
block and trunk harnesses. Returning wiring to stock in not always fun or 
easy.

Yes , Paul is correct. My 64 supposedly has this wire, as the prior
owner told me it was there since it was a factory A/C Monza. It is due
to current limitations on the generator. It cannot supply both high
beams and high speed blower while charging the battery. Not a problem in
the daytime, and high blower speed not usually needed at night.
