Application
Suitable for Dodge WC ¾ ton Weapon Carriers (WC-51, WC-52) and comparable open/closed cab models from 1942-1945. Fits vehicles with both early push-pull and late rotary headlight switch. NOT suitable for Command Cars (WC-56, WC-57) and Carryalls/Ambulances which use different wiring.
Installation notes
Runs from the junction block on the bulkhead to the dashboard lighting. During installation, first test the disconnected wiring with a multimeter for verification. Colour coding may differ from TM diagrams — verify function per wire. Note: early and late WC models have different wiring routes for blackout lighting.
Compatibility
Does NOT fit Command Cars (WC-56/57) and Carryalls/Ambulances — these have different harness configurations. Does NOT fit ½ ton WC models (WC-21 etc.) which use different wiring diagrams. Difference between early/late production: early models have separate push-pull blackout switch with longer wires, late models have rotary switch with integrated blackout control.
Historical context
Dodge produced the WC ¾ ton series from 1942 to 1945 as the standard light lorry for Allied forces. The 6V electrical system provided instrument lighting, blackout lighting and standard driving lights for day and night operations.
