Got a test light?
The prism light does not have power going to it, but if I put power to it, it does light up; so the bulb is good and the ground to the chases is good.
My question is, what wire (color, source, other description) is the correct power source. It needs to be a power source that is not always on. Thinking maybe only when the key is in the ignition and the car is not started? Maybe the lights are on too??? I don't know. But the red wire with the white stripe, that is not connected to anything, if I connect it to the prism light, it lights up, but stays on even with the key removed and the lights off and the door is closed ....

Prisma goes on when the parking lights/head lights go on so check that. Do you have a blue/white wire in there?
Thank you for that information, will help me figure this out. No, no blue/white wire; just a red/white (power always on) and a brown/red wire that seems to be a ground. ... Though the wire going to the horn maybe incorrect!! The red/white makes sense going to the horn (always powered on), wondering if the wire that is connected to the horn could be it!! Will hav to check this out!!
Horn is not always on, it requires the key so that's not correct either, unless it was an early car "feature."
It might be the seat belt buzzer which has been removed.
Small silver can that looks like a relay and fits in the upper steering column cover, has an L shaped bracket on it for a mount.
There used to be an easy to find wiring schematic on this website- maybe someone will volunteer on how to find it for you. It shows the wire, the source, the color, the gauge. If you want a 17” x 36” schematic in print - LMK

Download the pdf to a thumb drive and take to Kinkos/FedEx in 24x36.
I posted a pic of my buzzer before I yanked it so a search might turn it up. Isn’t it a key reminder buzzer? I forgot.
Dont forget to use the "Media" menu on the forum header, lots of organized images which are invaluable.
