There are no electrical wires on a C4.

He is talking about the wires for the neutral safety switch and the backup lights.

if memory serves me right their should be 4 wires. 2 wires for the neutral safety and 2 for backup.

i don't have a wiring diagram handy (but any wiring diagram for any ford vehicle probably from 69 - early 80's will work as the switches were all pretty generic as far as function), but you can see what two wires are open in park and neutral and that is the neutral safety and gets wired in series with the start wires from your ignition switch.

and of course the backup wires will be open in reverse.

if you still require a wiring diagram, i will copy one for my 79 ford truck, it should be close enough to work.
