I'm in the depths of a full dash replacement and I'm need to figure out a situation.
I have a couple things to address. FUSE 11 (Hazard / Interior Light) has never worked-dead short immediately. I thought I remember someone saying that I need to look at the ground under the passenger seat and the passenger door switch as possible issues there. But I also have a some weirdness with the Hazard too... There is a new square relay installed and some wires cut in from the factory hazard switcher. The turn signals are all working, but I need to get the hazards operational. And on top of that, I discovered this red wire, long melted...will splice in a new wire, but thought the group might be able to point me in a direction. I know I have a color wiring chart...off to the archives for it to start looking for things. |

I had to install a complete replacement harness in my 76 & decided to fuze everything as there were problems with the old harness.
Installed a 1 in 4 out fuze block near the battery for the 4 red wires coming off the battery. Fuzed with 2- 25 amp & 2- 10 amp fuzes. Now I sleep well (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Now I sleep well (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I'm doing the same thing as I rebuild my '73 loom. I fused the two 10 gauge red wires to the fuse box under the dash. Also added two 12 gauge wires for optional equipment like stereo and heated seats. Both looms I had showed heat damage to the these two key power wires and the yellow wire from ignition switch to the regulator board in the back. Also did the Ford solenoid conversion to reduce the load on the ignition switch. |
