    Hello all, I recently got my hands on the aaw updated wiring harness and wanted to use it to hook up the bare minimum needed to get the engine to crank and run. The reason? Mainly for future electrical diagnosing issues and for potential projects. I have a 1970 mustang coupe grande with AC and...

    Hi. I have a 1967 convertible with a 1985 Mustang 302 engine in it. I'm not certain if all of the below is related, but want to provide as many clues as I can. When I restored it 15 years ago or so, I had all the electrical working properly and reliably (lights, directionals, interior, dash...

    Rewiring my 68 Mustang Hi all, this is a brief summary of my rewiring extravaganza of my 1968 inline 6 Mustang (auto without AC). The intent is to help others who are trying to rewire their own classic car. I do not have any mechanical background and no electrical engineering background...

    Hi guys, I’ve recently purchased a bluetooth amp (ZK-502C). I’ve installed it into a vintage Falcon with radio-delete using the choke cable location and a modified headlight switch chassis. It’s completely invisible and it works brilliantly! Use the original choke knob as volume control and it’s...

    Hello all, I have a 1966 coupe with a rebuilt 289 ready to run. We had it running before frying a wiring harness (alternator harness portion). That was replaced and now we seem to have lost the spark. We have only 4.8 volts coming out of the MSD ignition box and nothing coming back to it. Does...

    Anyone ever replace the fuse panel with something that uses modern blade fuses? Finding a 20A SFE in the right length (3/4" or 1", I forget) is a challenge. The majority I can find are 1¼, which is way too long for the hazard/cigarette fuse.

    Hey guys, having some trouble with the new LED tail lights I've just installed. They're not the sequential ones, just the three panel ones: https://www.cjponyparts.com/led-taillight-assembly-1967-1968/p/TLLED13/ That page says it needs an LED flasher, and I'm using some standard 552s, so if...

    Hi guys! Been on the forum as an observer for quite some time, but haven't been able to find an answer about this one so I made an account and here I am. I've got a 67 Mustang I6, and the turn signal wouldn't stay locked in the right position and the horn wouldn't work. Figured it was that...

    So a while ago someone told me that my left brake light was not lighting up. The tail light is still on as a running light but when I hit the brake it does not light up. So then I checked the turn signal - the rear left turn signal was not working either! Well, I had already had trouble with...

    Hey Everybody, last night when I went to turn the key on my mustang all lights turned on (gauge cluster) for a split second and than everything in the car (all the lights and power) turned off and I can’t get anything to turn on. I replaced the battery, solenoid, ignition switch, and checked all...

    Hello all, coming to you with my most recent issue. The dash light comes on when I press on the brake. When the car is running already with headlights on you can't tell but if the car is off and the lights are off the dash lights come on. Another thing and I have no idea whether this is...

    I have searched forums and all over the web looking for the same exact issue but I can't seem to find a solution. I've examined my electrical diagrams but don't know what needs to be fixed here. My wire that powers my instrument panel is running really hot. It is marked as a resistor wire and...

    Hello again While connecting the rear speakers to the stereo behind the dash, i felt the main harness was hot to the touch. Pulled out the dash and cut open the harness, and a violet wire was getting hotter than everything else, measures 40c (everything else 20c). Traced one end to the main...

    Hello, I've been working on my 65' Mustang and have completed in installing the American Autowire harness that closely resembles a stock harness. However, I can't seem to get the brake lights to work right. They come on at full brightness when I turn on my headlight. They also come one when I...

    I am in the process of restoring my 1969 Mustang Grande. Earlier today i installed the clock and main gauge cluster to test. All the lights worked fine as did the clock, with the ignition in the OFF position. When I turned the ignition to the ACCESSORY position, smoke began billowing out from...

    Hello I am a 21 year old working to get a 1966 auto 289 coupe back up and running. The car has been great mechanically but the wiring like most of these cars is a basket case. I have no lights in the dash, no flashing indicators, and no tail lights. The only way I know they have power is because...
