Its been while since I have been on here the summer here was miserable So now im working on my truck again




Im switching from the old round style ( for an 82 F100 ) vacuum switch for the climate control with


a square connecter ( seen on the right ) to a newer switch.


there are 2 brown wires with white stripe


one brown with orange stripe and


one green with barber shop stripes


so my question is what order do the go in the red the plug on left


in the photo

 

Can't begin to help you unless you list both years that these came from. You said the one on the right goes to a 1982? What does the red one on the left go to?

 

the little box on the left is the replacement for my year of truck both are 4 prong connecters

 

This is your A/C mode switch. My diagram does not show the connector positions. All I can tell you is the brown/orange wire is the hot wire from the fuse box. The lightgreen/pink wire leaves the switch to feed the low pressure switch and then the clutch for the A/C compressor. I can't figure out what the two brown/white wires do, they are spliced together in the harness. Maybe I will go to Gary's site and see what he has on it.

 

According to this diagram I am wrong in the post above.



The hot wires are the brown/whites. The brown/orange goes to the blower and feeds it so it runs all the time with the a/c on so it won't freeze up. The Lightgreen/pink is still the clutch for the compressor. I don't see a connector reference in this diagram either, so you will have to take a meter and probe the connector to figure out whats what.

P.S. It says "see page 100 for switch terminals" in the diagram. I don't know if Gary put that page up or not.

 

I appreciate your help on this. the 82's to 83's I think there may been two different style first being the square type, i'm not certain of this. But any way knowing what wire goes to what is a big help thanks for the help. When I get it hooked up maybe tomorrow will get pics. Thanks again

Thank you both for your help. just what I needed
as I said earlier I will post a pic when I get it hooked up

 

Ok I finally got around to stalling the climate control unit. In the picture you can see how I have it wired Every thing works, so it must be right. To answer Franklin Question I think the Brown/white wires are common
