I'm pretty sure I've removed all of the crappy wiring done by the PO.

Not sure that if I got enough of it though lol...


I'll make multiple posts to make sure I don't type a bunch and then screw it all up some how (I'm limited to mobile uploading) so please bear with my on multiple posts!

 

Some connections I'm not sure what they are and any help in ID'ing them would be greatly appreciated!

This is on the drivers side under the dash.


Engine bay drivers side, can't find anything that it could connect to.

 

Hacked up mess of trailer plug wiring.





The yellow wire in the second picture that ends just out of the mess of wires was connected to the battery side of the starter solenoid for some ungodly reason...

Edit for grammar

 

Some weird vacuum (?) Lines that T into this fitting, I have no idea what its for, anybody know?



This one is hard to explain, it has 2 wires coming in from the passenger side and 3 exiting on the drivers side.
2 of the wires on the drivers side go into harness that goes towards the rear drivers side marker/tail lights, and the other WAS tied into the trailer plug but I cut it out of that mess of wire.
On the passenger side one, as you can see, trails off to nothing. The other travels into harness that looks to go to the passenger side marker light.

 

I'm done posting pictures. I look forward to any and all help and/or advice anybody has to offer on any of these pictures.

Thank you all in advance!

 

"hack patrol" is an adventure unto itself....

All I know is the female bullet connector in the bottom pic is for the license plate lights.

Btw, female bullet connectors are typically the hot side of the circuit. Why you ask? Because if it were a male connector and unconnected, then it could easily ground out and blow a fuse. So when doing wiring in your own, insulated female spades and bullets should be "upstream" of the signal voltage. Makes sense, right?

 

In the first picture, the white box is the seat belt buzzer. The rest....good luck.

 

I spy a ford grille through that hole.

 

That's funny, you made me to back and look again, and again... I found it!

 

That all makes sense about using female connectors upstream. that explains why they end out of the bullet connector, my license plate lights are non existent.

 

Interesting, I didn't see any wiring near that little box. Was that optional? Or did the PO do a little wire removal himself?

 

Lol!! Almost looks as if I did that on purpose but that was a total stroke of luck for the picture!

 

Does it have a schrader valve on the other side? Looks like air shock fill port

 

Yes it does. Interesting because I see no other sign of air shocks. Thank you for the help!

 

This reminds me of a story a co-worker told me years ago: He bought a used International Scout, and it had all kinds of electrical problems. He looked under the dash and found a spaghetti mess of wires everywhere and ALL of the wires were blue! The previous owner must have had a big spool of blue wire, and he rewired EVERYTHING with it!
