I have a new windshield washer pump, which was not in the truck when I got it. So I don't know how the original hoses were run up to the tee on the hood. And I think the pump output, which is 1/8", is larger than the hoses going to the washers. I got 6 feet of 1/8" ID hose.
Does anyone have pics of how this hose is supposed to run from the pump to the tee? As always, any help is appreciated.
EDIT: I think I found what I need in the parts manual. But if anyone has pics, I'd still appreciate seeing them.
Okay, I'll probably use wire ties instead. I have a couple of holes in that area which might be what were originally used to hold the clamps. But they're not where these are shown in the pic. Farther to the driver's side.
Do you know if the copper strap near the left mount hole on the pump is to provide the ground to the pump through the frame by way of that mounting screw? If so, that would mean I need to run 12V from the dash switch, as there's only one connector on the pump.
Yes, that's correct. The ground for the pump comes from the one screw that goes through the grounding strap on the pump.
Here's a pic of a low mileage truck and if you look at the clips on the cowl the farthest one on the right and the 4th one from the right are the two that support the washer hose line to the "T". Same distinctive olive green color. Not that it matters, just so you can see the location of some originals.
Perfect. That's what I wanted to see. Thanks again.
Now I need to see if the switch is still good. I haven't even looked to see if it's connected, but there's no wire running to the area of the pump, so I doubt it.
The 11500 should be a normally open type of switch. Easy to test, of course, just put an ohmmeter across it and it should read infinite resistance and then push the button and it should fall to near zero ohms. You know this, but for any follow-on readers.

Okay, the switch is good. Both wires are connected to it (one black and one black with white stripe), and one runs out through the top of the firewall as it should. I can't tell where it is in the harness, but I'll find it. Because of the rat's nest the PO made under the dash, I can't tell where the other wire is leading to power (if it is), but that also will be easy to wire up. I should probably make sure it runs the ignition switch so it's not always hot. For all I know, it may already be wired in there. I just can't see individual wires in the rat's nest. Lots of things would be easier to work on if they hadn't destroyed the wiring harnesses.
From what I have seen over the years on 66 trucks....two wires from a momentary switch located in dash above ignition switch; one connects via a spade connector to the fuse block as power supply. The second wire goes through the firewall independently of the wiring harness to the pump - grommet to seal passage through firewall. Ground supplied to pump via mounting screw as previously stated. I’m not at home, so cannot look at trucks to check wire color. I purchased the repop washer pumps for both trucks - both pumps failed within two years, so I don’t think they are too reliable and I bet all the reproduction suppliers are sourcing the pump from a single overseas manufacturer. I have seen the pump listed as NOS on the bay for twice the price of repop, but that may be the only way to acquire a reliable unit.
1965/66 windshield washer switch located above the ignition switch is the same as the 1952/55 truck starter button (2C-11500-A) / Obsolete ~ 8 available NOS

I thought it looked different from the starter switch in my 51 F4. Interesting that the wires' contacts insert into the back of the switch. That surprised me when I was checking it for continuity.
Switch is 1952/55 (2C-11500-A) not 1948/51 (6A-11500) & 1946/48 Ford/Merc Passenger Car.
Yes Bill, I read your 1st message correctly. I was just commenting that I thought it looked different from the one in Betsy. But since I no longer have Betsy, I couldn't check it out. I left that truck in CA with my son.
