Courtesy Lights

1982 F100. I am wanting to install non factory led strip under my dash to the original courtesy light wires. Looking through the threads I came across:

Wiring Diagram,
Black Ground.
Red/Pink Driver Door Switch to light buzzer.
Brown Headlamp switch to Light buzzer and/or digital clock 1983 to 1986. Hot in Park and Lights on.
Green/Yellow Glove Box Light, and Clock Memory.
Black/Blue Door switches to underdash courtesy.
White/purple Digital Clock
Blue/Red Ash Tray light and/or Digital clock 1980 to 1982
Wiring Applicable in 1984 to 1986 harness extentions and headlamp on buzzers only and will not be used in an earlier 1980 to 1983 application, cause of the seperate belt warning buzzer.
Black/Pink Key Warning Switch
Dk Green/Lt Green Seat Belt Buckle Switch
Red/Yellow Fasten Belt Light.

However, my harness only has 4 wires:


Dark green/yellow?
White/pink
White/purple
black

Any ideas on what these are?

Dagwood, to wire the LED strip all you have to do is run a ground wire and parallel 12V from one of the courtesy lights. This would ensure the LEDs only illuminate with the courtesy lights (i.e. when the door opens, when the courtesy lights are turned ON, etc.).

Sorry, I can't help with that wiring bundle though.

DOH!

You could always drop the headliner to access the dome light, but that's definitely a PITA. Hopefully someone can tell you what wire you need.

You are looking for a black/lightblue wire. The connector you are looking for is c326. I am using a 1981 diagram, so hopefully it's close to the same. C326 is located behind the radio. Here's a picture of it.
