This is probably a long shot, but does anyone happen to have a clear picture of the engine wiring harness for a 96 e350 7.3 routed OEM? I’m finishing up my wiring harness rebuild and about to install. I’m feeling confident that it’s gonna be solid but I’d love to see a photo of the exact routing. I stupidly forgot to take a picture before pulling it out and while I had the valley empty. I’ve found an illustration that is helpful, and a clear photo would be extra helpful.

Thanks in advance!

first three links go to super offers dot com

I suggest using the actual link when posting as many wont click a link like that since it can go anywhere

 

@knottyrope

Try clicking the links on a different device. I'm concerned that your device is redirecting these links to a website other than Amazon.

I've lowered security settings to look at all four links, and all four went to Amazon listings consistent with the Thelegendl23's verbal description and intended contextual contribution to the thread (which is not necessarily applicable or relevant to an E-350 van that the OP has.)

The short hand url a.co is owned and used by Amazon.

If your current device is redirecting to another website, there could be a trojan in your device.

I will continue to investigate with other browsers, but in two trials thus far, I have not found a problem with the links as posted, other than the wire harnesses being for the F-Series, rather than the E-Series.

 

I can't imagine it's too much different than an F series, most everything is on the top of the motor in the valley in front of the fuel bowl. Starter solenoid lead runs to the starter solenoid on the passenger fender and the lead with coolant temp, oil pressure, and CPS run down the front of the motor in front of the HPOP behind the belt etc. I just did one on my F250 and it was hard to get anything in the wrong spot.

 

Links were copied directly from Amazon as a share. Also I had several more there including the e series but they didn't post. Hey that's cool was just trying to help. Only been working on 7.3s for 30 years is all.

 

turned on my popup blocker and now it dont redirect them
no other sites im on do this and this is a new pc

 

@knottyrope

Firstly, thank you so much for being on the alert, not just for yourself, but for everyone on FTE.

Since you raised a concern in front of everyone, that if true, could potentially effect everyone, the concern should be resolved in front of everyone, when and where raised.

That concern is this: "no other sites im on do this", where "this" is the "first three links go to super offers dot com" unless a "pop up blocker" is turned on to prevent redirects.

Unaddressed, this conclusion could leave an errant impression that FTE is less safe to browse than other sites, without a pop up blocker having to be turned on.

This would raise any readers alarm, and therefore deserves some attention to figure out what went wrong. Here's what went wrong:




When you first PM'd me about the links, we were both looking at Thelegendl23's second post of these links in the thread https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...l#post21826800.

On my computer, the invalid links in that second post failed to work and came up as blank pages. I had not seen the first post yet at that time.

On your computer, you reported that the invalid links redircted to a website called "super offers dot com". As you can see from the raw script of the FTE webpages for both of Thelegendl23's post, there is no script command on FTE's part, nor on the OP's part, to redirect an invalid url to a spammy site. The redirection on your computer appears to be a function of where your browser is allowed to go instead, when a link is otherwise invalid.

The root cause of the problem here was that after @Thelegendl23 shared some links on Amazon to various wire harnesses in answer to the question post at the beginning of this thread, Thelegendl23 then thought to copy those same links in answer to another similar question on a different thread, and in so doing, small portions of Thelegendl23's descriptive text became inadvertently incorporated into three of the links, which can be confirmed by the missing descriptive text.

Therefore, everyone should rest assured that there is not a problem with the FTE website.

How anyone's individual device handles invalid or misspelled url links is usually a function of browser settings, which often have safeguards to prevent redirects built into the browser settings, without need for third party pop up blockers.

My sincerest apologies to the OP for this temporary tangent on your thread. Ensuring FTE's site safety, to provide all of our members confidence of the same, is one of our highest priorities.

We didn't mean to get tangled up in your wiring!

Carry on...
