I haven't used the Painless Bronco specific harness yet. I have heard good things about the install, flexibility and the options they give for adding accessories. Much better than the old universal Bronco/ Cruiser and Scout harness they used to offer.

I have installed a couple of Centech harnesses and I was very happy with the ease of installation and how they turned out. There was plenty of extra circuits available for add ons and accessories. There were plenty of options to cover various factory changes. It was based on the 72 and later wiring configuration with the fuse panel in the glovebox.

I am in the middle of a Painless Harness install right now on my 69 Bronco. And quite frankly, I wish I weren't. The kit is actually fabulous, and I have all the runs pulled, but at this point, the manual gets a little vague for a newbie like me. Like, exactly where and how do I connect all these ends? Some are easy, like the headlamps, but some are just ends that need to be crimped to another wire that's attached to something. <L> I am really not that much of an airhead. PLZ - Anyone have some good leads for more detailed instructions on this sort of thing?

I have the manual for the painless Bronco harness downloaded. Maybe I can help you. I need to know what colors the wires are, where they are in the harness and what, if any markings or labeling are on them.
