I've collected a lot of bronco factory wiring info over the years and would like to share the wealth. These circuits are for 75+ but almost all colors are the same for earlier years. These are real helpful for troubleshooting.

These diagrams are also 75+ but the same rules apply, most years are similar with the exception of the breakerless ignition. The connector diagrams are really helpful when used with the above chart.

Cool info. Do you have the list of wires in a pdf or word file format so i can just copy the file to my Bronco Info files? Love the info but i gotta say that SeaBiscuit68 tops the wiring diagrams because he graciously color coded the diagrams and I will forever be grateful. Your wiring list would make my tech library more complete. Thanks for your efforts too.

I have it in excel but can do word or adobe. I just don't have a means to post it here. PM me your email address and I'll send it to you in the format of your choice.

Excellent resource Viperwolf. Thanks. I know you pull stuff out of those diagrams for us quite often, so now we can bookmark this thread and access them direcly. You pay, we play.
I especially like some of the additional details like pin orientations and switch layouts.
Thanks again.

Excellent stuff Phil.
Thanks!
I've often wondered what the pin-out was on a lot of the switches.
What's your source?
I printed the pics, but not clear enough, can you email the pdf to me?
I'm going to laminate them

They're in the mail Mark. They are from my 75 Ford truck wiring manual. It came with my bronco 17 years ago.

That is great to have. I notice that you answer electrical tech. Q's very quickly. You made a cheat sheet. ;D Thanks for sharing.
