that's it

I'm to the portion of my manual describing dash label lights. Does any one have any good pictures of the front and the back of one of these (maybe without the connector installed) that they would let me use in my instruction manual? Rob's '71 obviously didn't have them. These was one posted in this thread but the lighting in the picture is really bright and no matter how I adjust the brightness and contrast of it, I just can't get it to clear up any.

Should start a new thread about this, I have several service manuals related to the Broncos. It would be interesting to see what others have.

Check out what broncosport found! The old '66 to '73 version! Man, that brings back memories.

Eric,

Did you get the pictures you need? I have my dash mostly apart and should be able to get some pics . . .

I haven't gotten any pictures. Any pictures I could get are certainly a help. It's really hard trying to write an informative connection procedure to something you've never actually seen. On a positive note, I did identify the factory terminal Ford used on the dash label lights. I've got a company trying to identify the connector. At the least my harness will at least have the terminals that will allow the factory connector to be reused instead of having to splice to the factory wires to make thiose connections.

Eric,

I'll try to take some pics tomorrow. If I can, I'll get picks from the back side of the dash and of just the connections on the light units and the harness plugs.

That would be great thanks!

These pics are from my 77s.. Are these the ones that you need?

I took a pic of one set of dash lights but they both have the same type of connection and plugs..

rwm01 · Aug 30, 2008

Eric,

These didn't turn out as well as I hoped.
I'll "recruit" some help and retake these tomorrow.

Bob

(I'll move that "other harness" out of the next pictures . . . %) )

eric0o1 · Aug 31, 2008

Thank you both!!! Those are exactly what I needed. Bob, with the pictures you and Honorio posted, I'm pretty sure no other pictures would be needed.

Just a small update, writting is still going full steam ahaead. I'm at page 58 and have yet to cover any wiring from the firewall forward. I don't think anyone is ever going to complain about not enough information with this Bronco manual. I think with this project I've fully realized it's better to have information you don't need ,than to have to search else where for the information you do need. Hopefully this manual will save some of you guys as much time as it's taken to write.

I hit another wall first thing this morning when writing instructions on Washer Pump connections. My harness has the connector for the Pump found on the electric wiper systems and fits most other Ford pumps as well. However, I can't find anything showing any kind of picture of the pump found on the early style wiper systems. I've got a page from the 1967 service manual that shows a flat connector, but I can't find any photos or anything of this connector. Does any one have a picture of this connector or the pump for that matter? I need to figure out if I have the factory terminal in stock, or if I need to instruct the installer to splice the original connector to the harness.

73stallion · Sep 10, 2008

didn't the '67 have a separate button on the dash for washer? i know the '66 had a foot pump.

Baja71 · Sep 10, 2008

Is this the connector that comes on the new harness?

eric0o1 · Sep 11, 2008

YEP...thats the connector I put on the harness. However, those with a washer button on the dash will only connect the power wire as the Washer pump on those models appears to be self grounding. I need a picture so I can instruct them on how to reuse their factory connector, either by splicing to it or maybe supplying then with a new terminal. There's a good possibility that I may even have the factory connector already in stock. Untill I can see one, i just gave instructions on how to splice to their factory connector.

Yo Eric, you need to make it to OCBR this year...

eric0o1 · Sep 11, 2008

I won't be able to make it, but I do plan on sending some stuff with Rob.
