AOD question

[Tulsa76bronco]

Can anyone explain to me where the neutral safety wire and the reverse switch in my harness connect to my AOD. They were not connected at all when I started

On the driver's side of the transmission find where the linkage goes through the case.
Directly above that (maybe 4" or so straight up) is the switch that should have 4 wires going to it. That is the reverse and nuetral start switchs.

like this.

This shows all types of '80-00 switch, looking into their harness connectors:

Is this it

Is that it in the back ground and if so can I just wrench it off? Will I need to get a new one to screw back on as I said nothing was hooked up before

 

[Broncobowsher]

That is it. Generally don't go bad. You just need the plug that goes on it.

Any idea where I can get the pigtail

 

[Broncobowsher]

Don't know of a source of new ones. Junkyard should get you a good used one. Ford put a lot of AODs in a lot of cars and trucks in the 80's and early 90's.

Ok I'll check those thanks

Or you can make your own out of a Weatherpack 4-wire connector.
I'm assuming that you only need the NSS and backup lamp functions? If so you only need the two Black w/red wires, and the two Red w/blue wires anyway.

I even do that Weatherpack conversion on stock C4's when doing the whole chassis re-wire. Nothing wrong with the stock ones of course, but the new ones look and work even better.
The down side is that you have to do it anytime you change the switch. But even with the old C4 variety, they don't fail that often.

Summit sales one but I thought it was a little cheaper.

Napa has the pigtAil for a zf and a m5od so they may have one for aod

I have not yet found the WPT number for the AOD PNP. It's not in the '04 WPT manual. If you find it, please post it here.
