New guy here , though in my 40 years of legally driving I have run through dozens of Fords and just added my Bronco to the 68 torino and 51 Merc in my garage.

Just got the '74 a couple weeks ago , and am trying to de-cluster the last
owners mickey mouse repairs , which include a half dozen under dash bare wires dangling.
My biggest dilemma at this point is the brake light switch , which is hooked each post by a pink wire ... one of them direct to a flasher. I switched it out for
a new one and replaced the flasher ... no go. I looked in the chiltons book and am not certain of the original leads to and from { I have seen a couple different posts here stating rb & red as the original wires , but noted for a '70 }
All of my lights are working in the rear , so do know the wiring is fine back there . just want to see if the color code wire is the same for the '74 , seeing the post I saw was based on a 1970.

Howdy, and welcome to the site! I found this on line http://www.bronco.com/graphics/diagrams/7374wd6.gif

Hopefully this helps! Personally, I just bought the EZ Wiring kit and ripped all my old PO cobbled stuff out. Of course, I haven't tried to wire it all back up yet...good luck with it!;) You should consider putting up $12 and becoming a contributor so you can post up pictures. There is a ton of great help on here!
