Yup, agreed. I shall study and become wise Obiwon.

Now all I have to do is find the friggin' wire. I've attempted to locate it on the CD however, I'm coming up short. Any way you could point me in the direction? You'd think I'd understand how to maneuver this CD as many times as I've been on it but, I can't find it for some reason.


Stick with the 20 amp for now, it might be a little on the bog side, but you should be more so worried about a short to ground rather then an overload condition.
Alrighty batman. BACK TO THE BATCAVE!


that is exactly it. Maybe take a look for the group fuse holder from Little Fuse, Pep Boys carries them. It is a nice way to have 4 fuses in a single place. Looks a little better then tons of inline ATO fuse all over the place under the dash.
Herm.....I kinda like the look of ATO fuses laying around everywhere. It adds a 'touch of personality' to the wiring. I'll ponder this a tad more and report back when the moon is proper alignment with a couple of other 'undisclosed' planets.


That is unless this is going to cure you from doing anything else electrical again
Here's the safe bet. YES, THIS HAS TOTALLY CURED ME OF WANTING/NEEDING/DOING further electrical mods. PRAISE GOD... I'M HEEEEELED! I'M HEEEEEEEEEEEEELED!


The other side of C355 is C202 which is in the pass side kick panel. The loom from C355 to C209 is actually 2 loom parts, broke at the kick panel by the fuel inertia switch.
C355 ----> C202 ----> C209 ( headliner hell ).
If you can find C355 in the back, then C202 sould be a no brainer on the pass side kick pannel. Just a thought from saving you the trouble of running the wires front to rear. Less floor you need to tear up If you start looking for C355 in the back, and cannot find it, you needed to take this much apart anyway to run the wire front to rear. Can't hurt and it might actually help.
We could save all this friggin' trouble by ford running the gosh darn #209 connector over to where the pedals are rather than leaving it in the forking headliner. Then I could hook up to #355 (pending it's there) and install a switch... VIOLA, I'd be done. WTF is up with that?

My current plan of action, unless I run across 355 during installation and it intregues me two the point of chasing it around, is to simply run to wires. This will be absolute cake to do as I'll already have the rear plastic (behind the seats), seat belts/plastic pillar, and driver's kick panel off. It's only a matter of pulling two thresholds and maneuvering two 12 guage wires under the driver's seatbelt pillar. Shouldn't be difficult.

Thanks again for all the help...

To find these things, it is the first icon on the toolbar at the top EVTM.
The module number in the list is the section number, then you can page down through them.
Page 151-13 is module 151, the 13th page. Sorry I was switching between the paper copy and my CD, so I short cut it by giving you the page number. If you had both, it would have made more sense, but then again I guess you are not pissing money down the toilet like I am now that you are trying to close on the house
The locator for the C248 connector : EVTM -> Module 151, page 11 ( the pages are marked in the upper left hand corner of the drawing. ).
The pinout for the C248 connector is in module 150, page 12.
( I actually found a typo on my other post, I reversed the page and module number oopps ).

JMC and myself will setup a class and lab on fuses, connectors and relays for those interested in attending.
You must BOYB, and BTTB ( Bring The Teacher Beer )
Professor JMC will be heading the class, I will stand off to the side like Igor in Young Frankenstein ( not to imply the JMC looks like Gene Wilder )

Brad, stick with running the wires yourself down the channel, you are probably better off with it, if you feel better about doing it this way.

Recap time : Let me know what I missed.
If nothing else I played the good post *****, and ran up my count on this one.

Good Luck

Steve

JMC,

I didn't know this was turning into the longest thread posting. I thought that was over in the general section

I almost slit coffee out my nose from reading some of Brad's posts, he creaps up on you and then BAM ! humor. It is a sneak attack humor where mine is more Jerry Lewis type ( Oooo LLLLADDIIEEEE )

I haven't had a chance too look at it as of yet but, I'll let you know when I find everything (including my sanity) and get back with you. Leave a message at the beep.

Sign me up. I can get a group rate right? I might have a couple of other goons along with me so that I don't have to feel like a dumbarse and can ask someone who I forced to help me out...

Brad, stick with running the wires yourself down the channel, you are probably better off with it, if you feel better about doing it this way.
Yeah, that's what I'm going to do. Just seems like it's the most simplistic and I feel fine doing that...

Recap time : Let me know what I missed.

Post *****? Who? Never!!! LOL.. I never would've thought we'd be up above 60 posts on this thread though... Guess that classifies me as an electrical idiot. That or over prepared. *shrugs*

Good Luck
Grassyass... I appreciate it.

Okay...

Problem...

I can't find 248. I have the print out. I realize that I need to tap pin #2 (LB/BK)...

I fished around and didn't find it...

By looking at 151-10, it is showin in coordinate F3 (YOU SANK MY BATTLE SHIP) but, I don't see where it's actually running to. I just can't tell...

Can you edd JOO kate me a little more please? Also, you mentioned 151-11... I can't find that either. Only 10.

pw,

I understand totally but, since this thread's conception, the galleries have been down thus, I haven't been able to up any diagrams, cases of beer, small furry woodland creatures, switch diagrams, buttermilk, or wire colors.

Sorry. I have a slew of stuff sitting on my desk in front of me that is scanned in and/or has been emailed to me but, I can't up them.

Oh yeah sscully/JMC, the planets are nearing alignment but, I'm only going to reveal one of the 8 planets... JUPITER. Consider yourself warned. ROFL

Yeah, I'd definately have to agree with that but, for the right price, all planets are visable. (just remember, I'm buying a house, the extra $ would be handy...)

PS... see above post about 'problem'.

Let me see if I screwed the pooch on it.

The connector pinout is on 150-12 : that you are good with ?

The locator diagram is on 151-11 F#, but you cannot find it n the truck ?

That was my question, if it was upbehind the central junction box or the fuse box.

If you cannot located it behind the kick panel, or behind / above the fuse box, then I don't know what to say ??

2 Ground connections with ring terminals on them, and 2 connectors together make up what is the LARGE loom out from the central junction box. The big loom next to the one that goes through the firewall, and has the plastic D handle on it.

The next place to find circuit 400 is in C509 the switch for the power window connectors.
Connector pinout is on 100-8
Connector locator is on pg 151-14 grid A2 ( LMAO : BattleShip )

My paper manual the 151 section goes to page 21, I have not looked on the CD as of yet.

C509 it is still a Lt-Blue / black stripe wire on pin 2.

You can try to trace this back through the loom in the door hinge area, but I am sure you will get lost in wire loom hell behind the central junction box.

I just took a breif look, and OMG that is a nightmare to try to find stuff back there
You might be better off taking the lead, and fishng it from the door to the insdie via that rubber boot for the loom at the hinge.
( ala the keypad mod for non wired doors )

I'm real glad I'm not trying to find that under there, on second thought my idea of maybe putting in a power slider just went south LOL

This might be a quick way of getting to Circuit 400, if you don't want to continue the quest for it behind the central junction box, just above the fuse block in the truck cab.

It's back in that rats nest.....some where...

Let me know if I got the questions right, and if you can't find this info on the CD. I can either fax the page to you, or take a pitcure of it and email it to you.

I'll check it out tonight. God willing, I'll find it. *prays* Wow do I ever not want to try to fish something in the door... whew... I'd rather piggy-back a fuse.

Thanks.

I was just praying, when I saw that you 'quoted' me on the 'uranus' joke, that you weren't taking me up on seeing 'Uranus' for an undisclosed amount of $... LOL

RP!!!

Please post an address I can send money to so you can have this done by a pro. This thread is killing me, it is becoming the Clark W. Grizzwold wiring project.
