I have a 1985 F250 with a 460

In the glove box, there is a bundle of 7 wires with a big gray connector (one is red with a yellow stripe?)

What is it for? It looks kind-of like a code reader plug but, isn't it supposed to be by the hood hinge?

 

Is a picture possible?

Is there voltage at the connectors?

What are the colors of the other wires?

 

I'll try and go snap a pic in a few minutes...

first, I'm going to see if there is a way to get email notification when someone responds to me

 

Sorry, to dark for pics tonight. I'll try tomorow...

 

The picture of the wire colors didn't turn out, so I'll have to go wright them down.

Anyone know how to post pics...

I can email them to anyone who wants to look I suppose...

 

Give me about 10 minutes. I have pics and wire colors for you. My old 84 has this same plug in the glove box.

 

Ok wire colors are:

black w/purple tracer
brown
black
red w/pink tracer
green w/lt. green tracer
red w/yellow tracer
brown w/blue tracer

Below are pics of the plug

 

Thats it

Thanks...

 

I can't say for sure cause it has been a long time, but I think there is a buzzer that plugs into it. They are usually mounted behind the glove box. There are a few things that make the buzzer go off so each wire may go to a different curcuit.

headlights left on
seat belt
keys left in ignition

these are few that come to me real quick.

 

It's for the Seat Belt Timer/Warning Buzzer.

 

Great to know...

My uncle has a beater that has the buzzer, I'm gonna go swipe it from his truck next time I'm there....

 

Let me tell ya, it is missing for a reason. Really annoying sound.

Yeah, I've heard it, but I want it still.

I leave the lights on all the time in the truck. I've already replaced the battery once, which I attribute to the battery going dead on a almost daily basis (IE everytime I drive at night)
