Eckler's wiring kit

Post by nvtrudel »

Hello, has anyone had any problems with the wiring kit supplied by Eckler's ?
I have many unplugged wires at the left front junction block.
Does anyone know how to plug them ?
Thanks

You need to get a) a schematic drawing, available at most T-bird suppliers and on the usual on-line stores, and b) the Electrical Installation Manual, same sources.

Along with the Shop Manual, of course.

Probably a brand x wiring harness LOL

Yes - get the Electrical Installation manual which has all the information you will need. Personally, I like the manual printed by Jim Osborn Reproductions, which you can find on ebay

Be sure you have the correct junction block in the correct location.

And for me, Eckler's is the last place I would look for anything
