Greetings!
I just did tsolo's brake lamp switch swap, and gotta say that it went well! Tight quarters.....but job done.
However, I do have questions about the wad of unused wires that was stuffed behind my brake booster!!! I searched SO Bills drawings to no avail and I can't recall if I had the full sized drawing anywhere.........brain fade.... so here goes!
I actually found that the Black and White wires belong(ed) to the washer pump motor. The smaller red and red/black stripe are the brake light switch wires are not seen in the picture as I had already pulled them back into the cabin...
There is a pair of larger RED and a RED/Black Hash markings that were shorted together. What device were/are these for that would have been up front?
The last two wires is a pair of pink wires. One slightly larger gauge wire. These two are crimped together on to a female spade clip and not connected to anything. I believe they were intended to be connected to the brake like junction block (via SOBills drawing), for the shuttle "fail" light feature. BUTT, the switch on the junction block is the stock Ford (67-70+ Mustang) part with two "pin" connections on it...and used a special two pin connector, not spades....
I don't ever recall anyone saying that this feature (brake system failure) ever was implemented??? ...no one complaining about how to reset the displaced shuttle shaft due to a front or rear circuit failing which is a very common discussion on just about every Ford based forum site!
Just looking to know what's what!
Thanks!
Steve
