New tail light kit (housing, bulbs, chrome, etc.) First off, the car starts fine, runs fine, lights work, brights work, tail lights work, reverse lights work, parking lamps work, horn works. So I have been doing a lot of work on my car the past 6 weeks and I have a wiring haywire somewhere. If you have such a switch, the last two pictures will show you the locations of the wires on a Ford switch. I don't know why anyone would do such a thing unless it had something to do with cheap, but, that was what they did. There are some aftermarket turn signal switches with wires that don't really match the colors of the Ford switches. What the switch itself has is one yellow wire bringing power in for the horns, one green wire bringing power in from the brake light switch, one blue wire bringing power in from the flasher, one blue/yellow wire taking power out to the horns, one white/blue wire taking power out to the right front turn signal and right dash indicator, one green/white wire taking power out to the left front turn signal and left dash indicator, one orange/blue wire taking power to the right rear turn signal and brake light, and one green/orange wire taking power to the left rear turn signal and brake light, with the last two being that two-wire connector. If you look at the 6-wire connector that the turn signal switch plugs into, you will see two white/blue wires coming out of the place where the one white/blue wire goes in, with the same thing happening at the place the one green/white wire goes in. There is only one green wire with a white stripe coming out of the turn signal switch. There is actually only one white wire with a blue stripe coming out of the turn signal switch, with the same thing happening with wires 2 and 7, which are green with a white stripe. Wires 1 and 8 are both white with a blue stripe. I drew it like this, oddly enough, for the sake of clarity, so that one can clearly see what each wire is doing. In the wiring diagram, you will notice what appears to be some extra wires. Just good, solid advice from people that know what they are talking about. None of that ridiculous one-upmanship, no flaming or abuse, none of that stuff. well, you probably need to try that." " I tried that and it helped, but it still isn't quite right." "Now you need to try this." If you go to and then go to the classics forums, you will be able to do that with a pretty hefty gathering of some very knowledgeable people that also happen to be very friendly. Some problems require a little bit of back and forth, as in, "Try this." "I tried that and it didn't change anything." " Oh. These are the people that I am trying help out with this blog. They don't want to re-engineer the entire car, they just want someone to fix what broke. They take their car to some technician when what they actually need is a mechanic, and this, frequently, does not work out very well at all for the owner. And I think, truth be told, that this is by far the largest class of Mustang owners. They just want this car that they dearly love to be able to cruise around smoothly and reliably, without having it dump them out on the side of the road or have it start making weird noises or belching out big clouds of funky-smelling smoke. show car that is so nice and was soooo expensive that they're afraid to drive it, they also don't want to make their car capable of achieving warp factor three. There is a very large class of people that own 65/66 Mustangs that, as far as I can tell, anyway, have been, for the most part, ignored entirely.
