can someone with a ~90 Bronco II do me a huge favor?

Go out and look under your hood, on top of the inner fender near the brake master cylinder. There are four electrical connectors that are all clipped to the inner fender. Are all four of them plugged into something? Specifically the black connector with just two wires (light blue, LB w/ stripe)?

If it is plugged in, where does the end that points toward the firewall go? Does it meet up in the same bundle with the other three?


I just put my BII back together after about 6-8 weeks of being apart - I can't find a plug for this and don't remember if I took one out.

Yeah, that plug is just hanging there with nothing plugged into it on mine also.

That plug is for the Manual transfer case. They plug into the lights so that the dash lights light up if you don't have the push button t-case.

ah, ok. So since I switched to the manual t-case, I could run the wires to that plug instead of up through the floor and splicing into the big dash harness plug that the electric shift module plugged in?

Or are there other missing parts to that circuit as well?

I'm at work, if I was at home I would just go out and try it.

But either way, this eliminates that plug from the equation of why my BII started before I took it apart and now I have to use a screwdriver on the starter solenoid.

Nothing else to wire. Run the two wires from the t-case plug up to the two wires in that connector under the hood. If you leave the old push buttons in there, it will even light up the two circular indicators next to each one of those also.

that's awesome.

With this thing, there's no telling where wires go between point A and point B without just finding out from someone who knows or reading on a forum. From what I hear the speaker wires for the right door speaker are about 15 feet long and make it all the way to the core support before making it back to the door.
