1974 LTD Country Squire taillight connection

Hi OldFox,
Yes I know. I plan to remove all these connectors. I think that wires directly welded on the bulbs is a problem also! But I wait to receive the sockets of bulbs to redo as the original diagram.

 

Bullet, the last diagram I posted also includes the stop lights. You just have to look in the middle of the two pages

 

Thank you for all photos. For the diagram, I have seen for the stop lights but it is specified for SEDAN! Do you think it is right for Wagon too?

 

I believe that it shows the sedan wiring next to the wagon circut. I'll double check the book. If I find something else I'll post it!

 

Ok, thank you!

 

Hey Bullitt, Here is a scan of the center of the page. It shows both wagon and Sedan. You can see the page easier on this copy. Hopefully this helps.

 

The basic difference between the sedan and the wagon is where they place the grounds for the wagon lights.

 

! Thank you.

 

Today, I received my package from USA with 6 bulb sockets, a spring compressor tool and front/rear heavy duty shocks. I can start the restoration of the harness. Then, I have also to change all control arm bushings. I will post some pics step by step.

 

Sounds like good progress! Keep it up!

 

That's it! The electrical beam is restored and it works like the original!


I don't understand why the previous owner did it!


Thank you Supergordo for your help!!:2_thumbs_up_-_anima

I have just a little question about the turn lights frequency. I'm not sure but I think that they are a pretty quick.

 

Looking good!
If you have a fast turn signal, make sure all the bulbs are working correctly. If one is burned out or not making a good connection it'll blink quickly. It's a simple thing, but a good place to start.

 

Hi Supergordo,
As I said, I'm not sure! However, the right and left blink signal are identical. But, as I haven't another LTD for the comparison, I don't know if it's the right speed of blink. As you said about state of bulbs and so on ... all is OK!
I'll try to post a video and you'll see.

 

Were the blinkers fast blinking before you made your repairs?
