Gary Lewis Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Hey guys, I tried to start a new thread but it wouldn't allow me to. I have an 85 F150 4x4 5.0 EFI. I bought it and it had been sitting in a field for 7 years. Majority of the wiring under the dash is trash, due to rats, not sure that I can even see what goes where to splice wire into it. I got a wiring harness from an 86 f150 with carberated engine from a salvage. Would this be a direct replacement since mine is EFI and the salvaged truck was not?

The dash harness on the 1985/86 trucks is actually a continuous harness, left headlight to right. It passes through the firewall on each side. It should be pretty much the same other than Ford was in the process of changing the wire markings from dashes or dots for the second color to a continuous stripe. The left (driver's) side was built as a somewhat universal harness, essentially it provides battery voltage or a resistance ignition feed. The mating underhood portion is ignition system specific. Good luck with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
