Shizimp Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I'm looking for a fuse box wire harness that will work for a 1986 f150. It needs to come from a truck that has A/C, power windows & door locks. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Welcome to the forum. Hope someone has what you are looking for. However, in the email I just sent you were specifically requested to "go to the New Members Start Here folder, read the guidelines, and then start a new thread/topic in that folder about yourself and your truck." The intent there is to ensure you've had an opportunity to read the guidelines, which all members will be held to. So please go do that and tell us a bit about yourself - in the New Members Start Here folder. That way at least you've been on the page where the guidelines are. Meanwhile, maybe someone has what you are needing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salans7 Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 For what it's worth, I used the fuse box from a 1990 F350. The actual box is the same from 1980-1991, they're just mounted differently in 87-91. I found that the large majority of the wiring colors were the same with the same functions. If you cannot find what you need in an 80-86, you do have the 87-91 option if you're not afraid of splicing wiring and/or switching out each terminal one by one which is the way I did it.

kramttocs Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Don't worry about limiting your search by power windows/locks. That is a separate harness with some push in fuse retaining blocks. If you find a truck with all of it, great but don't turn one away just for missing those. Now 'fuse box wire harness'. What exactly are you looking for and how much of it? That whole harness is big - includes a lot of stuff across the dash and through the firewall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had an electrical fire; basically all of the wiring behind the dash needs to be replaced. With that clarification; don't I need to find one with auto windows/doors?

Thanks for this salan7. Honestly I'm not doing the work, my mechanic is; and while he agrees this would work, the labor would end up costing me!

Yes, the 'across the dash' and fuse box wiring for the windows/locks is likely shot with the rest. I just wanted to let you know that it is separate and can be found/added later if needed.
