Kevin TEACH Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Hello New member from Minnesota here. I just picked up a 1986 F250 Lariat with a rebuilt 460 and as a bonus came with a gooseneck dovetail flatbed trailer. The wiring is a mess previous owner has wires spliced and cobbled together everywhere. Looking for info to get this sorted out and make a road worthy truck again. Also have a 1979 Bronco I've had since high school (graduated in 1991) that I plan to fix up. Thanks for the add to the group! Here is a youtube video picking up the trailer.

ArdWrknTrk Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Welcome Kevin! I guess you got the picture thing worked out. There is a tutorial in the faq's. This forum does not read metadata, so you need to save your pic's in the correct orientation. I'm sure some of us can help you with your wiring. You will find the Electrical and Vacuum Troubleshooting Manual under: Documentation/electrical/evtm's/1986 EVTM. Gary has them broken out pretty much by chapter. Note that all grounds are shown in the front, and there's test procedures at the end of each chapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
