ArdWrknTrk Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Yeah it's c610, so there is not the other end of this harness and it's missing all the eyelets that connect to the starter relay, I watched a guy change a starter relay on YouTube to get a better look at things. Since it's missing a whole section of harness I was looking in junkyards, they have an 86 f150. Would that trucks harness be the same? Thank you for your help If it has an ammeter (instead of just a charge failure light) it should have the other side of the C610 connector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little-known fact is that in '86 Ford finally dropped the idiot lights and all the trucks came with ammeters. So yes, it should work. But, it is a large and long harness, so...

(which is at least effective) And have a charge indicator lamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've looked more than one to see how easy it would be to put a charge indicator lamp in an ammeter hole on the Bullnose gauges, but it wouldn't be easy.

I'd like to thank you guys, I went to the pull a part here in Jacksonville and found the end of c610 connector. Got home cleaned it all up and we have power! I at least have brake lights now, headlights work but previous owners put a 25 amp fuse in there so I swapped it out and it blows as soon as I turn on the lights. So I'll have to figure out whats going on there. I wanted to give an update and a thank you for the help and the site! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is one layer at a time peeling these onions, but pretty soon you'll have enough to have a Bloomin' Onion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling you'll be following a bunch of harness to rectify whatever the previous owner did. It's great you were able to get a good section of harness at the junkyard.
