Title: Ranchero tail light wire routing
Post by: BWhitmore on 2012-06-04 19:11
Bad memory/no pictures.  How does the wire loom from under the dash route to the rear tailights/license plate lights/gas tank sender?  Does the wire loom run down the middle of the bed and attach to the existing wire brackets?  If so how does the wire cross over to the passenger side tail light?

Thanks for any help.  Bill Whitmore

Bill, the ranchero has a bundle of several wires running right down the transmission tunnel, through the bulkhead behind the seat, then it runs over by the gas gauge sender. I believe it exits the car by the drivers side bumper area through a rubber grommet.Then it tucks up under the tailgate panels, hits the license plate bulbs, then the passenger side light.  Mark

Mark- is the proper opening in the bulkhead oval shaped and in the middle bottom of the bulkhead?  From there the wiring bundle runs down the middle of the lower bed area (under the flat ribbed plate of the bed)  and attaches to factory  installed  wiring loom bracket hold downs? 

Thanks.

Bill, yes it is. And there are several factory installed tabs to clamp or hold the wires. Mark
