Oh the joy of owning a fox mustang, soon this car will be all 2008 parts in an 87 shell
Anyways, I decided to do the GT foglight fix (corral) because it seemed easy to follow and I am by no means an electrical guru.
Prior to this, obviously foglights weren't working, headlights, parking lamps, taillights and all that worked. When I begun taking things apart the previous owner had cut one of the brown wires from the headlight harness (6-pin) and spliced it with the light/blue black wire from the foglight harness *shrug*. I got rid of this mystery and soldered the brown wire back together by itself. I suck at soldering and this was a tricky location to solder, so including this info incase it makes a differance. I installed the relay and inline fuse, double checked that everything was connected as in the instructions, and voila! no foglights or headlights, parking lamps/sidemarkers worked but no turn signal flash, and flash to pass was the only way to get the h/l on.
I searched various threads on here and it sounded like my problem was between the headlight and multifunction switches (r/y wire). Started doing some testing, voltage was ok throught the headlight switch, and the r/y wire at the m/f switch had 12volts. There is no voltage at the r/blk and grn/blk wires of the m/f switch, nor at the foglight harness (though it has been altered and my testing directions assume it's still in stock form). Also, the multifunction harness connector is fairly burnt at the red/blk and grn/blk terminals. Before I shell out $120 for a multifunction switch/turn signal stalk, is my problem really just the harness connector being melted? I would try the harness connector first, however the only place I found one was Rockauto with a 12 business day 'non-stocked item' shipping delay (the local parts stores didn't carry or never heard of it). I was planning to take the car on vacation before that.
Is there any other testing I can do to eliminate the m/f switch or harness as being faulty, or conlcude they are both faulty? With 12v indicated at the r/y wire here I'm thinking the harness still functions, on the other hand my wipers still work and so does FTP so it makes me think the m/f switch still functions.
sigh...
