Ignition wiring

David Gagnard · 07-21-1999, 04:00 PM

Trying to rewire my 65 Fastback with Summit's Painless Wire Kit. I have everything wired except the ignition switch. I need to know where each wire went with the color code on the original ignition switch so I can cross reference them to the new wire harness as they are not color coded the same. Any help will be grately appreciated.

These are the connections according to Chilton's wiring diagram for 65 Mustangs.
BLACK-GREEN (Center of switch) To fuse panel, turn signal flasher, constant voltage unit for temp & fuel gauges, and windsheild wiper switch.
BLACK-GREEN (On side of switch) To oil pressure indicator.
YELLOW To fuse panel, main disconnect in firewall, and light switch.
Wires may splice into other colors on the way to these destinations.
Hope this helps. These charts are confusing and not always complete.
Lou.

Lou;

Thanks for the info, I will attempt the wiring again in the morning and this gives me something to check out and refer to. I have six wires coming out of my ignition switch of all different colors and am not sure about the others.
