Dash Replacement. Extra Wire

Smithman · 06-27-2005, 12:21 AM

Up until the dash replacement the 82 Mustang 5.0 ran great. While I was exchanging the dash I noticed that a wire had come loose or just fallen off. and I am not sure where it goes and the car rolls but it will not start. It is a thick yellow wire with a small metal clip so I think that it may have fallen out of a harness. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I BELIEVE the big yellow wire feeds +12v to half the dash, and also to the rear window defog. The thick black wire with orange dots feeds the other half the dash. The yellow one definitely should be in a harness somewhere.

When I get home tomorrow, I'll look in my book and see if I can find exactly where that connector is.

Where is this wire in the car?

The wire is in behind the guage cluster.

Would this cause the car not to start?
