Default Can anyone help with this?

Can anyone do a walk through, or if you have a wiring book, look up the wiring config. for a 67 Mustang for the dash lights and scan it onto the forum? Someone tore into it before me and jacked it all up. I need to know where the wires run to for the dash lights. I don't have the extra 500 and some for a new under the dash wiring kit. Maybe in a few months but not now.

When all of the dash lights don't work it is usually the headlight switch that is at fault. Either the dimmer function fails or the ground is not present.

Can you turn on the interior lights by twisting the headlight switch? If not and the interior lights are installed and work when the door is open, then I would suspect the ground. If you can turn on the interior lights with the switch, then check the power coming out of the switch to the dash lights.

That's good info. The only problem is that I don't see any specific info on dash lights. Here is what I do know. Or know from mine.

When I follow the wire that is supposed to pwr my dash lights there are two. One runs from the dash to the fuse box. The other comes out of the fuse box, and here is where I get all messed up. It runs to a small connector that isn't connected to anything, and with no connector anywhere to connect it to, it has another wire that runs out of it, that seems like it would maybe run to the radio, but I don't have a radio in my car. I tried to bypass this connector with no luck. I need to know where that connector was supposed to connect, how I can bypass it, then where the hell that wire leads too after that. The only power I have coming into my whole cluster is a hot 12v wire. Some of my gauges, like oil pressure, temp, and gas work... kinda. My brights warning light comes on if I am running with my brights on at night.

I know that the cluster is good and WOULD light up because I disconnected it, grounded it then put a power source to it and it all lit up. Just need to solve this wiring dilema. And I know where my problem lays with my brake lights and turn signals, it's in my steering column. Just getting the wires out of it is the only PITA. Ran out of time on monday, but I got it all apart. Just have to pull the wires out of the connector then through the column. Find the bad one. Splice a new one in, and waaahhh laaa. Fixed. And no, these two problems are not related.

Also, check here: http://www.midlife66.com/wiring/wiring.html

There's really good wiring diagrams in the 67MUST.ZIP file.

I've found that if you print them out, they are easier to read than online.

The last link I posted has drawings (with wire colors) showing where everything goes.

That one looks like it might have what I need. What would they label the dash lights as? The instrument panel courtesy lights?

Maybe Ford thought they were being courteous by providing you dash lighting.

zggill04, that's a sharp lookin' Coupe you've got. Your signature reads that your car was Brittany Blue. I may be colorblind, but it looks light grey to me.
