I realized I started posting these in the show n tell thread. So I am starting a new thread for my wiring questions. Background: 1985 Mustang that already had a 3g conversion when I bought it.
My first question is when I started unwinding loom and looking at my wiring, I noticed that the only thing attached to the solenoid, other than the starter and battery is the green fusible link 14 gauge. SO, that would seem to me that EVERYTHING in the car is fed from that...which doesn't seem possible, but I guess an 85 with carb and only power windows and rear defrost doesn't draw much, or they only expected electrical stuff to be used when the car is running and the electrical is supplied by the alt.
My plan is to add an SN95 underhood fuse distribution block and run all the circuits currently on fusible links to the appropriate fuse in the fuse center. I also want to get rid of the TSAD and associated wiring.
I took some pictures of my confusion and have one item I am trying to identify.
What's this? Looks like some kind of diode? Noise suppressor?
Here's the green wire on the bottom post of the solenoid.
Here's the alt battery wire black with orange stripe spliced to the black/brown wire. There's no regulator on the car at all, so it was all removed and rewired when the 3g was installed.
The green fusible link goes and gets spliced to a small (18-20ga) red wire and a larger yellow wire that runs back down and there are many more splices tying them all together.
Here are these other splices...this is the harness running down the strut tower near the battery.
If anyone can help decipher, I would appreciate it!
