    Default 1983 5.0 5 speed wires?

    Just bought this car and I have 6 wires in the engine compartment that come through the firewall near the center. Previous owner just cut them off and I have not been able to determine where they go!! They are white, orange, purple w/blue dashes, yellow w/ red dashes, grey w/black dashes and black with blue dashes. Any help would be welcome.

    P.S. I also have 3 85s an 84 turboGT, and a few later models that do not have this bundle of wires. Even the Capri (1982) that is no help. Closest is a 92 V8 with all the wires gone, but it does have the hole!

    I would recommend posting a picture of the wires and their location. Right now I am having a hard time visualizing any wiring that would come thru the center of the firewall for any of the Four Eyes. I have owned an 83 and don't remember anything like what you describe. It might be old age and memory, but still.

    I just checked my 83 GT, looks like those wires go to cruise control unit located near hood hinge on passenger side. Did your car come with cruise? And is it missing now?

    Seems to be the cruise control stuff. Looks like the previous owner removed a bunch of stuff. Still have several dead end vacuum lines and things dangling under the dash to deal with.
