Love the forensics, and yes, I will have a much better piece of mind once I am done...

So here is where the missing wiper relay (another thread) was, and what I did was just remove jumper, put new 6-pin ends on the existing wires, and eliminate the need for the relay. I can always insert one if I so choose later, but with the frequency that I use the wipers, I can park them myself.


Here are a few pictures of the dash installed, all wiring complete except for the rear harness (hanging down on LHS):




You can see the Taurus fan relays attached to the bottom of the glove box.

I'm not a smoker, but need a place to charge up my cell phone!


So on to the rear harness, so I can power the pump! Here is a pic of the disconnected blue wire, and the connection of a 1xx rear harness to a 6xx dash harness. Some wires match, but the turn signal and tank sender wires are different colors, so I had to make sure I didn't cross them.

I am going to cut off the 9-pin connectors and put new ones on, that's todays project. Last night I cleaned up the trunk wiring...

This is before, with a few connections bare....

And after, with everything safe now..
One thing I forgot to mention is that while I had the steering column out, I rebuild it too.

I will take a few additional pics, but here is a picture of the TR-6 column bushings that I replaced. The one one the left was the top one, the one on the right was the bottom. You can see that the right one was melted extensively... wondered why the steering was a bit heavy!! I also replaced the lower steering shaft with one from a later chassis (can't remember which one off the top of my head, but I will get a pic or 2 of that too... getting closer!!
