dash wiring

Post by oldyeller69 »

hi i have a 69 f-250 cs none of the gauges work and none of the lights work. i have the dash out and was wondering is there any way to test the lights by hooking up the plug in to a power supply and i know the ivr is probably bad because the fuse is good(power to both sides)and the ground wire is good i just need a wiring diagram of the dash the one in the tech section doesn't have a diagram of the big plug in.eventually i will rewire the whole thing because the p.o. liked to experoment he thought he was a genious he isn't . i've rewired most of the engine now and it runs and charges at 14.7v at idle the next step is electronic ign.(duraspark 1) makes it easier to start in the winter,and the dash,then the wipers,then the turn sig switch because the wire broke off right at the switch i said a few not so nice words,and cussed out old henry,oh well its a old abused truck and i just got it back after loaning to my friend for a few years.he switched it from a colum shift to a floor switch and the linkage is tfu. it is a good truck just needs a little tlc. any help with the pinout giude on the dash would be appriated. :thup: :roll:

Try these:

If you sort of put them together, you should have most of the picture.

If you energize "19", looks like the lights should work.

I'm guessing "30" powers the IVR - But, that's using the process of elimination.

You should verify both of the above to your satisfaction.

Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in garages. (Apologies to Kenneth Grahame.)
