Yep. And IIRC we've pointed out some of the factory electrical info is available on line.I don't look for free manuals or manuals on CD or downloadable. I prefer printed manuals and first editions at that. Much less room for errors being transposed from one format to another, plus you have a BOOK you can put your hands on instead of relying on a computer that may have problems of its own. I just hawk ebay and find a good used manual I can afford. Just my opinion.
Here's a very affordable two volume set in great condition from a seller with perfect feedback.
Service Manuals
And I like Mark, too, but dammit, he came off like we're tryin to give the guy a hard time and that's the exact opposite of what's goin on here.What made me laugh was when he said this is what we are here for. While that's true, "help me, help you".
Also a wiring schematic would have led him to the answer.
I respect your reply Mark, you're one of the most knowledgable level headed on here.

Absolutely. I guess I am just too old school. The first thing I do when I get a vehicle is get a service manual. I ordered the whole set of FIVE for Kitty's 2004 Escape when we bought it new. I also have the full set of FOUR for Gladys and the one for Vixen. I also have one for my little 61 Falcon. I even have one left over from a 65 Coronet I used to have. It's simply a smart thing to do.I know that I am "guilty" of piling on sometimes, I was trying to point out the different ways manuals can save yer bacon.
I just bought the manuals you found for me. Hopefully I won't bother you guys anymore with my repetitive questions. thank you to the people who helped me out.Nobody's givin the guy grief, we're all just trying to help by making the suggestion he get a service manual and I even wen and FOUND him some. Why don't you just get lost?
No, that wasn't my point. Feel free to ask any questions you want. My point was now that you are going to have the service manual, you'll see what a great source of information it is! That was my point. Ask away any time you want!I just bought the manuals you found for me. Hopefully I won't bother you guys anymore with my repetitive questions. thank you to the people who helped me out.

Only the guys that actually work on their car a lot.Does anyone not believe in getting a factory service manual for their car anymore?
FACT.You have no idea how many people ask that same question. If most used the search feature - that answer is there. It’s never about not “helping a brother out.” It about people asking the same question almost daily.
Another FACT.As well as a Service manual, get a parts manual. These things are pushing 60 years old....
Waaa waa waaaaa.I just bought the manuals you found for me. Hopefully I won't bother you guys anymore with my repetitive questions. thank you to the people who helped me out.
My brain had that on fileLmao, how in TF did you come up with that?
We shopped from ads in the back of magazines, bulletin boards, penny pinchers, newspapers, auto traders scouring junkyards and word of mouth. Remember all that? We had nothing "at our fingertips".Only the guys that actually work on their car a lot.
FACT.

You posted crappy pictures of almost the same angle, didn't answer questions that were asked and now play the victim.
Look, man, nobody is paid to help you here. Some do it to help people they will never meet. Don't get all upset when people don't rush to your side especially when you weren't clear enough to begin with.
People have become too addicted to instant responses, instant information. The majority of the members here are from the generation where people worked to get what they have. There was no instant gratification. There was no internet. We had repair manuals, parts clerks, dealership and independent shop mechanics and sometimes magazines to guide us the way.
What you have could be a relay, a reset unit, who the heck knows. Why not unplug it and see if the car operates normally? Chances are it is inoperable and does nothing anyway.
Fixed that for youAnd Henry Ford said, "I'm gonna screw the Dodge Brothers over for being smarter than me with all those parts they make for Ford and the books those parts are listed in"
Thank you for pointing that out. I think I have it fixed.Henry Ford never said that.
To add, the word AND does not belong at the beginning of a sentence....

Well, technically you can put AND at the beginning of a sentence correctly. As long as the word AND is preceded by some of these ......., then it is grammatically correct. But any other time you are 100% correct.Henry Ford never said that.

I remember being in denial that the car was old enough/rare enough/ etc to have to use the big yellow Hemmings - but eventually I did. Yup. Went to dealers with parts managers that had the parts books and would help me out or even let me use them. Took lots of notes and made made sketches. Then with the part number would go through page after page of small print ads. Got a few things that way that I couldn't find by other means.We shopped from ads in the back of magazines
With a '75 Manual there 's at least a couple approaches.If he doesn't know what it's called, what exactly is he supposed to type into the search function to find it?
LOLOnly good Nazi is a dead Nazi......
And that's a wrap........
