Electrical Connectors

I dont know enough myself to say that the color of the connector means much. More important than the connector color is the wire color or colors, in my opinion. The base color plus the strip, if it has one, is what is going to help you track down specific wires and help you trouble shoot. There are lots of great wiring diagrams on the site and the web that tell you what everything means. Different year models sometimes use different color wires for the same application. Maybe if you post a pick of the connector in question you'll get more answers.

You probably knew all that, but just in case you didn't....

Be warned that this is almost the blind leading the blind here!

Is the other end gone or in bad shape? You said you were going to need one soon.

Ford books list maybe five colors.

Do any of these look like they would fit? I don't think the color really means much. If you cant find a replacement you could always get a new male and female connector and replace both connection points. I understand if you are trying to keep it all original and don't want to butcher it up, but if done right you and true mustang gods would be the only ones to know.

In the pic is that the one you need to replace for the trunk release or just a similar connector?

On my car, as best as I can remember, a connector that looks almost exactly like that except gray hooks up directly to the back of the hatch release button. I don't remember seeing a connector like that behind the drivers side kick panel. Mine is a 92.

Another option is to try to find one at a local mustang shop/salvage yard. I know of a couple of places down here in south Alabama that specialize in salvage mustang parts. I can hook you up with there contact information if you want it.
