We are actually still looking for an interior harness. We didn't know this one was so hacked when I bought it. Any suggestions? The interior harness is the one which connects to the fuse block (among other things), and runs through the firewall and into the engine bay.You would have been better off in time and money by having swapped in a new ( used) entire harness from a same year car. Sad to say, that is one of the reasons I recommend buying a stock car and then doing what you want to it vs. most of the mustangs out there that are hacked up.
best bet is to contact MPS, look on EBAY or on the classifiedsWe are actually still looking for an interior harness. We didn't know this one was so hacked when I bought it. Any suggestions?

Yes. Our tech is really good at this kind of thing, but he's getting fed up with it because everything is so hacked. I still cannot understand what the other guy was trying to accomplish. I don't think he knew what he was trying to accomplish either.That looks like work.... .no bueno.... ugh
Lemme tell you, that worked out WELL for you. The old owner of this car randomly got rid of wires. Do you know how time consuming it is to figure out 1) that your tests aren't crazy -there's something wrong, 2) what in the world is wrong, 3) oh, there are wires that have been arbitrarily removed, 4) which wires have been removed, 5) where in the harness do removed wires belong [at both ends], 6) now that I know where the wires belong and what they operate how are they connected, 7) wait, is it a missing wire or is the unit/module they are plugged into inoperative, 8) let's play parts trial and error to find out, 10) nope, its a missing wire -back to step 3 and double check.I feel your pain. I have a original 4 cylinder car that 6 months ago had a Turbo LSX/auto drive train in it. Now it's a 5.0 AOD car again. Luckily they used a complete (rusty) 91 lx vert to donate almost everything over. I only had one wire that was hacked (horn wire was cut and used for a trans brake) and the rest appears to work as needed.
Yeah. Its not an easy job un-hacking a car's various wiring harnesses and other systems.Man that sucks. These cars have been neglected too much by jackasses for 20+ years and are just now starting to get the appreciation they need and deserve by us. Maybe in another 5-10 years we will start seeing more and more nice 5.0's on the road after we bang our heads restoring them back to their glory and making them better than they ever were and the value of our vehicles will increase a little once people stop seeing so many hack jobs for sale and driving around.
Agreed. There is no way must ppl could have gotten this notch to work.Dang man that is terrible!! Imagine if the average Joe DIY guy bought that car and was working at home in his own garage. That car would be on CL already being advertised for parts. Good thing you're saving this Notch because I'm not sure many others could have.
Going to be able to fire up the engine soon?
Thanks so much for your reply. Yes, I did locate a source. My tech wants to give it one more shot after we start the car up. Although, the car has put up a good fight against coming to life. The 1st start up: tranny dump. 2nd start up Injector(s) stuck open -raw fuel was coming out the exhaust. Now, its new injectors $$$.Did you ever find a harness? I have an '87 body harness on the shelf that I'd like to get rid of. Not sure if it's compatible or not, someone here would need to chime in. I know that the warning lights are not in the cluster like the later model cars are, but that may not be an issue.
