This is GOLD. Thank you. I want more.1989 Mustang Electrical & Vacuum Troubleshooting Manual - Helm Incorporated
Nothing like a factory service manual for taking on wiring issues. The factory EVTM is priceless. Well OK, it cost about $15.....
My experience with AllData is more like No Data. They are good for finding out how many qrts of oil go into a Saab, but that is about it. We have AllData and Identifix here at work and AllData is severely lacking in information.
Update: This car has been quite the challenge. After the 1st start up attempt it was observed that the T5 was basically a box of rocks. It got rebuilt. Then, after the 2nd start up attempt it was observed that one or more of the fuel injectors were stuck open. Raw fuel was gushing out of the tail pipe. So, the new injectors arrived (Accel 24lb units):
We repaired the car's many wiring & vacuum woes enough to achieve start up & break-in. Once these new units are installed we will do just that. Afterward, we will see what other accessories, etc still have wiring concerns and take it from there. Considering that the budget has been blown sky-high the car may need to retain its jacked up paint job for awhile.
This may be the most mechanically sound ugly Fox on the road! It's practically a 2015 1990 Notch at this point.
Send me a link, please. That's one competition I don't mind loosing! =)you obviously haven't read Scott orJeff's threads...lol
They have you way beat on time and money my friend.

Ok, thanks. Yes, all of them have me beat. This project of mine would've been pretty easy if it weren't for all the hidden "treasures" the past owner didn't tell me about.look up the how to spend 4 years and $40K thread and my never ending 89 thread
Scott probably has north of $50k in his car. Jeff probably $20k in the last 6 months. I'm not even going to guess with Nick @84Ttop

A roller is one thing. An object of frustrated hackery is quite another.
But I don't want the cake! lol.I'd have to say after reading Scotts and Jeffs threads that they didn't have the hackery you are going through although Scott (4 years and 40k) rewired his entire car himself but he did start with a clean well running vehicle before the undertaking started. Jeffs build thread I think has been a misery of modifications and/or engine building not working out successfully or just having bad luck in the never ending search of "enough" HP. He has however gotten to enjoy driving his car for lengths of time but not sure it's ever been running at 100%.
Your car gets the cake for a current hack build. Mine wasn't nearly as bad although this weekend was my first attempt to start the car and my coil and FPR are shot and are on order. Hopefully there won't be anymore hurdles getting it running.
Gr8! Thanks. I'll check it out.Have you been here yet?
Mustang FAQ - Wiring & Engine Info
Most of the wiring info for all foxes by year. Plus other useful stuff
Ok, we are using the website at the moment. However, there is no information for the specific harness I was looking for. =(
Thanks man. Its been brutal. We will still have wiring issues after we get it running. We just fixed enough to get the car started then see what's up from there. However, the key part of the plan is to GET THE CAR STARTED.Dang I thought I was having a rough time getting mine started but man you are having some bad luck. Keep your head up bro! Hope you get to burn those rear tires after reassembly.
