im thinking its the rear crash sensor for the airbag, this is from a harness that i got off of ebay, listing said it was out of an 89, but if this is what i think it is then theres no friggin way. im betting this is actually a '90 harness considering that the fuel pump relay is under the seat. if it is what i think it is, is there anyway to make this harness work, or am i fubar?

no thats not a rear air bag sensor. mustangs (fox or s/n cars) dont have sensors in the rear for airbags. it's kinda hard to tell it's so much of a close up. can you take about a 1' distance shot so it's not so close? peace

Air bag equipped Foxes have what are called rear crash sensors, but they are not mounted in the rear of the car they are behind the driver's seat inside the quarter panel.

alright, so its not tied into airbags, but i dont see one of these on my 89's harness, and i can see that the inertia switch is different too.

heres a better pic, it has a part # of f07b-148007-ea, ive tried googling that but no joy.

Are you sure the '8' isn't a 'B'. The base number 14B007 crosses to a rear impact sensor.

it is a b, my bad, was trying to hurry up last night.

so this does have something to do with the airbags then? and this harness wont work with my 89 dash harness? the connections to each other look the same, but the wiring color code is different, and if this is added in somehow, then i dont know what to do.

It has to be a post-89 harness due to the inclusion of an airbag impact sensor and the additional fact that the part number indicates first year use of 1990. As to whether it could be used in place of an 89 harness, I kind of doubt without a lot of modification. The rear impact sensor alone adds five circuits that the 89 wouldn't have.

thats what i figured, guess ill have to start looking for another. im guessing the 87 and 88 harnesses will work too, since they dont have this airbag crap?
