My new project came Tuesday, and well it is a project. It had 2 ignition switches, one in the dash that had a key jammed into it, and one hanging down that started it with a screwdriver. It is a 69 GH truck.FORDification wrote:
This is a side-by-side comparison of the three different ignition switch styles used in Ford pickups during the '67-'72 era. On the left is the '67-only switch, which utilized a single hot stud which protruded through the push-on connector, which in turn was held on with a small nut. In the middle is an example of a '68-'70 ignition switch, in which the harness connector was pushed onto bullet-style connections. The '71-'72 version on the right, introduced in mid-'70, utilized a similar style but used spade-type connectors.
I am trying to track down what wires for the ignition switch went, and did a search and came up with this. Looks like I have a 67 style (far left). In the picture above, and that switch must have had some problems also, as I had 3 hot terminals with the switch off.
The middle was a hot, Powered.
Then the ignition wire that caused it to crank, was in the right place.
The other wires (group of 3 connected together) were hot all the time, that I assume should have only been hot when the switch was on,
There also was another hot wire running to the remaining terminal inside the plastic ridge.
The one on the outside of the plastic ridge do nothing, even when I put a hot wire to them.
I now added a universal switch to it to get it around, and it starts and runs, and everything is operating, BUT I have 2 wires that were outside the ridge, that I don’t know what to do with, and wondered why I have a hot wire that ran to the switch, that makes no sense on what it should do.
Thanks
