Ok makes perfect sense and a perfect reason to have a dead spot at WOT. Return pump on a returnless system. Right now I'm in the process of doing the heater core and all that extra that comes with the job. Will run it here soon with a gauge and see what pressure we are running. Thank you kind sir.

98 Explorer returnless fuel system and 98 with return. The injectors are the same between both systems is what I'm gathering.

Yes I'm pulling all fuses and will verify each circuit. It's not really that bad, Ford did a good job coding the wires. I'm almost done with the run to the back then I can run my dash harness which is complete from firewall to passenger side.

Yea ☝ the magic is the Borg Warner t-case. So that's the 4wd plug under the driver seat and yours was plug and play?

Also soldering is a bad idea on wire with age and heat cycles. The reason being it takes heat to flow the solder properly thus fatiguing it even further making it brittle. With the vibrations and movement in a vehicle that wire repair could break.

Case in point. Here we have a low voltage keypad wire in the virgin donor harness. A wire harness that has never been fooled with and as you can see In the picture it's oxidized. So you tin it, crimp it and liquid tape it. My repair will be tucked up high in the kick panel. On the wires under...

Theory on failure. #1 modified relay on the number #11 power distribution feed to under dash relay box. As to why the modification or purpose it served is beyond me. Dealership did "wiring work" because of previous owner complained that her headlights were dim. #2 Ford used an inferior wire that...

Door wiring is done and all I have is one extra wire. A BLK/LT BLU for the light in the door panel that is non existent in my Hi Series. Now on to the run under the driver seat and then to the back.

I'm just going to worry with the plug at a later date. Currently splicing in a replacement body harness to my existing one, just trying to terminate all I can while I have the interior tore apart. The more I tear into this truck the more I find.

☝ Thank you for the nugget of info on the systems and wiring. I've been doing some research and it appears that there is a model specific GEM for my truck but as you say it's irrelevant.

So just a little update. First do not cut your body harness unless you like your head in a vise. 2 16g yellow wires for the mirror circuit, 2 for the keypad circuit, and one for the seatbelt. Mirror circuit runs to the back and back up same as keypad circuit. Easy enough just have to trace and...

Yes it's a 98 5.0 Awd. I have the same diagram but as you said colors don't match up. The mirror is off of a limited.Trying to figure the pinout for this mirror is easy if I could find a picture of the connector itself or a connector diagram.

Working on wiring my truck and I need a clear picture of the wires going into the plug so I can wire this mirror properly. Mirror has heat and puddle lamp. Main issue is the four black wires with a total of seven wires coming out of mirror. I'm guessing the two black wires with stripes splice...

Welcome neighbor. I'm Jeff from Montevallo, Al. Show us some pictures of your X

So I spent the day at PAP and got some goodies. Not one truck with the 5.0 had 4wd and there was three plus four 4.0's. Found a sport with the 4.0 5 speed and awd so I grabbed that GEM just for testing. I got the harness out of a virgin 5.0 2wd Eddie. It was late model 97 and mine is late model...

So I need to put the right one in it for Awd to function properly? Seems like it has been working fine. I plan on sourcing one Tmrw at PAP for kicks. I anticipate spending my day at PAP getting what I need.

Also while digging I found this GEM. Is this even right? Stock truck never touched until now by me. Is there a difference between the 4x2 and awd Gem?

So did some more digging and found out that I'll have to do some splicing. Question is are all harnesses the same between 4.0 and 5.0?. I have a 98 awd 5.0 and hope to find the same harness but just curious about interchangability.

Well got myself in a pickle this Christmas. I was on the way home and noticed my battery gauge drop out, headlights went dim and she started smoking under the dash. I had just came home and was pulling in the drive so I disconected the battery until the a.m. I started probing with my meter and...

No when the truck is running and you stand by the tailpipe or the passenger side you will hear it stumble a little then regain idle. it's kinda like the idle drops off then comes back. But as soon as I get paid I'm going to change the fuel filter and wires. I have new plugs in it. Theay are...

I think I figured it out. Thanks anyway.

Guy at the shop my dad works for said its a power balance issue. :dunno: He said that it could be either spark, gas, or compression related. What do you all think

I have been searching all over the site and I have came up with an IAC needs cleaning and my cat being clogged. So guys tell me what you all think. When my truck is running and standing by the tailpipe it kinda puffs every now and then and the exhaust is really warm almost hot. But other than...

it should be standard. One size fits all. I use one grease gun for my tractor, bobcat, loader and my truck.

I would strip the wire back a little and solder it then heat shrink it. that would be my idea. As for the big hands just make some line up marks for the bolts and remove the door so that you can get to the wiring. My friend here says the best and easiest way is to run a new wire starting where...
