Dash Wiring....Can anybody help me out?

ram360 · 09-30-2003

I'm in the process of converting my 83 interior to a 91. I have the dash harness itself and as some of you know it's full of a connectors. Anybody have a diagram listing where all the connectors belong? I did searches and the only thing I could find was engine harness diagrams but not none for the dash itself. IMO that waaay less complicated than the dash harness. Thanks guys!

Oh yeah since I'm a newbie. Here's a link to my website w/ some pics of my stang.

Nice 'stang! What would you have to have for those GT-40P headers? Sorry I can't help you with the wiring problem.

I put a 93 interior in my 91 GT and it was a pain in the ass. I used the Haynes Repair Manual for wiring diagrams. I don't know if it will help, but you can pick one up at Discount or Advanced Auto Parts. It did the job for me.

I have the Haynes Manual but it doesn't help my particular application (seems to me that I have a modified 87+ harness w/ 83 dash connectors. I decided on just find another harness out of some other stang and put it in my car (I'll never be able to make any sense of this one considering I didn't modify it in the first place). It will probably save me plenty of headaches in the long run.

BTW why did you go from a 91 to 93 interior? 87-93 are identical (maybe I'm wrong). It should have bolted right in. I know in my application I had to install a new heater box as well as cut off mounting brackets in my 83 to fit the new dash.

I switched because of color. My interior was red and everytime I saw it, it pissed me off. It was an awful 1980s style red. I switched to a gray/black interior. I mainly used the manual because it was a weekend project and sometimes I needed a little reminder of what I was looking at.

Also, before the switch, my wipers and turn signals didn't work, so while I had the dash out, I played around with the wiring to figure out what was going on.

The switch was easy, I just used the diagram for the faulty parts (wipers/turn signals). I chose the 93 because it was the only complete interior I found near me (save on shipping).

I was lucky enought to find the grey/black dash for mine too. However I ended up w/ a porno red console from an 88. I just bought some plasti kote vinyl paint and sprayed the entire thing black. Honestly, you wouldn't know it was painted.

Wilkes-Barre / Scranton. I'll get back to you on the p headers (I'll have to find them again! ) I have so many stang parts in the garage it's not even funny! I'll take some pics of them too!

Cool...I got my stock headers on now. Amazing what a big hammer and a MAP torch can do!
