Okay, so I tore my entire dash apart to change the heater core of my '87 Mustang 4 cyl. When the gage cluster shroud came off, the wires for the hazard switch pulled out of the gray plastic plug. Does any one know which ones go where? I managed to get a pic. of one on ebay but the wires are of totally different colors. My wires and colors are as follows: 1 Wht. with Blk stripe (single) 2 Blk. (joined pair) 3 Blue (single) 4 Blue (joined pair) 5 Org. with blue stripe joined with Wht. with blue stripe 6 Green with orng stripe (joined pair) 7 Orng. with yellow stripe (single) There are 7 total connectors on the switch itself. So none are missing. Which wire goes in in which hole??? ---

I can’t tell you. You should be able to get the info from [alldatadiy.com](http://alldatadiy.com) if you sign up and pay the fee. Look at wiring diagrams and connector information. Your local library might have access to databases. You can also try a Mustang board I am sure someone can help you out there. ---

Your’re tearing out the dashboard without a service manual? Service manuals have wiring diagrams, which is what you need. Go buy a Haynes manual, or get a Ford factory manual. They are worth their weight in gold. ---

I have a Haynes manual, Thank-you. It’s wiring diagrams are VERY basic and show that the wires only connect to a switch, not which pole it connects to. ---

Yeah the wiring diagrams in a Haynes manual are pathetic. I have the factory wiring diagrams for my Fords & if I had an 87 Mustang I could answer you question. What a Haynes manual tries to cover in 5 or 6 pages takes my factory manuals about 150 pages. Example: Just the wiring diagrams for the engine controls on my Ranger covers 4 pages. Which manual do you think gives the detail needed to actually fix electrical problems. See if you can get your hands on the “Electrical & vacuum troubleshooting manual” for an 87 Mustang. It will have the info you need complete with diagrams showing the switch & switch terminals. I got mine for my Ranger/Taurus/Explorer at [helminc.com](http://helminc.com) ---

Thanks for the link. Budget is tight, if this doesn’t work out, I may try the local pick a part place and see if I can get lucky! Or visa versa. ---

Good idea, if you can find one in the bone yard you’ll be good to go. Good luck with it.
