2 ground cables hood turn signals 69 Mach 1
« on: January 14, 2014, 12:35:25 PM »
Hi me again,

today i wanted to replace my hood turn signal harness because it had not the original looking insulation.
I bought the harness from Mr. Mustang. I found out that my harness has two ground cables. There is another one which goes to the same spot as the wiper motor ground (see pictures). There are coming some dark green cables from the bulbs and connect to ground. The harness from Mr. Mustang has one ground only (two black cables go to the same spot on the firewall). Im little bit confused now. Any suggestions?

an observation here. i have found wiring from that particular vendor to be not quite accurate in coloring & makeup. i always use wiring from alloy metal products. they have their bad points too but it is the best available in repo form.

+1.  They are the best repro wiring company for Ford, hands down.  Not perfect, but functionally, they are excellent.

Looks like only one ground on the hood turn indicator wire loom

Arrow shows that ground

Here's our 69 Mach1 NJ, Feb. 69 built. All original wiring. Two wires coming from the hood turn signals into one ground.

+1  at least they were consistent on that ;) Looks like the same wiring as the one in my example
