YOUR MUSTANGS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Like most cars, your Mustangs electrical system consists of a
primary and secondary system. The primary system is
everything related to the engines starting and ignition system.
The secondarysystem consists of all wiring for headlights,
tailights, and interior lights. Refer to the wiring diagram books
that we sell. Also, pick up a (Repro) Shop Manual . After
studying the schematics for some time, youll easily understand
how everything works. We have grouped this section by specific
areas (starting, charging, interior, headlights, tailights and
wiring looms), to help you find what you may need.
Note: 12 volt negative ground means that your Mustangs frame
and metal body is the negative side of the electrical system. The
wiring in your car carries the positive side to lights, etc.
BATTERY HINTS
When replacing the battery, wear safety goggles,
and make sure the ignition is in the off position.
Keep flame and sparks away. When picking up the
battery, avoid pressing on sides, as it may force
gas and/or acid from the top. Replace clean cable ends, before
installing your new battery. Be sure cables are properly oriented
positive (+) and negative (-). On 64-73 Mustangs, the positive cable is
mounted between the positive battery terminal and solenoid, and is
usually shorter. The negative cable goes from the battery (neg) to the
engine block (ground).
Note: Most dead batteries that fail to start on a cold morning, many
times is actually because of dirty battery terminals and cable ends.
