’83 Bronco Tailgate Window Wires

After using a demo saw to finally remove the hitch-mount salt spreader, I was finally able to start investigating my Bronco’s issue with a stuck tailgate window. It’s looking like the sheathing for the driver side tailgate support cable dried out and split, exposing sharp edges. These sharp edges look to have sliced up the window wiring protective cover and the wire insulation, and the wires are badly rusted where the insulation was damaged. Would anyone know what gauge these wires are? I’d…

Headlight Bezel and Retainer Screws

I installed new headlights in my ’83 and found the screws for the bezels and retainers to be in fairly bad shape (had to throw out a few that got their heads stripped too easily). So, I was thinking that I ought to replace them. I was thinking to get either stainless steel of black oxide coated, but I’m not sure exactly what size screws these are. Can anyone tell me what size screws these all are and if they’re available in stainless or black oxide?

Starter Solenoid Wire

So, looking over my ’83, trying reconnect the starting circuit, I noticed that I cannot find the wire that’s supposed to activate the solenoid. In checking some diagrams, I understand that it should be a red/blue wire, but I can’t find it. And I don’t see any wires laying nearby that appear appropriate. So, before I make an attempt at running a new wire from ignition switch, can anyone guide me to where I should look for it, to trace its path? I figure I’ll likely need to wash some wires to…

New Addition to my Fleet

Just picked up this 1983 Bronco 4×4. Came with a 8′ plow and salt spreader, too. Has a 351W, and looking under the hood can see that it’s had some stuff done. Looks to have a standard carb in it, maybe a 2150 (all the emissions wiring just sitting there unplugged), and has Edelbrock valve covers. Sounds pretty damned mean, too.

It has a couple issues that need to be resolved before driving it around more. Waiting for a somewhat warmer day before investigating because it’s below freezing…

Fan comes on when I open door

I just purchased a brand new (11 miles) Ford Bronco. After sitting overnight, whenever I open the driver’s door the electric radiator fan runs thru the same high/low cycle reported previously here. This lasts for over 3 minutes and 10+ cycles. Called 3 dealership services departments and they had not heard of this. They are to reach out to the ford rep. I’ll keep you posted

1996 Bronco XL 5.8L

My engine light came on when headed to work, so I plugged a puter in to look at live data. I seen it trying to change out of the closed loop to open. It showed oldrive. And it would go back in cl. Not sure what temp it changes at but it was running around 170F. Not sure what happened. If anyone knows I would love to here it.

Can I use floor parts from a 92 f150 in my 1996 bronco

As the title says are the rocker panels and floor panels and maybe corners all the same on the 92 f150 and the 96 bronco? I need some floor panel parts and have a great deal If I can steal them from a 92 f150. Wondering if anything would all transfer to my bronco project

FordPass Issue/Question

Hello all!
I have an occasional issue using my FordPass and hope to maybe find an answer here…

I would say 75% of the time after I use my iPhone to start my Bronco the app stalls on the screen to ‘STOP’ the vehicle instead of reverting back to ‘START’.
Only way I have found to fix the issue is to reset my phone which has become annoying!
Has anyone else had this same issue or know a trick to fix it?

Thanks in advance
