the wiring diagram for the 89 mx6/626 - Page 2

dddibley · 1-19-08, 17:30

Hi all..

Sister just gave me a 89 MX6 as a project car (second owner). Very well maintained, but enough fiddly bits to drive anyone crazy.

Question: Was wondering why the flasher unit has 7 prongs? Haynes manual shows single flasher wiring (3 prong)..

GY in to flasher.. GR out to signal switch.. B ground
GB from switch to left signals.. GW to right

Anyway.. right side isn't working for signal or hazard (flasher unit is clicking fast, left is normal and functions properly). No voltage to right side bulbs (theyre ok). Has to be the switch or open connector?. Color code confirmation would be most helpful. A picture would be sweet

Any info appreciated.. Thanks.

HEY DDD! Welcome to a great community. A word of advice from one old dude to another, it's best to begin a new thread with your question instead of appending your question onto another post, even if they are related. You can go ahead and append if you want, but don't expect folks to answer it. Post what you need to know, and I can take a look in my factory service manual (fsm) when I get home. If you gunna be doing much 'fiddling with your new toy I would get hold of a fsm as quickly as possible. You can also get the Ford Probe FSM which will give you the same info. GL to yas!

Thanks for the heads up Jean-Luc

Didn't want to start a new thread and do the 'OMG another turn signal noob' routine. Suspect I'll have plenty of opportunity to embarass myself later.. there's a good chance I'll be here a while.

Found a pic on the site (turnsig.jpg) that looks more accurate. fuse -> switch -> flasher -> lights. The wire codes are a bit hazy but I should be able to figure it out and test the switch from the fuse/flasher panels without having to disassemble the column. Lots of good info regarding grounding and such too.

Thanks to whoever linked the jpg. I saved it couldn't find it again on the site. A new sticky maybe? It helped a lot. Chances are it's the flasher.. but this is way more fun.

Does it have a pic of the wiring harnesses and numbered grounding points?

Hi allmazda..

Pic i have is a photo of a wiring schematic.. although there was another that had ground points and such. 94_mx6_signal_lights.pdf looks promising. Sorry.. can't find the links now but they were from a 'flasher' search. (long). i'll post if i find them again

ddd

double post.. i hate when i do that :P

Here's a scan from my '89 MX6 WSM for the turn-hazard flasher-horn-high mounted stop light. This page was had separated itself from the rest of the book, so it was an easy scan. I can probably get the adjoining pages with connector info if needed. It also gave me an opportunity to play around with Ubuntu Linux and images.

I hope it helps. Enjoy!

do you mean this?

dddibley · 1-20-08, 12:25

Thanks very much for the scan doorunrun.. nice to have accurate info. The 94_mx6_signal_lights.pdf file has a troubleshooting section which will help a lot too.

1 down... 4 to go.. for now.

I really need to get a WSM. :P

I dig those pix of compnut21, they have color! My little WSM does not and it can be a pain tracing the harness on the small drawings.

BTW, the instructions at the beginning of the wiring section are very helpful, probably better than any shop manual I've used.

In case you haven't already figured it out, the power source code across the top of the page showing, "A, 2,1, S, B," mean the following:
A -- Accessory Power Source
2 -- Ignition Switch 2 Power Source
1 -- Ignition Switch 1 Power Source
S -- Starter Power Source
B -- Battery Power Source

Now, obviously, when the ignition switch is OFF, the "B" buss only has voltage. When key is in the ACC (accessory) position voltage is supplied only to the "A" and "B" busses. When key is in ON position, voltage is supplied to "B" "A" "1" and "2" busses. Finally, when key in in ST (start) voltage is supplied to, "B" "1" and "S" busses only.

Thanks for the pic of the ground locations.
