Title: ford color coding discovery
Post by: jcassity on October 31, 2016, 05:52:37 PM
i just noticed something.
when you have duplicate color wires in the same wire loom such as "white pink" where you have two of them, look closer.

a real example below of the v8 driver side wire harness to fire wall...>

one of the white pink wires has strips on either side of the circle of wire.. or 180 deg out of phase with each other.

on the other white pink,, the 2 pink strips are located on one side of the wire while the other side is completely white.
it appears this other white pink wire i found compresses the strips into 120 degrees of the circle of wire

im going to call these "tight strips"  or "white pink Tight"

thought this would help others out.

i also discovered that when duplicate colors are used, there will be one stripe instead of two on the second wire

example

white / brown

one of them would have two white stripes, the other would have a single white stripe

I think I have noticed this a time or two...but not really ran into it as a problem.
Is this place archived? How can we pool resources again to life-lock all the tech info here? :D

i just hope the IoT stays up, and the server gods have the heart to keep this going, until then, i do an old school copy & past of interesting URL's to threads in my diy link.
