I have a 1970 Maverick. Does someone on here have a picture of the fuse box with labels. I cant see mine. There are about four fuses out, and the two things that dont work are my backup lights, and dome lamp. The car doesnt have a radio or lighter. The labels would really help me sort out the wireing. Thanks guys.
Thanks Darren! Thats a really good pic. The fuse box looks alot like mine from what I remember. Maybe now I can get some work done that I've been putting off (like thoes back-up lights).
Yep its a handy pic. I think I got it off this forum way back then I lost it. Couldnt find it on the forum again but it was on my external hard drive. Couple of mouse clicks in the Mac time machine and I got my pic back.
Looks like a 70-75 fuse box. http://www.1bad6t.com/Maverick/repair/chassis_electrical_04.html </SPAN>
Almost forgot about that accessory term. I remember adding a factory rear defrost to my first 71. Used all the parts and wring from a donor car. Had to transfer the stud and wiring to that accessory spot. Sure wish I had all those parts now.
You'll have to come visit some day... Anyways, if something has happened to the wiring for the radio, that could be part of your issue with the backup lights, they are fed from the light for the radio.
