Electrical Tech / Electrical Issue on my 1983 Bird
Changed the battery and either as a result or by coincidence the headlight switch is working but only main headlights.  The 15amp fuse keeps blowing as soon as you place it in the fuse holder.  Any thoughts?  My gut feeling tells me its not the headlight switch, but i am open to all thoughts.  The car is a 77K mile very original and well maintained survivor.  None of the wiring is cut or hacked anywhere in this car.

This is the fuse thats tripping.

T-Bird/Cougar Parts & Cars WANTED / Seeking outside door trims
Quote from: CougarGal;456341
I am looking for these two door trim pieces (not sure what to call them :)  for the passenger side.  I've marked the pieces that are on the driver's side for reference.  Need the 'smooth' ones, not the 'ribbed' looking ones.  If you have a set, please let me know and we'll go from there!  They're the only outside trims that my Cat still needs.

THANKS!

i have a clean set driver/passenger.  I won't separate them, but $75 for the complete set.  Just let me know.  They need paint but are very clean and straight.  I will post a few pics tonight.

That has nothing to do with it. Have you ever seen under the hood of any 2.3t Bird or XR7? They all came as I discribed

you are correct good sir, i was mistaken.  The v6/V8 cars all had the set up i described.

No. Mine is a factory TC so it had the battery on the drivers side with over flow mounted to frame rail and washer bottle under fender.

I would use that style but Im keeping the battery in the stock location because my air filter will be in opposite corner for my 5.0

50RACER, would you happen to have the pig tail to plug into that pump? I see the wiring is different between a 83 and the 87+ cars.
I would love to see your door tag and build date, i have never seen a 83 car Bird or Cougar with the battery on Drivers side.  Not saying its wrong, just never seen one.  If you have a late build date i could see that.  Whats the vin on your car?

If you have a 83 Bird/Cougar, the correct washer reservoir is a one year only Bird/Cougar coolant and washer fluid combo unit.  84 and up cars had the reservoir for washer fluid inside the driver front fender well.

General Fox T-Bird/Cougar Discussion / My $50 TRX Wheel/Tire score
These were summer wheels and tires for a 84 Cougar XR-7 and when the car sold it was wearing its winter wheels and tires.  He forgot about these for a number of years, put ad on CL and they came home with me for $50.  Perfect tires, stored in a clean dry temperature controlled cellar.  Tire shop owner said they should be fine for local driving and shows.  I have a spare set of mint tires for it as well.  Car looks way better in my opinion than the polycast's she was wearing before.
