Audio & Other Aftermarket Electronics / Speaker Problems
Ok so I bought new speakers for my 87 Thunderbird. The car had a standard cassette deck originally nothing fancy, so that means no premium sound as far as I could tell. I installed the new deck and have moved on to the new speakers. But I have hit a problem. The stock speakers have a weird connector with four wires going to it! I have found no adapters for it nor have I ever seen four wires run to a single speaker. What do I need to do hook up the speakers? I was gonna cut and splice but I have no idea what the wires are.

02 Sensors were replaced about two weeks ago. Was one of the first things I did when I encountered the problem.

I have about had it with this car. I replaced the fuel filter (which surprisingly was clogged pretty good) and still the  code 91. I bought it for 2500 and have invested another 700.

Ok it was throwing the code while it was running. It isn't throwing it anymore, but code 91 is back again. I don't know where to go from here.

Fuel Pump. I am getting ready to change the fuel filter and I was told to pull the fuse for the pump to release pressure in the line.

Thanks, but I see no fuse for the fuel pump. Unless I am blind!:hick:

Yes I do have a digital dash. I was making sure that connector wasn't something vital. The Temperature gauge works fine so I guess that isn't it. I am just checking to see if that was related to the car running like , or heck if it was related to my dash lights turning off when I turn the headlights on.

Ok never mind then, that is on the drivers side, so I don't know what that is. So I assume this must be it then?



Also any info on that plug would be nice!

Is this it next to the distributor?



Also I noticed this little connector nearby just sitting on the valve cover. I assume that this should be plugged into something. Any ideas?

Electrical Tech / Fuses
My car doesn't have a cap for the fuse box in the car, and strangely there is no underhood fuse box either. I am looking for something to help me identify the fuses. There are numbers next to the fuses but I don't know what these mean. I have no owners manual either. I am trying to find the fuse for the fuel pump. But I would like to know what all the other fuses are for. Especially since my dash lights don't work at night. Thanks. Its an 87 5.0 non-ho

Ok well the issues are continuing for the 87 that I added to my collection a month ago. The car throws code 91. I recently did a tune up, replaced plugs, wires, coil, and cap and rotor. Before the tune up it threw 41 and 91. Would it running lean cause the idle to get messed up at operating temperature? The weird thing is that the car runs fine until it gets to operating temperature. But once its warm it stalls and idles irraticaly. I was told to replace fuel filter and coolant temperature sensor. Any ideas guys?
