The time has come. Bye Bye E4DOA.

Anyone have a wiring diagram so I can bypass the nss and hook up my reverse lights.

Start wire going into the E4OD MLPS is red/lightblue thru most of the harness, switches to white/pink between last connector and MLPS. From the MLPS to starter relay is again red/lightblue. Do the jump at connector C103, it's a black one with 8 wires according to the EVTM. Then again I've already caught the EVTM to have some issues when it comes to E4OD wiring, so you're best off looking at the green connector too while you're there, I'm pretty sure it will be the one that has the NSS wires.

Backup lights: wire coming from fuse is purple/orange, wire going to the lamps is black/pink. Both run thru the same connector as the NSS wires - EVTM says black one, I suggest green.

Are these the wires at the switch on the transmission?

 

[LCAM-01XA]

Da fuq, wonder why this didn't show in my subscribed threads, sorry for wasting your day dood.

At the E4OD switch you will have white/pink and red/lightblue for starter circuit. Wires for backup lights should be purple/orange and black/pink, again at the switch.

How are you doing this, cutting up the E4OD harness or do you have a ZF5 harness to plug in its place?

 

[6.9poweredscout]

thanks for the info! i'm gonna hack out the E4OD wiring and splice in the reverse light wiring.

 

[6.9poweredscout]

Thanks for all the help! Runs and drives awesome! The wiring worked prefect! But I noticed I have lost the tach...what wires are for that? Also powdered a speedo cable as it was too short. Pics to come!

 

[LCAM-01XA]

I'll get back to you on the tach wiring later tonight. As for the speedo cable, I've been lucky enough to run a 4x4 one for years now, makes cluster removal so much easier and the cable bends under the truck are much nicer than the 2wd one. And I got an even longer one now, again from a 4x4, but geez that thing can probably reach a divorced case or an aux box no problem!

 

[6.9poweredscout]

Yeah mine is a 72", need the longer one, think its a 92". Thanks for the wiring colors!

 

[6.9poweredscout]

got it finished up!

Rocking the gasser til the diesel is back together! dear god 2 mpg just doesn't cut it...why would someone buy this truck new with a gas job????

Sooo nice to rest my arm on the armrest and the shifter falls into me hand!

just have to figure out what's hitting the floor when I downshift and get the busing for the tcase lever. it's vibrating an driving me crazzzyyy.

OK, this is one giant disasterpiece. 1st off, the tach gets power thru the main power feed for the entire cluster - if everything else works fine, this part is good. 2nd, tach is grounded together with voltmeter and oil pressure gauge - if the other two work fine, I think tach ground path is good as well. Which leave us the 3rd wire, the one for the tach sensor.

In a manual truck that one leaves the cluster, passes thru the firewall, loops around over the rad support to the passenger side inner fender, there it passes thru a grey 8-wire connector located behind the battery, runs on top of the alternator, and hits the tach sensor by the IP. It's a darkgreen/yellow wire all the way, it does not change colors anywhere. At least according to the EVTM.

In an auto truck same wire leaves the gauge cluster as darkgreen/yellow again, till it reaches the bulkhead connector on the firewall. On the engine bay side of said connector the wire changes colors to white/pink, and goes straight into the E4OD computer. Looking at the TCM diagram I cannot find the wire that goes from the TCM to the tach sensor, obviously the truck has it but the EVTM does simply not show it. I looked at my truck, and it appears the tach wire is still dark green (but no yellow stripe) from the sensor thru the fender connector (and it's not the big 8-wire one like the EVTM says, but the smaller 4-wire one) and into the body harness. My guess is that it continues as dark green all the way till it reaches the TCM.

Based on that I'll suggest that you look at your TCM connector, find a dark green wire (with or without yellow stripe) and a white/pink wire, jump them together, and see if that brings your tach back to life. Is your TCM currently unplugged to begin with?

Also, was I correct when I suggested that the backup and NSS wires are in the green connector, and not in the black one as the EVTM was showing me? And how do you have your "low range" and "4x4" lights hooked up, or not at all?

 

[LCAM-01XA]

yay shifters everywhere!

I'll have you one-upped there - my shifters will have switches on them, all of them including the one for the transfer case Oh btw, if you remove the roll pin that serves as a pivot for the auto shifter, the lever will pop right out of the column. Ya know, in case you get tired of looking at the thing.

and get the busing for the tcase lever. it's vibrating an driving me crazzzyyy.

I got that same style of t-case shifter, but I don't think I'll be using it. I think I like the '80s shifters more, where they come into the cab thru the same tunnel cover as the transmission shifter. And even in that setup I have acquired two different styles, one from an '80 truck (mfg date in '79) with NP208 and one from an '86 with a 1345 Borg... Mix and match anyone?

it worked fine before the swap so i'm assuming its one of the wires I cut out of the harness by the trans. i'll have to dig in them and see whats there. i'm not sure what connector they were in, I traced the harness and found the colors and spliced into them for the starter and reverse lights. I didn't even attempt to hook up the 4x4 lights. idk if they are still in the harness, or if I have to run wires. if they are in the harness i'll probably splice into them so it works. maybe i'll get lucky and the truck will grow a dana 60....

thanks for you're help, i owe you some beers!

 

[LCAM-01XA]

I kinda doubt the 4x4 specific wires will be in the transmission harness, I don't recall having any unused connectors in mine. But if you wanna look, go right ahead - 4x4 wire is solid light blue, the one for the low range is again light blue but with black tracer. If they are in the harness they will end in a connector that is supposedly grey in color and can hold up to 4 wires (likely it will have just the two tho). Connector will be located to the left rear of the trans, so roughly in the area where the VSS was. Being a 2wd truck said connector, if it even exists, is likely to be capped off. Btw I do have some factory connectors I hacked off a junkyard truck to make breakout harnesses with them, I'll take a look tomorrow and see what's there and what isn't...

I'm half looking for a rebuildable e4oh-no to have ready when mine inevitably craps out. Keep me in mind if you want to get rid of it.

If you want to take a little roadtrip to MA.im pulling a low mileage ford reman out of my psd.the tranny is fine.it was an idi tranny.i swapped solenoid packs and converter.

Im pulling it cuz the converter is bad.im done with dealing with the automatic issues and going 5 speed

Lcam.... No **** but I love you man! worked perfect! Sodered together the green and white/pink write at the tcm connector.
