nsrick Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Hello everyone Rick here just bought a 90 select 60 Saturday and have some electrical issues hoping for ideas List of what I have found not working interior courtesy lights power mirrors power locks tonneau release drivers power seat the controls on seat not working controls on door do work cruise control does not come on I have checked all fuses, checked the grounds by battery, starting to think time to pull the seats but before I do that just seeing if there may be other places I should look at. I am finding this forum very helpful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordrodsteven Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I tried for quite a while to get my courtesy lights to work on my '88. Last year I was doing some other work and the car was also out of commission for the winter. I decided what the heck? I pulled the seats. I didn't want to remove anymore of the interior to get at the splices under the carpet. I took a razor knife and cut the carpeting so I could open up the wiring trough. I found all the connections rusted and also two that were broken. I made the repairs to all the wires and then I had working courtesy lights! I also found a couple other power switches were no longer intermittent. My advice to anyone who hasn't done it yet is that you need to get in there and clean up those splices.

DAVES89 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Fordrodsteven has the correct answer. Too much wrong with the Select 60 for it to be anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Welcome to the forum Rick! I agree with the advice you've been given. Instructions are on this website for doing the repairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 1990 is exact same thing...no mirrors, locks, interior lights, hatch latch....my question can someone show where the harness runs across drivers ? ..where I can cut picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tutorial assumes you have the carpet removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nsrick Posted December 5, 2017 Topic Author Share Posted December 5, 2017 I did the driver side splices this week they did fall apart or were badly corroded now the locks,mirrors, top cover, trunk light all work still no interior lights I suspect once I tackle the passenger side all will work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 still no interior lights I suspect once I tackle the passenger side all will work I think you are probably correct. The interior lights are controlled by the ground side of the circuit. If I remember correctly, the ground wire splices are on the passenger side.

I just did my wires today, just cut rug. 4 hours of new splices....got interior lights. Boot switch works now, but still no cruise and power mirrors.
