IN GREAT SHAPE,BUT ALAS IT IS A BRONCO AND WITH IT COMES DAILY PAIN. NOW,MINE HAD THE TAILGATE NO OPEN KEY OR SWITCH,ALSO AFTER WARMUP WHEN I PUT IT IN DRIVE THE OLI PRESS,WOULD CLICK TO ZERO,AND ENGINE LIGHT WOULD ACTIVATE. AFTER TWO DAYS SITTING,BATTERY WAS DEAD,DEAD DEAD .

FIXED THESE,AND ALSO GOT INTO L.TAILLIGHT AND CLEANED THE TWO CONNECTING PLUGS THIS FIXED ALL PROBLEMS,NO MORE DEAD BATT,NO MORE OIL PRESS.DROP WHEN PLACING IN GEAR,WINDOW WORKS AS NEW. I AM AMAISED.

Welcome to the B Zone!

I'm glad to hear you were able to fix your problems with our advice.

The advice I give is from my own problems and fixes over the last 4 years and probably the best investment I put into my FSB, a dealership shop manual I ordered from Ford.

Ford did build a great truck with the Bronco but the electrical system leaves a bit to be desired.

Good info!!! I kept blowing fuses for my tailights everytime I hit the brakes. Found a wire touching the leaf springs and shorting out. Fixxed that and used some zipties to secure it, and no more problems!!!
