Rewiring For Radio 85

[GODDLY]

Ok so I got this bronco a week or so ago and I have a few problems that the manual I have doesn't even touch. I bought a radio to go into my truck and best buy told me something about grounding and if they put it my radio it might work but no sound would come out of the speakers and that my truck has to be rewire and probably needs new speakers.

Also My gas gauge is totally broken after less then 20 miles of driving it say I'm empty and when I fill it up it doesn't go past the half way mark. I'm tracking how many miles I'm doing so I can just track my miles to figure out when I need gas for now. I'm hoping it makes it to around 200 miles or so per tank.... I hope.....

Also half of my MPH gauge doesn't light up when I have the back lights on. I know it's just a fuse but I have no clue how to replace it.

Also not important but no A/C how much would it cost to get it installed? Or is it easy to do your self.

Any other thoughts on what I should look at would be nice.

Probably a good idea, the Bronco wires are only 16 ga.

Could be a grounding issue or a bad sender

That is most likely a bulb in the back of the instrument panel, since all the dash lights are on the same fuse

Also not important but no A/C how much would it cost to get it installed? Or is it easy to do your self.

Probably cost you a bundle to have someone else install it. Your best bet is some sort of after market unit which doesn't require the changes a factory type would. A factory unit would require changing the heater blower system relocating the heater core adding the A/C portion, changing the dash bezels and adding the duct work, changing the heater control, etc.

Any other thoughts on what I should look at would be nice.

Good luck,
