INTRODUCTION

You have purchased what we at Painless Performance Products believe to be the most up-to-date and easiest-toinstall automotive wire harness on the market. It is designed for easy installation, even if you have no electrical experience.

All kits have a built-in-anti-theft feature. Removing the fuse labeled "coil" from the fuse block will prevent the vehicle from starting.

The proper fuses have been pre-installed in the fuse block. In addition, all wires are color-coded. This will help you identify the different circuits during installation and later on if additions to the overall system are necessary. For fuse specifications and wire color designations, see Section 11.0.

In addition all of our kits have "accessory" terminals at the front of the fuse block for your convenience. These terminals may be constantly hot or "switched" hot but all are un-fused. If you plug into one of these terminals you must provide your own in-line fuse or circuit breaker.

The Painless wire harness is designed to be used in vehicles with a General Motors - keyed steering column, or other steering columns, depending on the kit purchased. All wire is 600 volt, 125 °c, TXL. Standard automotive wire is GPT,

300 volt, 80 °c, with PVC insulation.

This complete automobile wiring system has been designed with three major groups incorporated into it:

ENGINE/HEADLIGHT GROUP

Includes high beam, low beam, park, right turn, left turn, electric fan, horn, starter solenoid and battery feed, alternator and alternator exciter wire, distributor, water temperature, oil pressure, and air conditioning.

DASH GROUP

Includes wires to connect gauges, indicator lights, and switches to their proper sources. Trunk accessory, door locks, power windows, and electric fuel pump are included in the 18-circuit kit.

REAR LIGHT GROUP

Includes tail lights, dome lights (see Paragraph 10.4.2), left and right turn signals, brake lights, and fuel sender.

Installation requires four (4) easy steps: 1. Mount the fuse block

2. Route the wires

3. Cut off the excess wire

4. Terminate the wires

5.0 PRE-INSTALLATION AND GENERAL HARNESS ROUTING GUIDELINES

The installation of your wire harness mainly consists in two parts:

•

The physical routing and securing of the wire harness, wires, and groups.

The proper connection of the individual circuits.

These two major tasks are not separate steps, but are integrated together. That is, you will route some wires and make some connections, route some more wire and make some more connections.

We cannot tell you how to physically route the harness in your automobile. That depends a great deal upon the particular make of automobile and to what extent you want to secure and conceal the harness. We do offer some general guidelines and routing practices starting in Section 5.2, GENERAL installation instructions in Section 6.0, and precise instructions concerning the electrical connections you will have to make in beginning in Section 7.0. To help you begin thinking through the installation of your wire harness, read the following sections:

5.1 Familiarize yourself with the harness by locating each of the harness sections in the following list.

(Whenever a particular harness section is referred to in these instructions it is shown "all caps": ENGINE

SECTION A.) Note that, according to the particular harness you have purchased, some of these sections may not be present, and some are not labeled:

ACCESSORY SECTION SWITCHES

ACCESSORY SECTION B+

DIMMER SWITCH SECTION (See Section 3.2)

DOOR SECTION A

DOOR SECTION B

ENGINE SECTION

ENGINE SECTION (Single, 10 ga. red wire)

ENGINE SECTION A

HEADLIGHT SECTION A

HEADLIGHT SECTION B

IGNITION SWITCH SECTION (See Section 3.3)

INSTRUMENT PANEL SECTION

RADIO SECTION

SPEAKER SECTION

TAIL SECTION

TURN SIGNAL SECTION (See Section 3.3)

Note: For complete information concerning the individual circuits and wires that make up the harness

SECTIONS, see Section 11.0.

5.2

5.3

Decide where the fuse block will be mounted. The Painless Wire Harness is designed for the fuse block to be mounted on the driver's side, under the dash. (Except on part numbers 10120 and 10220)

Decide which of the following circuits you will be using in your system and where the harness groups or wires will be routed:

ROUTING LOCATION AND PLACEMENT

Emergency Flashers

Horn

Dome Lights

Lights

Power Windows*

Power Door Locks*

Cigarette Lighter*

Wipers

Electric Fuel Pump*

Air Conditioner

Electric Cooling Fan

Coil

Trunk Light*

Turn Signals

Radio Ignition Switched Power

Radio Constant Power

Power Antenna*

Gauges

Accessories

Backup Lights*

Cruise Control*

*These circuits are included in the 18-circuit kit only.

5.4 Where will the following harness groups be routed?

Headlights

Engine

Dash

Tail Lights

Doors and Speakers

5.5

5.6

5.7

5.8

A good exercise is to lay out the wire harness on the floor beside your automobile and identify all the

SECTIONS. You will want to route the harness through and around open areas. Inside edges provide protection from hazards and also provide places for tie wraps, clips and other support.

Route the harness away from sharp edges, exhaust pipes, and hood, trunk and door hinges.

Plan where harness supports will be located. Allow enough slack at places where movement could occur

(body to frame, frame to engine, etc.). Use a support every 12 inches unless the harness routes under the floor carpet.

At wire ends don't depend on the terminals to support the harness. The weight of the harness could cause terminals to disconnect or copper wire strands to break.

5.9 The wires should be bundled into groups. Use nylon ties, poly split loom, or tape.

HARNESS GENERAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

6.1 Rough Installation

CAUTION: DISCONNECT THE POWER FROM YOUR VEHICLE BY REMOVING THE NEGATIVE

(BLACK) BATTERY CABLE FROM THE BATTERY.

6.2

Note: Make no wire connections or permanent mounting of any kind at this time!

6.1.1 Position the fuse block in its mounting area.

6.1.2 Drill a 1-1/4" (1.25") hole near the fuse block for engine and headlight group wires to pass through

(ENGINE SECTION, ENGINE SECTION A, SINGLE 10 GA. (Red wire #916), and HEADLIGHT

SECTION A).

6.1.3 Install the Firewall grommet. Route engine and headlight group wires through the grommet and position the harness groups in the areas decided upon in Sections 5.3 and 5.1.

6.1.4 Route dash group (ACCESSORY SECTION B+, ACCESSORY SECTION SWITCHES, HEADLIGHT

SECTION B, INSTRUMENT PANEL SECTION and RADIO SECTION) upward to rear of dash and temporarily tie in place.

6.1.5 Position rear group, consisting of DOOR SECTIONS A & B and SPEAKER SECTION (both in 18circuit kits only) and TAIL SECTION, on floor pan area decided upon in Sections 5.3 and 5.4.

Harness Attachment

Note: Harness routing and shaping is and should be a time-consuming task. Taking your time will enhance the beauty of your installation. Please be patient and TAKE YOUR TIME!

6.2.1 Permanently mount the fuse block. (Note: The fuse block itself does not have to be grounded.)

6.2.2 Mold harness groups to the contour of floor pan, firewall, fender panels, and any other area where wires or harness groups are routed. Remember to route the harness away from sharp edges, exhaust pipes, hood, trunk and door hinges, etc.

6.2.3 Attach harness groups to your automobile with clips or ties starting at the fuse block and working toward the rubber grommet for the front groups and along the floor pan for the rear group. The dash wires should be routed out of the way of any under-dash obstacles, such as cowl vent, air conditioning, radio, etc.

Note: Do not tighten tie wraps and mounting devices at this time. Make all harness attachments

LOOSELY.

6.2.4 When used every 1-1/2" or so on the visible areas of the harness, the plastic wire ties make a very attractive assembly. A tie installed in other areas every 6" or so will hold the wires in place nicely.

Remember to take your time!

6.3

6.4

6.5

Grounding the Automobile

A perfectly and beautifully wired automobile will nevertheless have bugs and problems if everything is not properly grounded. Do not go to the careful effort of installing a quality wire harness only to neglect proper grounding.

Note: The Painless Wire Harness Kit includes no ground wire except the black wire from the two headlamp connectors. You must supply ground wire (14-16 gauge) for all circuits.

6.3.1 Connect a Ground Strap or Cable (even a 10-gauge wire is too small) from the Negative Battery terminal to the automobile chassis (frame).

6.3.2 Connect a Ground Strap from the Engine to the chassis. DO NOT RELY UPON THE MOTOR

MOUNTS TO MAKE THIS CONNECTION.

6.3.3 Connect a Ground Strap from the Engine to the Body.

6.3.4 If you have a fiberglass body you should install a terminal block to ground all your Gauges and

Accessories. Ground the Terminal Block with at least a 12-gauge wire to the chassis.

Terminal Installation and Making Connections

Note: In the following steps you will be making the circuit connections. Before you start, you should carefully read Sections 7.0 through 10.0, as appropriate, and continually refer to Section 11.0, DOUBLE-

CHECKING your routing and length calculations before cutting any wires and making connections. Give special attention to Turn Signal and Ignition Switch connections. These can be somewhat confusing.

6.4.1 Have all needed tools and connectors handy.

6.4.2 Select the correct size terminal for the wire and stud application.

6.4.3 Determine the correct wire length and cut the wire. Remember to allow enough slack in the harness and wires at places where movement could possibly occur, such as automobile body to frame, frame to engine, etc. Double-check your calculations.

6.4.4 Strip insulation away from wire. Strip only enough necessary for the type of terminal lug you are using.

Note: In the following step, make sure that the terminal is crimped with the proper die in the crimping tool. An improper crimp will NOT make a good connection.

6.4.5 Crimp the terminal onto the wire.

CAUTION: DO OVER-CRIMP!

6.4.6 Connecting the harness throughout the groups is a redundant process. Make sure that each wire is

FIRST properly routed and THEN attach. DO NOT ATTACH FIRST THEN ROUTE AFTERWARD.

6.4.7 When all wires are attached, tighten the mounts and ties to secure harness permanently.

Testing The System

6.5.1 Use a small (10 amp or less) battery charger to power up the vehicle for circuit testing. If there is a problem anywhere, the battery charger's low amperage and internal circuit breaker will provide circuit protection.

CAUTION: IF YOU HAVE NOT YET DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY FROM THE AUTOMOBILE,

DO SO NOW! DO NOT CONNECT THE BATTERY CHARGER WITH THE BATTERY CONNECTED.

Connect the battery charger's NEGATIVE output to the automobile chassis or engine block and its

POSITIVE output to the automobile's positive battery terminal.

6.5.2 INDIVIDUALLY turn on each light, ignition, wiper circuit, etc. and check for proper operation.

Note: The turn signals will not flash properly if you do not have both the front and rear bulbs installed and connected.

6.5.3 When all circuits check out THEN attach the battery cable to the battery for vehicle operation.

7.0 GM - SPECIFIC CIRCUIT CONNECTIONS

Note: Your alternator may not appear exactly as represented in the Figures. The circuits are wired the same way, though.

7.1 Early GM Alternator (before 1969) - External Regulator. See Figure 7-1.

7.1.1 With a short 16-gauge jumper wire, connect Voltage Regulator terminals 3 & 4 together. Connect

ENGINE SECTION wire #914 (wht) to Voltage Regulator terminal 3 or 4.

7.1.2 Connect ENGINE SECTION wire #915 (red) to the Alternator Output lug (Bat).

7.1.3 Connect a 14-gauge wire from Voltage Regulator terminal 2 to Alternator terminal R. Connect a 14gauge wire from Voltage Regulator terminal F to Alternator terminal F.

7.1.4 Connect a 16-gauge ground wire from the Alternator Ground lug (G) to chassis ground.

7.2

Figure 7-1 Early GM Alternator - External Regulator

Late GM Alternator (after 1972) - Internal Regulator. See Figure 7-2.

7.2.1 Connect ENGINE SECTION wire #914 (wht) to Alternator terminal 1. Connect ENGINE SECTION wire #915 (red) to the Alternator Output lug (Bat).

7.2.2 Connect a short 14-gauge jumper wire from Alternator terminal 2 to the Alternator Output lug

(Bat).

7.2.3 A connector and terminal spades for late GM Alternators are included in the parts box.

* Under some circumstances the connection of the alternator will not allow the engine to be shut off. If this occurs a diode will need to be installed inline on wire #914. This will prevent the alternator from back feeding into the ignition system and thus causing the engine to run with the ignition switch turned off. The Radio Shack part number for the diode is 276-1661.

It is to be installed with the stripe

towards the alternator.

#914 Alternator

Figure 7-2A Late GM Alternator - Internal Regulator

GM One-Wire Alternator.

7.2.4 Connect ENGINE SECTION wire #915 (red) to the Alternator Output lug (Bat).

Insulate and stow ENGINE SECTION wire #914 (wht). Do not install jumper wire. No wires are connected to Alternator terminals 1 & 2. If alternator output is greater than 65 amps refer to

Figure 7-2B and the caution on page 6.

7.2.5 When using a 1-wire alternator you must use a voltmeter or ammeter. A WARNING LIGHT

CANNOT BE WIRED IN.

CAUTION:

IF USING AN ALTERNATOR WITH AN OUTPUT LARGER THAN 65 AMPS, YOU WILL ALSO NEED

TO USE THE RED 10 GAUGE WIRE #960 AND THE RED 8 GAUGE WIRE INCLUDED IN THE BOX. THE WIRE END

WITH THE RING TERMINAL AND RUBBER BOOT WILL CONNECT TO THE ALTERNATOR OUTPUT LUG WITH

#915. ROUTE THE OTHER END TO THE MAXI FUSE TERMINAL WITH WIRE #916. CUT THE WIRE AND CRIMP

ON A RING TERMINAL. NOW INSTALL A RING TERMINAL ON THE REMAINING RED 8 GAUGE WIRE AND

ATTACH IT TO THE STARTER SIDE TERMINAL OF THE MAXI FUSE. CUT THE 8 GAUGE RED WIRE TO LENGTH,

CRIMP ON A RING TERMINAL AND ATTACH IT TO THE MAIN SOLENOID LUG WITH THE POSITIVE BATTERY

CABLE. SEE FIGURE 7-2B.

Figure 7-2B High Output Wire

* These terminals will not be used on One Wire alternators. They will normally have a black plastic plug which blocks off the terminals.

** If you do not have a One Wire alternator refer to

Figure7-2A.

7.3 GM Ignition (Start/Run) System. See Figure 7-4.

Note: If you are going to install an ammeter, see Section 10.3 first.

7.2.6 With crimping tool, attach Maxi Fuse (Figure 7-3) onto end of ENGINE SECTION (single) 10 ga. wire #916 (red) AFTER having routed wire from the Fuse Panel to the Starter Solenoid. This serves as a fuse to protect the entire harness. DO NOT OMIT IT!

7.2.7 Connect wire #916 - with Maxi Fuse installed - to the Starter Solenoid Battery terminal. This is the same lug that the large red cable from the battery is normally connected to.

7.2.8 Connect ENGINE SECTION A wire #919 (pur) to the Starter Solenoid Start (S) terminal. (See illustration on page 31)

Figure 7-3 Maxi Fuse

Figure 7-4 GM Ignition (Start-Run) System

7.2.9 If you are using the Ballast Resistor, mount it away from other wiring or hoses. The Ballast Resistor gets very hot during operation. Connect ENGINE SECTION A wire #920 (pnk) to one end of the

Ballast Resistor. Connect the other end of the Ballast Resistor to the Ignition Coil B+ terminal with

14-gauge wire (you may have enough pink wire left over to accomplish this). If you are not using a

Ballast Resistor, connect wire #920 directly to the Ignition Coil B+ terminal.

Note: The ballast resistor has been deleted from this kit due to lack of consumer usage. If one is needed in your application, please call Painless Performance at 800-423-9696 for assistance.

Important Note! For HEI systems route wire #920 (pnk) to the Distributor and attach it to the terminal labeled BAT. No Ballast Resistor is required.

7.2.10 The Ignition Coil NEGATIVE (-) terminal is connected to the Distributor. Also Connect ENGINE

SECTION A wire #923 (pur/wht) to the Ignition Coil NEGATIVE (-) terminal. This is the tachometer source. If you are not using a tachometer, insulate and stow wire #923.

7.2.11 A 14-gauge wire connected from the Starter Solenoid Ignition (l) terminal to the ignition coil side of the Ballast Resistor is optional. This wire (the dashed line in Figure 7-4) serves as a ballast resistor BYPASS during engine starting. However, if the starter solenoid shorts out, which is not unusual, the engine will stop running and will not restart as long as this wire is connected. You may therefore choose to omit it. If you are not using a Ballast Resistor, leave the Starter Solenoid

Ignition (l) terminal unconnected and do not install the bypass wire.

7.3 Steering Column Wiring - Turn Signal & Ignition Switch Connectors

7.3.10 There are two different plugs on most tilt columns. The difference is in the length of the male plug that is mounted ON THE COLUMN. One plug is 3-7/8” (3.875”) long and the other is 4-1/4"

(4.250"). This is only a difference of 3/8" (0.375"), so measure the plug carefully. The Wire

Harness Kit has included two different female connectors to mate with the column-mounted plug.

See Figure 7-5 to determine which female connector is correct for your automobile.

The TURN SIGNAL SECTION wires may have already been terminated for you. If not cut wires to length and install terminals provided. Choose the proper plug and install the terminals according to

Table 7-1, as shown in Figure 7-5. The GM wire color codes have been included for reference.

Note: The terminals will only insert into the connector ONE WAY, as shown in Figure 7-5. Make certain you are inserting the wire into the CORRECT LOCATION as the terminals are difficult if not impossible to remove once inserted.

Figure 7-5 GM Turn Signal Connectors

7.3.11 The Steering Column Wiring comes with GM ignition switch connectors pre-wired. See Table 7-1 and Figure 7-5 for color codes, wire numbers, and wire designations for the Ignition Switch

Connectors.

7.3.12 IGNITION SWITCH SECTION wire #919 (pur) has been cut and spade lugs installed on the GM keyed steering column wiring. These spade lugs are to be connected to the

Neutral Safety Switch at the base of the steering column. If using a neutral safety switch on a floor shifter or in the transmission, the two purple wires with the yellow

spade lugs must be connected together and the (pur) #919 needs to be routed to the neutral safety switch, cut and connected to it, then continued on to the starter

solenoid.

7.3.13 The harness does not support seat belt buzzers or key alarms.

7.3.14 To supply power to a throttle body or tuned port fuel injection use ENGINE SECTION A wire #920

(pnk) as the fused ignition power source.

8.2.14 An alternate (and less-used) method is to omit the Alternator Stator wire, install a 14-gauge jumper across Voltage Regulator terminals A & S, and connect wire #914 to either the A or S terminal of the Voltage Regulator. The FIELD wire and wire #915 are connected as above. Do NOT install a jumper as in Paragraph 8.1.2. The Voltage Regulator Ignition (l) terminal is not connected. Install ground wires as in Paragraph 8.1.4. This alternate configuration is illustrated in dashed lines in Figure 8-1A.

8.3 Ford Ignition (Start/Run) System. See Figure 8-2.

Note: If you are going to install an ammeter, see Section 10.3 first.

Note: Original ignition module wire should be retained if possible. Connectors for the module are no longer serviced.

8.3.10 With crimping tool, attach the Maxi Fuse (Figure 7-3) onto end of ENGINE SECTION (single) 10 ga. wire #916 (red) AFTER having routed wire (with or without ammeter) from the Fuse Panel to the Starter Relay. This serves as a fuse to protect the entire harness. DO NOT OMIT IT!

8.3.11 Connect wire #916 - with Maxi Fuse installed - to the Starter Relay Battery terminal. This is the same lug that the large red cable from the battery is normally connected to.

8.3.12 Connect ENGINE SECTION A wire #919 (pur) to the Starter Relay Start (S) terminal.

Figure 8-1A Ford Alternator (2 configurations)

Figure 8-1B High Output Wire

8.3.13 If you are using the Ballast Resistor, mount it away from other wiring or hoses. The Ballast Resistor gets very hot during operation. Connect ENGINE SECTION A wire #920 (pnk) to one end of the

Ballast Resistor. Connect the other end of the Ballast Resistor to the Ignition Coil B+ terminal with

14-gauge wire (you may have enough pink wire left over to accomplish this). If you are using a

Ballast Resistor, connect wire #920 directly to the Ignition Coil B+ terminal.

Note: The Ballast Resistor has been deleted from this kit due to lack of consumer usage. If one is needed in your application, please call Painless Performance at 800-423-9696 for assistance.

8.3.14 The Ignition Coil NEGATIVE (-) terminal is connected to the Distributor. Also connect ENGINE

SECTION A wire #923 (pur/wht) to the Ignition Coil NEGATIVE (-) terminal. This is the tachometer source. If you are not using a tachometer, insulate and stow wire #923.

8.3.15 Connect a 14-gauge wire from the Starter Relay Ignition (l) terminal to the ignition coil side of the

Ballast Resistor. This wire serves as a ballast resistor BYPASS during engine starting. If you are not using a ballast resistor, leave the Starter Relay Ignition (l) terminal unconnected and do not connect the bypass wire.

8.3.16 Be sure the large, red battery cable is connected from the other side of the Starter Relay to the

Starter Motor.

8.4 Steering Column Wiring - Turn Signal Connections

8.4.10 Connect the nine (9) TURN SIGNAL SECTION wires to your automobile's existing Turn Signal

Connector according to Table 8-1. Ford wire color codes are provided for reference. Ford has not been uniform in assigning wire colors over the years; so you may find that the wire colors in your existing Ford harness differ from those shown.

8.4.11 If there is any doubt, be on the safe side. Trace the wire(s) with an ohmmeter, circuit tester, or test light. DON'T GUESS!

Note: Disconnect one end of the wire you are tracing. If you leave it connected, there is the possibility of tracing it back through some other circuit and getting false results.

8.4.12 Connect the Horn Ground wire to chassis ground. The Painless harness has no corresponding ground wire, nor does it support seat belt buzzers or key alarms.

8.5 Steering Column Wiring - Ignition Switch Connections

8.5.10 Connect the wires of the IGNITION SWITCH SECTION according to Table 8-1. Figure 8-3 represents three (certainly not all) possible Ford ignition switch connector configurations and how they should be wired to the Painless steering column pigtail connector.

Note: The connectors are shown from the wire side, NOT the connection side. It is important to understand the difference.

Again, trace the wires if in doubt.

8.5.11 On some Fords, the Ignition Switch is designed to bypass the ballast resistor during start. In Table

8-1, the red/blu wire supplies power to the coil, bypassing the ballast resistor when the switch is in the "Start" position. Once the engine has started and the switch is released (Run), power is supplied to the coil (through the ballast resistor) by the (variously-colored) wire shown. Jumper these two terminals to the Ignition Switch Connector and connect IGNITION SECTION wire #931

(pnk) to one or the other. DO NOT ROUTE AN ADDITIONAL WIRE. The ballast resistor bypass circuit was wired at Paragraph 8.2.4.

8.5.12 IGNITION SWITCH SECTION wire #919 (pur) needs to be routed to the neutral safety switch, cut and connected to it. If the switch is mounted on the floor shifter, add some length of wire to reach it. FOR SAFETY, PLEASE USE A NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH!

9 MOPAR - SPECIFIC CIRCUIT CONNECTIONS

9.2 Mopar Alternator. See Figure 9-1

Note: Your Alternator may not appear exactly as represented in Figure 9-1. The circuits are wired the same way, though.

9.2.10 Mopar uses one of two kinds of voltage regulators: An electronic regulator and a mechanical one.

The electronic voltage regulator is represented in Figure 9-1. It does not matter how the two terminals are connected, so long as they are BOTH connected. The mechanical regulator has terminals marked "F" (Field) and "l" (Ignition). In contrast to the electronic regulator, it DOES make a difference how the mechanical regulator is connected.

9.2.11 Connect ENGINE SECTION wire #914 (wht) to the Alternator Field (F) terminal as shown in Figure

9-1A. Connect ENGINE SECTION wire #915 (red) to the Alternator Output lug (Bat).

CAUTION: IF USING AN ALTERNATOR WITH AN OUTPUT LARGER THAN 65 AMPS, YOU

WILL ALSO NEED TO USE JUMPER WIRE #960 (RED), INCLUDED IN BOX. THE WIRE END WITH

THE RING TERMINAL AND RUBBER BOOT WILL CONNECT TO THE ALTERNATOR OUTPUT LUG.

ROUTE THE OTHER END TO THE STARTER. CUT THE WIRE AND CRIMP ON A RING TERMINAL.

INSTALL ON STARTER TERMINAL WITH CABLE COMING FROM BATTERY. SEE FIGURE 9-1B.

9.2.12 Connect a 14-gauge wire from the Alternator terminal where wire #914 is connected to either of the ELECTRONIC Voltage Regulator terminals OR terminal (l) of the MECHANICAL Voltage

Regulator. On existing Mopar harnesses, this would be a blue wire.

9.2.13 Connect a 14-gauge wire from the other Alternator Field terminal (as shown in Figure 9-1) to the second terminal of the ELECTRONIC Voltage Regulator OR terminal (F) of the MECHANICAL

Voltage Regulator. On existing Mopar harnesses, this would be a green wire.

9.2.14 Finally, be sure BOTH the alternator and the voltage regulator itself are grounded.

Figure 9-1A Mopar Alternator

9.3 Mopar Ignition (Start/Run) System. See Figure 9-2

Note: If you are going to install an ammeter, see Section 10.3 first.

9.3.10 Connect ENGINE SECTION (single) 10-gauge red wire #916 (with or without ammeter) to the

Starter Relay Battery Terminal. Retain excess wire.

wire. It serves as a fuse to protect the entire harness. DO NOT OMIT IT! Connect this wire from the Starter Motor Battery terminal, as shown in Figure 9-2. USE ONLY 10-GAUGE WIRE.

9.2.3 Connect ENGINE SECTION A wire #919 (pur) to the Starter Relay Ignition (l) terminal.

9.2.4 Connect a 14-gauge wire from the Starter Relay Ground (G) terminal to the center terminal of the transmission mounted Neutral Safety Switch. Older Mopar neutral safety switches have only one terminal. On newer switches, the two outside terminals are for backup lights. Use existing wiring to connect these two terminals as shown in Figure 9-2.

9.2.5 If using a harness with the GM column connectors, but using the Mopar Neutral Safety Switch, or neutral safety switch on a floor shifter, you will need to splice together the purple (pur) wires at the steering column wiring.

9.2.6 If the Neutral Safety Switch is mounted in the floor shifter, connect the Starter Relay Ground (G) terminal to chassis ground. Refer to Paragraph 9.4.2 to wire the Neutral Safety Switch.

9.2.7 If you are using the Ballast Resistor (Figure 3-1), mount it away from other wiring or hoses. The ballast resistor gets very hot during operation. Connect ENGINE SECTION A wire #920 (pnk) to one end of the Ballast Resistor. Connect the other end of the ballast resistor to the Ignition Coil

POSITIVE (+) terminal with 14-gauge wire (you may have enough pink wire left over to accomplish this). If you are not using a Ballast Resistor, connect wire #920 directly to the Ignition Coil B+ terminal.

Note: The Ballast Resistor has been deleted from this kit due to lack of consumer usage. If one is needed in your application, please call Painless Performance at 800-423-9696 for assistance.

9.2.8 Connect a 14-gauge wire from the Starter Relay Ignition (l) terminal to the ignition coil side of the

Ballast Resistor. This wire serves as a ballast resistor BYPASS during engine starting. You must add a diode (8 amp min., 100 PIV) to this wire as shown in Figure 9-2. If you are not using a ballast resistor, do not connect this wire.

9.2.9 The Ignition Coil NEGATIVE (-) terminal is connected to the Distributor. Also connect ENGINE

SECTION A wire #923 (pur/wht) to the Ignition Coil NEGATIVE (-) terminal. This is the tachometer source. If you are not using a tachometer, insulate and stow wire #923.

9.2.10 Be sure the large, red battery cable is connected from the Battery to the Starter Motor Battery terminal (the same place the Maxi Fuse is connected).

9.3 Steering Column Wiring - Turn Signal Connections

Refer to Table 9-1. Check your existing wiring (by tracing the wire, if necessary) against the data given.

9.3.1 Connect the nine (9) wires of the TURN SIGNAL SECTION to your automobile's existing Turn Signal

Connector according to Table 9-1. Mopar wire color codes for a number of years are provided for reference. Mopar has not been uniform in assigning wire colors over the years; so you may find that the wire colors in your existing Mopar harness differ from those shown.

9.3.2 If there is any doubt, be on the safe side. Trace the wire(s) with an ohmmeter, circuit tester, or test light. DON'T GUESS!

Note: Disconnect one end of the wire you are tracing. If you leave it connected, there is a possibility of tracing it back through some other circuit and getting false results.

9.3.3 If your existing Turn Signal Connector requires a Horn Ground wire, install one. The TURN SIGNAL

SECTION has no ground wire, nor does it support seat belt buzzers, key alarms, or shifter lights.

9.4 Steering Column Wiring - Ignition Switch Connections

9.4.1 Connect the wires of the IGNITION SWITCH SECTION according to Table 9-1.

9.4.2 IGNITION SWITCH SECTION wire #919 (pur) is to be connected to a Neutral Safety Switch.

However, Mopar switches are mounted in the transmission. The transmission-mounted neutral safety switch was wired at Paragraph 9.2.4. FOR SAFETY, PLEASE USE A NEUTRAL SAFETY

Figure 10-2 Ammeter & Maxi Fuse

10.3 Connecting an Ammeter and the Maxi Fuse. See Figure 10-2.

10.3.1 Most, but not all Ammeters must be inserted IN SERIES onto the ENGINE SECTION (single) 10gauge wire #916 (red) that routes from the Fuse Panel to the Starter Solenoid on GM (Section

7.4) and from the Fuse Panel to the Starter Relay on Ford (Section 8.2) and Mopar (Section

9.2).

10.3.2 The overall physical length of this circuit should be as short as possible (allow some slack, however). You may have to cut wire #916 and you may have to add some additional length of 10gauge wire. USE ONLY 10-GAUGE WIRE OR LARGER.

10.3.3 Route wire #916 (from the Fuse Panel) and connect to the Ammeter NEGATIVE terminal. To complete the installation, follow ONE of the next three (3) paragraphs, as appropriate.

10.3.4 If you are using a GM starter, route the remainder of wire #916 from the Ammeter POSITIVE terminal to the Maxi Fuse terminal. Connect the other side of the Maxi Fuse (Figure 7-3) to the

Starter Solenoid Battery (B+) terminal.

10.3.5 If you are using a Ford starter with a starter relay, route the remainder of wire #916 from the

Ammeter POSITIVE terminal to the Maxi Fuse terminal. Connect the other side of the Maxi Fuse

(Figure 7-3) to the Starter Solenoid Battery (B+) terminal.

10.3.6 If you are using a Mopar starter with a starter relay, route the remainder of wire #916 from the

Ammeter POSITIVE terminal to the Maxi Fuse terminal. Connect the other side of the Maxi Fuse

(Figure 7-3) to the Starter Solenoid Battery (B+) terminal.

CAUTION: BOTH AMMETER TERMINALS MUST ABSOLUTELY BE ISOLATED FROM

GROUND. IF EITHER AMMETER TERMINAL COMES IN CONTACT WITH GROUND A

HARNESS FIRE IS INEVITABLE. USE EXTREME CARE AND DILIGENCE IN CONNECTING

AMMETERS.

CAUTION: BE SURE YOUR AMMETER'S CURRENT (AMPS) RATING EXCEEDS THE

CURRENT OUTPUT OF YOUR ALTERNATOR. PERFECT PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS, LLC

DOES NOT RECOMMEND USING ANY AMMETER RATED AT LESS THAN 65 AMPS. DO

NOT USE AN AMMETER WITH ANY HIGH OUTPUT ALTERNATOR (MORE THAN 65

AMPS).

10.4 Interior Lighting. See Figure 10-3

10.4.1 Interior Lights are switched through the door switches and the dash-mounted headlight switch, which is usually rotated counter-clockwise to turn on. These switches apply ground to the circuit.

YOU WILL NEED TO SUPPLY THESE GROUND WIRES. 12V is continually present at the light bulbs.

See Figure 10-6.

10.4.2 If possible leave your existing interior light wiring intact. The Painless harness supplies the 12V feed (B+) to the circuit via TAIL SECTION wire #945 (wht) and a ground via TAIL SECTION wire

#961 (blk).

10.5 HEADLIGHT SECTION A. See Figure 10-4B.

10.5.1 Connect HEADLIGHT SECTION A wire #924 (grn) to the Horn's hot terminal. TURN SIGNAL

SECTION wire #953 (blk) was connected in the Turn Signal Connector section of these instructions. The Horn Relay is pre-wired into the Fuse Panel.

10.5.2 Connect HEADLIGHT SECTION A wires #908 (lt.grn) and #909 (tan) to the green and tan wires of

BOTH Headlamp Connectors. Connect the black wires of the Headlamp Connectors to Chassis

Ground. You should have enough wire to accomplish this. You have been supplied with two small grommets (Figure 3-1) should you need to pass these wires through a fender well. Don't forget to thread them onto the wires BEFORE you connect the wires.

10.5.3 Connect HEADLIGHT SECTION A wire #927 (brn) to ALL front Park Lights. Connect HEADLIGHT

SECTION A wire #925 (blu) to the RIGHT FRONT Turn Signal. Connect wire #926 (lt.blu) to the

LEFT FRONT Turn Signal.

Note: Don't confuse Park Lights with Turn Signals.

10.5.4 Connect HEADLIGHT SECTION A wire #901 (gry/wht) to the Electric Fan Relay. This wire is an activation wire for the relay, NOT A POWER FEED. The other end of wire #901 is in the

ACCESSORY SECTION SWITCHES and should be connected to the electric fan switch in the dash.

Figure 10-4A shows a typical fan relay installation.

Note: The wire going to the fan in Figure 10-4B will be coming from the fan relay output terminal. Wire #901 (gry/wht) from the ACCESSORY SECTION SWITCHES is an activation wire for the fan relay.

10.5.5 Connect the DIMMER SWITCH SECTION Extension Cable (Figure 3-1) to its mating connector in the harness (if applicable) and your floor-mounted Dimmer Switch or column-mounted Dimmer

Switch.

Figure 10-5 Dimmer Switches

10.6 HEADLIGHT SECTION B Wiring. See Figure 10-6.

10.6.1 Connect the 6 wires of HEADLIGHT SECTION B, the Dome and Interior Light return circuit, and the

Headlamp Switch Ground as shown. If you do not have a GM headlight switch, you should trace out the wires of your existing harness and connect the new harness according to Table 11-2.

Note: On late-style GM headlight switches, the park lights terminal to which wire #927 (brn) is connected (shown in Figure 10-6) has been omitted. In this case, wire #927 must be connected as indicated by the dashed line in Figure 10-6.

10.7 Instrument Panel Wiring

10.7.1 Connect the wires of the INSTRUMENT PANEL SECTION as indicated in Table 11-2. Insulate and stow any wires you do not use.

10.7.2 Connect a jumper from wire #935 (red/wht) to all Gauges' power or “I” terminals. Connect a jumper from wire #930 (brn) to all Gauges' Instrument Lighting terminals. Connect a jumper to all

Gauges' Ground terminals and connect to Chassis Ground.

10.8 Brake Light Switch

10.8.1 Connect ENGINE SECTION A wires #917 (orn) and #918 (wht) to the Brake Light Switch wherever it may be mounted.

10.8.2 The Third Brake Light wire is pre-connected on the Switch end. Connect TAIL SECTION wire #950

(orn) to the Third Brake Light if applicable.

10.9 Tail Section Wiring

10.9.1 Connect the wires of the TAIL and TURN SIGNAL SECTIONS as indicated in Table 11-2 with the exception of #918 (wht), #948 (grn), #949 (ylw) and #950 (orn).

10.9.2 These 4 wires will be connected according to one of the diagrams shown in Figure 10-7. Which diagram you will use depends on whether or not you have one bulb on each side of the vehicle that is for the brake/tail and Turn Signal Lights (this is referred to as integrated lights) or you have more than one bulb on each side and the Brake and Turn Signal Lights are hooked to different bulbs (referred to as separate Brake/Turn Lights).

Note A: If you have Integrated Brake Lights you must use bulbs that have two (2) filaments in them such as in an 1157 bulb.

Note B: The three wires shown in these diagrams are connected to the "brighter" of the two filaments when using a two-filament bulb (the Tail Lights are usually connected to the

"Dimmer" filament). The Tail Lights, License Plate Lights, Reverse Lights, etc. are not shown on the diagrams for clarity.

Note C: In the separate Brake Light diagram the arrangement shown is only one of several ways to wire a vehicle. The important thing is that the Brake and Turn Signal Lights use completely separate bulbs.

Integrated Brake Lights & Separate Turn/Brake Lights

10.10 Helpful Hints for Tail Section Wiring

When you have Integrated Brake Lights on your vehicle the Turn Signal switch acts as a brain to control when the Lights in the rear are on constantly (braking) or flashing (turning) or a combination of both. The Turn Signal switch you use must be built to do this! If you are using a steering column out of a salvage yard that was originally in a vehicle that had

separate Brake Lights then the switch will not work for Integrated Brake Lights.

Almost all light bulbs get the ground they need through the socket housing. If you mount your socket housing into anything other than a grounded metal part then you will need to provide a separate ground wire.

11.0 WIRE CONNECTION INDEX AND FUSE REQUIREMENTS

11.1 Wire Connection Index

In each section, connect the wire, as identified by its wire color, to the appropriate item in the CONNECT TO column. Pay close attention to the Notes in this section, as identified by a small, raised number such as the one at the end of this sentence.X

Table 11-2 is divided into sections that correspond to the sections of your wire harness. (ACCESSORY

SECTION B+, DIMMER SWITCH SECTION, etc.). The index is divided vertically into six columns. COLOR,

GAUGE, NUMBER, CONNECT TO, ORIGIN, and SECTION OF ORIGIN.

The columns labeled ORIGIN and SECTION OF ORIGIN are for your reference ONLY. The items in these columns tell you where each wire originates (ORIGIN) and from which section (SECTION OF ORIGIN) of the harness.

The column labeled NO. contains a 900-series number that is used to identify various wires in the wiring diagrams that are a part of these instructions.

Many (but not all) of the wire numbers occur TWICE in this index. That is because you will be connecting

BOTH ENDS of many of the particular wire segments. However, some wire segments are pre-connected at one end. For instance, all wires originating from the fuse panel and certain other wires such as those originating from the fuse panel and certain other wires such as those originating from the horn relay, the dimmer switch, and the instrument panel section. These pre-connected wires are identified by an asterisk

(*) in the ORIGIN column.

Table 11-2 Wire Connection Index, 3 of 3

NOTES:

1. Depending upon the particular wire harness you purchased, you may not have some of these wires.

3. This section consists of only one large (10 gauge) wire.

4. From fuse panel to brake switch.

5. This wire is cut and spade lugs have been installed (GM-keyed kits only) so that your existing neutral safety switch circuit can be wired into your harness. The neutral safety switch is located at the base of General Motors and Ford steering columns and in Mopar transmissions. Do not attempt to defeat your automobile's neutral safety switch. If your automobile does not have a neutral safety switch, please install one.

6. These are two (2) wires, bonded together. One wire is Speaker POSITIVE (+) and the other wire is Speaker

NEGATIVE (-).

7. This wire needs to go from the headlight switch to the instrument panel lights.

8. There are two (2) Red 934 wires that MUST both be connected to the "Batt" terminal of the ignition switch. These wires supply all of the ignition switched power that goes to the fuse panel and both are needed because of the amount of power required to power all of the accessories.

9. This wire is power for the portion of the headlight switch that goes out to the headlights and front parking lights.

10. This wire is power for the portion of the headlight switch that goes out to the instrument panel lights and the tail lights. NOTE: This wire is only used if your headlight switch has two power input terminals.

Use this firewall opening template for the following part numbers:

Part #20101 – Camaro/Firebird Harness (18 circuit/1967 & 68)

Part #20102 - GM Muscle Car Harness (18 circuit/1969 thru 74)

Part #20103 – Universal Muscle Car Harness (12 circuit/ Non-GM column)

Part #20104 – Universal Muscle Car Harness (18 circuit/ Non-GM column)

NOTE: The template drawing on this page may not be to scale, double check your measurements with the dimensions on the drawing before cutting the opening.

WIRING CHANGES FROM ORIGINAL THAT WE HAVE INCORPORATED

A. THE HORN RELAY IS NOW MOUNTED TO THE FUSE BLOCK, TO HELP CLEAN

UP THE WIRING AT THE RADIATOR SUPPORT AREA.

B. THE MAIN POWER WIRE, A 10 GAUGE RED WIRE, NOW ATTACHES AT THE

STARTER SOLENOID(BATTERY CABLE POST)RATHER THAN THE PIGTAIL

AT THE BATTERY. WE PROVIDE IN EACH KIT A FUSIBLE LINK WIRE TO BE

USED BETWEEN THE STARTER SOLENOID AND THE 10 GAUGE WIRE. THIS

MUST BE INSTALLED TO PROTECT THE OVERALL SYSTEM FROM AN

ACCIDENTAL SHORT.

C. WE HAVE INCLUDED 2 PLASTIC HOUSINGS IN THE PARTS KIT FOR YOUR

ALTERNATOR. THE GRAY ONE IS FOR THE EARLY EXTERNALLY

REGULATED AND THE BLACK ONE IS FOR THE LATE STYLE INTERNALLY

REGULATED. THE TERMINALS ARE ALSO INCLUDED (THE SAME TERMINAL

FITS EITHER HOUSING). WE HAVE FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE

UPGRADED THEIR SYSTEM WITH LATE STYLE HIGHER OUTPUT

ALTERNATOR WHICH ALSO HELPS TO CLEAN UP THE WIRING IN THE

ENGINE COMPARTMENT.

NOTE: SEE SCHEMATIC FOR PROPER WIRE HOOKUP. THE BROWN

WIRE IN THE GROUP TAGGED "ENGINE SECTION" IS THE

WIRE THAT "TURNS ON" THE ALTERNATOR REGULATOR.

ON ORIGINAL EXTERNAL REGULATORS THIS WIRE PLUGS

INTO #4 TERMINAL OF THE REGULATOR AND ON INTERNAL

REGULATORS IT PLUGS INTO #1 AT THE ALTERNATOR.

D. THE COIL WIRE (PINK) IS FUSED FOR AN ELECTRONIC FUEL INJECTION

SYSTEM, IF USED, BUT ALSO PROVIDES FOR THEFT PROTECTION (BY

REMOVAL OF THE FUSE IT DISABLES THE IGNITION SYSTEM).

E. WE HAVE PROVIDED WIRES (BLACK/WHITE) FOR AIR CONDITIONING IN

EACH SYSTEM AND ALSO A WIRE (PURPLE/WHITE) FOR THE TACHOMETER.

F. A LENGTH OF BLACK WIRE IS INCLUDED TO PROVIDE A GROUND WIRE

FOR THE DOME LIGHT TO JAMB SWITCHES WHEN NEEDED.

G. WE HAVE INCORPORATED AN ELECTRIC FAN RELAY CIRCUIT

(GRAY/WHITE) INTO THE SYSTEM. THE MAIN LEAD WIRES GO TO THE

DASH FOR INSTALLING A MANUAL SWITCH IF DESIRED. AN ELECTRIC

FUEL PUMP CIRCUIT (YELLOW/WHITE) HAS ALSO BEEN INCORPORATED

WITH THE SAME MANUAL SWITCH OPTION.

THE ORIGINAL STEERING COLUMN 9 PORT HALF MOON FEMALE PLASTIC

HOUSING FOR THE TURN SIGNALS IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE FROM GM. WE

HAVE TERMINATED THE WIRES FOR THE TURN SIGNALS WITH THE CORRECT

TERMINALS AND COLOR CODES SO YOUR ORIGINAL PLASTIC HOUSING, OF THE

MAIN HARNESS, MAY BE REUSED.

TO REMOVE THE OLD TERMINALS FROM YOUR PLASTIC HOUSING, INSERT A

PAPER CLIP OR AN EXTRA SMALL SCREWDRIVER IN THE SMALL SLOT AT THE

TOP OF THE OPENING WHERE THE WIRE IS INSERTED AND THIS WILL RELEASE

THE TANG HOLDING THE WIRE IN PLACE. PULL THE WIRE AND IT SHOULD

RELEASE FROM THE HOUSING.

REINSTALL NEW WIRES INTO THE HOUSING IN THE SAME COLOR CODE

CONFIGURATION AS THE OLD WIRES WERE REMOVED. SEE PAGE 4 UNDER TURN

SIGNAL SECTION.

Perfect Performance Products, LLC • Painless Performance Division

20102

69 & up Muscle Car Harness

The instrument panel housing plastic connector is no longer available and varies from year to year. We have terminated the instrument panel wires with the correct terminals so that your original housing can be re-used.

Remove the old terminals by using a small screwdriver or paperclip in the slot at the top of the terminal closest to the center of the plastic housing. Push the release tang (pin) in and pull the wire out from the opposite side.

Re-install the wires in the same order by color code configuration that was removed.

If you choose to use the aftermarket gauges, simply cut the terminal ends off and use the wires according to color and function.

If you have a car with multiple instrument panel lights, use the gry 16-gauge wire marked (dash lights) as a power source to tap off of.

The wiper switch wires are terminated individually, because the plastic housing is no longer available.

Use this diagram to plug the wires in.

Wiring Changes From Original That We Have Incorporated

A. The horn relay is now mounted to the fuse block to help clean up the wiring at the radiator support area.

B. The main power wire (Red 10-gauge) now attaches at the starter solenoid

(battery cable post) rather than the pigtail at the battery. We provide in each kit a maxi-fuse to be used between the starter solenoid and the 10-gauge wire. This must be installed to protect the overall system from an accidental short.

C. We have included two (2) plastic housings in the parts kit for your alternator.

The gray one is for the early externally regulated and the black one is for the late style internally regulated. The terminals are also included (the same terminal fits either housing). We have found that many people have upgraded their system with late style higher output alternator which also helps to clean up the wiring in the engine compartment.

Note: See schematic for proper wire hookup. The brn/red wire in the group tagged “Voltage Regulator” is the wire that turns on the alternator regulator. On original external regulators this wire plugs into #4 terminal of the regulator and on internal regulators it plugs into #1 terminal at the alternator.

D. The coil wire (pnk) is fused for an electronic fuel injection system, if used, but also provides for theft protection (by removal of the fuse it disables the ignition system).

E. We have provided wires (blk/wht) for air conditioning in each system and also a wire (pur/wht) for the tachometer.

F. A length of blk wire is included to provide a ground wire for the dome light to jamb switches when needed.

G. We have incorporated an electric fan relay circuit (gry/wht) into the system. The main lead wires go to the dash for installing a manual switch if desired. An electric fuel pump circuit (ylw/wht) has also been incorporated with the same manual switch option.

The original steering column 9 port half moon female plastic housing for the turn signals is no longer available from GM. We have terminated the wires for the turn signals with the correct terminals and color codes so that your original plastic housing, of the main harness, may be re-used.

To remove the old terminals from your plastic housing, insert a paperclip or an extra small screwdriver into the small slot at the top of the opening where the wire is inserted and this will release the tang holding the wire in place. Pull the wire and it should release from the housing.

Re-install new wires into the housing in the same color code configuration as the old wires were removed. See page 4 under Turn Signal Section.

20106/20107

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

Included in this kit is a special fuse block mounting bracket for mounting the fuse block in the factory location with the original screws.

In the parts box we have included 7 special terminals for the dash indicator and illumination lights.

After routing the dash wires and cutting them to length, crimp on the provided terminals and snap on the original plastic covers. The terminals will then just push on the pin studs of the lights.

In the parts box is a special turn signal switch housing along with 6 terminals for connecting the harness to the signal switch. See the diagram below for wire pinning location. NOTE: The wire color code of the harness is late GM.

The wires to the ignition switch should be attached as follows; Purple to solenoid terminal, red to battery terminal, pink and orange to ignition 1 terminal and brown to the accessory terminal. NOTE:

If you are not using the ignition bypass circuit, most people do not any more due to better ignition systems; jump the pink wire between ignition 1 and ignition 2 terminals (tie the two terminals together).
