1979 Ford Bronco F100-F350 Power Distribution & Charging System Wiring Diagram

Power distribution and charging system wiring schematic (Bronco/F100-350) showing fuse links A-J, junction block, accessory safety relay, alternator and starter relay circuits with/without gauges.

This page from a Ford factory-style wiring diagram set (labeled for 1979 Bronco and F100 through F350 trucks) covers two circuits: Power Distribution and the Charging System. The Power Distribution section shows the battery, auxiliary battery, starter relay, accessory safety relay, junction block, and fuse links A through J, with wire color codes (bl/bk, bk/r, bk/o, bk/y, bk/w, y/bk, r/o, bk/gr, gr/r, w/bk) and splice/connector identifiers (S201, S202, S203, S209, S211, S212, S803, S1102, C206, C208, C1205). Bronco-only branches feed the power tailgate window switch and power tailgate accessory relay (see page 38), while F100-350-only branches feed a lamp relay (page 33) and, on trucks without an auxiliary battery, a camper dome light. Routing differences for trucks with and without gauges (ammeter vs. alternator warning light with 500-ohm resistor) are shown. The Charging System section diagrams the alternator regulator, alternator (with +, stator, and field terminals), choke heater, radio noise capacitor, and connectors C205, C210, and C212. Cross-references point to exterior lighting, trailer brake/lamp circuits (page 18), and marker lamp relay (page 14).

Frequently asked questions

Which fuse links are shown in the 1979 Ford truck power distribution diagram?
Fuse Links A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, and J are shown. Fuse Link A is on a bl/bk wire, B on bk/r, C on bk/o, D and E on bk/y, G (Bronco Only) on bk/r, H on bk/o, and J on bk/y wires.
What circuits are Bronco-only in this diagram?
The Bronco-only section feeds the Power Tailgate Power Window Switch and the Power Tailgate Accessory Relay (both referenced to page 38) via bk/w wires through splice S211, and Fuse Link G is marked 'Bronco Only'.
How does the charging indicator differ with and without gauges?
Trucks with gauges use an ammeter connected through C206/C208 on r/o and y/bk wires; trucks without gauges use an alternator warning light with a 500-ohm resistor connected through C208 at connectors marked PC.
What components are shown in the charging system?
The alternator regulator, alternator (with + terminal, stator terminal on w/bk wire, and field terminal on o wire), choke heater, radio noise capacitor, and connectors C205, C210, and C212.
What applies only to F100-350 trucks without an auxiliary battery?
A branch at splice S803 (bk/gr and r wires) feeding the camper dome light exterior lighting is marked 'Only for F100-350 Without Aux. Bat.'
