This document is page 4 of 4 of a Mitchell International wiring diagram (copyright 1994) covering 1981 through 1983 Ford F-Series trucks and Broncos, focused on the rear compartment and accessory circuits. It shows the instrument panel printed circuit pinouts in two versions—with gauges (17 positions including tach, amp gauge, fuel/temp/oil gauges, directional and high-beam indicators) and without gauges (12 positions with warning lights). Circuits diagrammed include roof marker lights (5 used), stop/directional, tail, back-up, and license lights, the tailgate power window motor, limit switch and switch (Bronco-specific items marked with an asterisk), heated rear window grid, electric mirrors and mirror switch, power window regulator switches and motors, power door lock motors and switches, dome and courtesy lights, cargo light, seat belt buckle switch and seat belt timer/warning switch, fuel gauge senders (single, mid, and aft tank) with fuel tank selector solenoid and switch, cruise control switch (off/on/set/coast/resume), glove box light, marker light relay, trailer package relay, and a trailer tow package connector legend (battery, left stop/dir, back-up, tail/marker, right stop/dir). Wire color codes (e.g., ORG-LT BLU, BLK-PNK, RED-YEL, LT GRN-YEL) are labeled throughout, making this useful for tracing rear lighting, power accessory, and fuel gauge wiring.
