Part of 1992-1996 Ford Bronco Wiring Diagrams
This document is a connector pinout diagram for connector C279 (natural color), the Rear Window Defrost Control connector, filed by the uploader for a 1996 Ford Bronco. The top portion shows a face view of the 5-pin connector with circuit numbers and wire colors called out for each cavity: circuit 186 (brown/light blue), 185 (black), 8 (orange/yellow), 57 (black), and 19 (light blue/red). Below the drawing, a table lists each pin, its circuit number and wire color, and the circuit function: Pin 1 is circuit 186 (BR/LB), power for the rear window defrost grid; Pin 2 is circuit 185 (BK), power hot at all times; Pin 3 is circuit 8 (O/Y), power hot in run; Pin 4 is circuit 57 (BK), ground; and Pin 5 is circuit 19 (LB/R), switch illumination. A reader can use this diagram to identify wires at the rear window defroster control switch, verify power, ground, and illumination circuits, and troubleshoot a non-working rear defrost grid or switch backlight. The document itself carries no printed year or model designation.
