Climate control wire colors??

[TactialMonkey]

Does any one have a wiring diagram for the automatic climate control in the first gens? Like the colors and what they go to? I am converting the automatic to manual as some of you may know and I would love some help on the wiring thanks!

It is not a simple plug and play switch, it is worth getting the factory manual to do this. I would also expect they used different connectors between the two systems.

I have wires out of the manual climate control and then the wires from the automatic climate control but I don't know which colors to match up the factory repair manual makes little sense to me

If you have the Ford Wiring Diagrams book then that is your bible for this. You should see what is common on both schematics first - color coding for the same wire, relay wiring etc. After that you could list the changes that need to be made.

Also if you could make copies of the pages you need, then place them side by side, you avoid the switching back and forth in the book. Bounce back and forth for 15-20 mins and you'll be confused.

Looked at the first page of both:
There are around 17 pages of wiring diagrams on each of the two a/c controls. You've picked a good wiring project, some of the color coding is the same between the two. It can be done with some good planning.

I'd grab a harness from a donor and any other parts you need to make things easier. Then it is a simpler change - all the wiring is correct, plugs are correct and in the right location in the harness.

haha I have the shop manual but not wiring digram but I am trying to get it all together with out the whole disassembly of the dash for a plug

either my book is incomplete or im no good at this stuff I have no clue what to do... I need some of your magic stamp! I can only find the circuit color guide for the manual climate control

If I have some free time this weekend or suffer from insomnia I'll take a look at it. One other thing to consider is if there is a difference in the actuators for the blend door, selector etc. That is why I suggest a donor for all the parts needed.

I take it you can't "read" wiring schematics. If not, I'll give you a crash course without the math so you don't turn the expy into a smoker.

I don't have the schematic book haha all I have is volume 1 and 2 I was in vol 2 looking for the wiring diagrams and came up with 2 tables and circuit numbers

There are at least 8 official Ford wiring manuals for a 99 expedition on ebay now starting around $20 with free shipping. Well worth the investment for what your wanting to do.
Once you see how it is wired you'll appreciate having the manual.

Update

I have an update for this I have 7 or 8 wires to connect still but have no idea where they go can any one help I have the Brown orange, purple,purple white..... Then brown with yellow and yellow red and green white and orange black does this 5 pin go to the white blue red green brown connector by the OBDI port??

What happened to your wiring manual that was on the way?

 

[TactialMonkey]

its here but the wires are out of a f150 not an expy

 

[stamp11127]

I'd wire according to the Expedition diagrams and forget the rest once all is operational. I would expect a few wires would need repositioning in the connectors to stay the same as the manual. If you change wire colors on a circuit make note of it in your manual to save you headaches in the future.
