Reta

Bought a 1988 Comanche Sunday. Sat in a field for 20 years. It’s all there. Rust only in one area so far, driver floor pan. 
 

4.0 ba15 short bed

 

58,112.5 miles on the clock
 

Motor turned over with jumpers on the leads, and the right headlight turns on! Safe to say some electrical or likely grounding issues in general though. 
 

I’ll slowly plug away at it, get it running and driving first, then some “tasteful” mods as I make it look “new” again.

Took the rack off.

 

Cleaned up everything. 

 

Spliced some wires back together, which fixed nothing as far as I can tell. 
 

Vacuum leaks. Vacuum leaks everywhere. 
 

Also floor pans are more of a priority than I originally thought.

Electrical gremlins.

Took the advice I found here and ripped the carpet out asap. 
 

Considering the state of the engine and floorpans, it’s officially a flinstone mobile.

After splicing all the (3-4) broken/chewed wires back together, I’m left with one that I can’t tell yet where it goes. 
 

It’s poorly attached to a Gray wire coming out from behind the driver side headlight then a good chunk of exposed wire. 
 

My brief glance at the wiring schematics has me hoping it’s for a window washer reservoir/pump that is also non existent, which would easily explain why I can’t figure out where it plugs into. 
 

Otherwise happy with where I got it to today, will just keep slowly plugging away at it.

Sounds like the HORN wire. Correct color code for wire.

Oh yeah I forgot I had seen that too. That was my second choice and more likely I think. 

 

I mixed up the loose plugs in-between the airbox and brake booster with the one in the pic.
