If you’re the proud owner of a vintage 1965 Mustang, you know that keeping it in tip-top shape is essential. One important part of that process is ensuring your brake light switch is properly wired up and working correctly. While this may seem like a daunting task at first, with a few simple tools and a bit of knowledge, you can easily wire up a 1965 Mustang brake light switch yourself.
To start, you’ll need a few supplies – electrical tape, wire cutters, a flat-head screwdriver, and a multimeter. Once you have those, it’s time to begin. First, locate the brake light switch on the driver side of your 1965 Mustang. It should be found near the bottom of the steering column. Remove any screws or bolts holding the switch in place, then remove the switch from the steering column.
Next, use the multimeter to test the switch for continuity. If there is no continuity, the switch will need to be replaced. If it does show continuity, you can proceed to the wiring process. Take the electrical tape and wrap it around the two wires connected to the switch. This will provide a secure connection and ensure that they won’t come loose when you’re driving. Now, take the flat-head screwdriver and connect the two wires to the corresponding terminals on the switch.
Finally, reattach the switch to the steering column and use the multimeter to test it one more time. You should now have a properly wired 1965 Mustang brake light switch that’s ready for the road. With a bit of patience and some basic knowledge, wiring up your brake light switch can be a breeze. Just remember to stay safe and take all necessary precautions when dealing with any electrical wiring.
