Hello Ford barn, Can anyone tell me how to route the tail light harness in my '46 ford? Do I run it under the headliner over the driver door and down the A pillar or under the rug to the power source?
Thanks, Mike Jackson

Let me start by saying that I am not a 46 guy, but based on the wiring diagram on Mac Van Pelt’s website I would say it definitely does not go in the headliner. Attached is a link to this diagram. It looks like it attaches at the same location as the headlight harness, which I guess is in the engine compartment. Then, I think the harness would route along the inside of the frame rail, similar to my 1937.

I will let the real 1946-48 guys correct my mistakes.
 
Thanks Zeke,
I have seen that diagram but was uncertain. My car was a shell when I bought it and I have purchased all new original wire harnesses. Now for the daunting task of rewiring it!
Thanks again, Mike
 
Taillight harness hooks up down near the bottom of the firewall and is routed thru the frame. I just rewired my 46 and a few years ago did my 42 which is almost identical. Used the Dennis Carpenter harnesses. The sequence I used was 1) under dash harness 2) headlight/horn harness and three taillight harness last.
