Anyone know what the wire color was for the radio in a 55 Vickey, I  don't see it in the schematic. Thanx, Gary

The only mention that I can find is a black wire with a blue tracer.

That black wire with a blue tracer is listed as Fordomatic Dial Light.No other radio related wire is on the schemetics that I have.

Oldmics, coming off of the radio is a black while with a fuseable link, no blue tracer, whoever had the car before me cut the wire off on the power side of the fuse with about an inch of black wire left on it.

I'm finding the other black wire in the schematic is going to the heater switch, and it's also fused, I'm thinking Ford tied into this for the radio? The fuse is a buss SFE 9?

Gary! I could be wrong but it may have been directly from ignition switch with the inline fuse holder.In my 56 shop manual it is directly to accessory terminal on the ignition switch.

  

Mark, does it say what size fuse is used?

i have a dash out of a 55 Ford which i think still has the wiring harness and radio still in it,i will check it out in a couple days Carl

Hi Gary! The fuse for 56 is 5amp.That should be the same for 55.The radio pilot light is plugged into the harness.There is a multi connector in the harness behind the radio.The male bullet terminal plugs into it.Comes on when the headlights are turned on.I was under the dash on my buddys 55 this afternoon plugging in the pilot light wire.I think the reason you cant see the radio power wire in the schematics is because it is an inline fuseholder direct from the ignition switch.

  

'55 radio fuse was 9 (nine) amp from factory.
