96 GT Cobra Swap (Need Help)

[Rob96cobra]

Hi

I need some help / advice please, I'm currently in the process of a cobra swap into my GT and I found a extra connector on the cobra harness that I can't figure out what it is, if it's important and I wanted this swap to be as plug and play as possible, note that I'm in CA smog sucks out here I was trying to be legit as possible swapping over all the emissions stuff as well. Car I'm doing the swap on is a 96 gt coupe, I purchased a wrecked complete 96 cobra convertible. (I know you can use the gt computer with a tune & the gt engine harness when modified) but I have everything from the cobra and was hoping it would be a simple swap for the most part. Motor is in, I will be using the cobra engine harness, cobra passenger fender harness and the cobra computer. Now where I'm confused I was hoping I could just use the gt passenger fender harness read somewhere that this is possible BUT the gt passenger fender harness does not have the connectors for the smog pump mounted in the fender, I felt just swapping out the fender harness would be the easiest instead of pulling apart both harnesses and modifying the gt one... so after checking them both out the cobra passenger fender harness has a extra connector and im lost can't find anything on it. The connector plugs in by the computer has 4 wires in it (Red, white w/ red, & 2 green w/ yellow) pic's are the cobra passenger fender harness and extra unknown connector.

It looks like a relay connector. What it goes to though I’m sure others would know.

Thanks buddy I was just looking at my Hanes book and I found it looks to be a fuel pump relay, if anyone has a 96-97 cobra and could take a picture of how it's mounted would be awesome, I want everything to look oem I'm picky

Is there any sort of bracket in the kick panel? It looks like the harness itself slides onto a bracket sort of like those older style Ford relays that have a little clip like thing on it. If any of that makes sense lol.

Yea I know what your talking about, the car is a GT and the GT harness does not have that relay, I guess only 4v's have that additional fuel pump relay, my parts car is long gone and I would like to see how it mounts to keep it looking original... not even sure what size relay it is cant ever seem to find much on these year cobras out there, my dad has a 01 cobra crossing my fingers I can get some ideas off that but the electrical is totally different I think. Thanks again for the help blackstang

Thanks bro appreciate it, that thing is tucked! Well I get the idea I guess I can relocate it to a easier access spot it's just a relay... need to find the correct relay for it if anyone knows, electrical was always my weakness.

Might get easy access up there removing the glove box... I'll check tonight I already got mine off.
