Important California Emissions / Build Date Information

1997 trucks used different engine harness configurations. Verify your truck's emissions equipment and build date before ordering.

F7TZ-9A451-CA
Standard/Federal-emissions 1997 engine harness application. This harness should not be used when the truck requires the California-emissions harness.

Before Ordering

Check the emissions configuration and build date on your truck. California-emissions trucks may require F7TZ-9A451-EA rather than F7TZ-9A451-CA.

If your truck is equipped with California emissions, the correct California-emissions harness is required for the system to function properly.
