Detailed Description

Motormite 85825 is a parking light bulb socket assembly engineered for direct electrical repair where the original socket has worn, corroded, or lost proper terminal contact. The 2-wire layout and female terminal design are important for matching the original harness configuration, especially on 1970-1973 Ford Bronco rear parking light bulb socket applications and 1973-1974 Ford E-100 Econoline 2-wire harness parking light bulb socket applications. It also cross-references D1AZ13410B for the same application.

This socket assembly is also listed for 1973-1976 Mercury Montego and select Ford E-100 Econoline and Bronco applications. Because terminal gender must match the original socket, verify the existing connector before installation. The part number 85825 is a practical replacement when the original parking light socket has heat damage, broken terminals, or intermittent lighting contact.
