    HELP! what are these wires for!?!

    That top one looks like one that plugs into the fuse box. I want to say lower right hand side as your looking at it. BUT I am going by memory as I am at work.

    Fuse blows instantly.

    Also look under the drivers side door sill. The wiring for the dome lights run under there and are known to short out there.

    no head/tail or inst. lights. but....

    Just my luck... the 1.8 in it IS an interference motor. It's toast.....

    I'm assuming it is. In addition to the chain breaking it has oil all over the front. It may be saveable but I need to tear into it and I would rather put that energy and funds into the truck.

    Been daily driving the truck for the last 4 days. So far no problems but I did end up replacing the starter. The wiring has held up but the starter had to be "tapped" several times to get it to work. Since the change there has been no problems. Thanks to the timing chain exploding...

    OK... sorry it took me so long to update this. I had surgery a year ago on my dominate wrist/hand and I had a flair up so I wasn't able to test the wiring until a friend stopped by yesterday. Also I figure I am repeating myself on this but I thought a summary was better than just an, "it...

    I need HELP!! Lights switch and ignition??

    See if I did this right.... The two smaller red wires on the large "Pole" (top) with the black wire are what we mean when we say the "Fuse link or Fusible link". One or both, (Can't remember) supply power to the light switch harness.

    Follow the large black cable from the Positive down to the starter. Where it connects at the starter their should be a fusible link from their that goes into the wiring harness (and then its just regular wiring). that will eventually lead to the Firewall and ultimately connect Just to the left...

    I need HELP!! Lights switch and ignition??

    Going off of memory so excuse me if I am wrong.... Plus I am still learning with my own truck... Stand on the passenger side of the truck looking into the engine compartment. Look down at the starter. There should be the selonoid (bad spelling lol) on top of the starter. There will be...

    Ouch.... That wire nut is made for house wiring not auto electric. That could be part of the problem. With it exposed and wet your going to ground out in all the wrong places.

    I need HELP!! Lights switch and ignition??

    The no lights and the engine cranking is EXACTLY what mine did. I would check that fusible link and all connections at the starter. It seems strange but all the light power comes off of the starter lead and one of those fuse links. I drove mine for a few days without lights until the...

    no head/tail or inst. lights. but....

    WOW.... Thanks Chengny for your excellent response. Rep points will be added to you for sure. The "Purple" wire was very loose, in fact I was able to turn the bolt maybe two times by hand and it fell out. The wire itself looks "cooked" with exposed wire showing for about three inches. My...
