Just working on my pickup and would like to clean up some of the wiring. Blinkers aren’t working and power locks/windows not working.

Is there a good diagram for what these should look like? Which size fuses are correct and all? I guess I need a good wiring diagram.

Here’s my 82 SWB ac auto fuse panel.

Large pink wire at the top of panel just below the silver circuit breaker should be the windows.

One of the orange wires plugged in the panel is probably locks


Doesn’t look too messy, looks like unmolested factory wiring. I’d fix this though:

Friggin Eagle eye @CalSgt !

Was gonna say the same thing. That looks about as clean, original and un-farked with as any old truck could have.

Neutral safety switch. Mount on lower part of column on top. You will see slot for that brown tab to slide into the column and move with the shifter

Ok thanks. I figured it was something like that. Just couldn’t figure out how to mount it. It’s been a while since I’ve worked on any of this stuff.

Ok thanks. Looks like I might be missing that mounting bracket.
The switch in OP's picture fits both older and newer columns, instead of a bolted bracket the plastic tabs just snap onto the column. If your column has the threaded inserts for the bolt on bracket they just pry out with a screw driver, the plastic tabs snap into those holes.

I couldn't find any close ups of how it snaps in, this is the best I got:
