I've still got a couple wiring bugs on my '87 V10 after rebuilding it with an '84 cab. It has a 350 TBI. I need some pictures of the under dash wiring to make sure all my grounds are correct, there's a couple stray plugs. I still can't get the low beams to work after cleaning the grounds off the headlight harness in the engine bay (high beams work fine, all 4 headlighs light up), I need to connect a ground wire for the rear light harness to get that working and for some reason my windshield wipers don't work and the passanger's power window does not go down, it only goes up. I know I should take apart that harness and clean it. The dimmer switch does work because the parking lights all work and I can dim the dash lights. This truck is gonna be PA inspected in a few weeks. The PO did a shotty job at the headlight wiring, there's a ton of splicing for accessories that I removed

Can I have some pictures of the wiring inside the cab and help with the wipers? I swapped a steering column and I have no idea if the wiper switch is any good, I'm going to swap back the old one and test it

When you click off the high beams, does the indicator on the dash go out? Is there power at the headlight plugs for the low beans?

When i flip on the high beams, I don't get the blue indicator on the dash. Another thing, I got the brake lights working but they don't illuminate just as running lights, they only come on when i hit the brake pedal. Are all these lights on the same circuit in terms of running/low beams? I'll check for power to the lights when i flip on the low beams.

Those pictures are good, do you have any pictures tracing those ground plugs to the left?
