Wiring help, please
I need a bit of assistance on wiring. The truck has sat for two and a half years while I was slowly restoring it. Everything worked before it was parked, but finally re-hooking up wiring, I have no headlights. The fuses are all good, but lemme tell ya, the fuse block under the hood on the drivers side is HACKED. I don't know how it ever worked, P.O. had splices, wraps, etc. I'd really like to re-do that completely, as it's corroded as well.
Bottom line, I need to know what each one of those fuses does. If anyone can send a pic of a good one, that'd be great.
I have a courier book, not sure the wiring is the same.
If you can send pic/info to paynemw@charter.net, I'd be grateful.
Tips and suggestions welcome!

Take a look in the photo gallery, there are three photos of a chilton wiring diagram in the wiring album.

Are all of your ground connections...
...to *bare* metal, and test out excellent? You'll also want one of those small spray cans of "de-ox-it" type electronics contact cleaner, a tiny bit of that can work wonders...

Thanks for the advise, I'm sure that's one of my many issues. I'd love to find a source to replace that garbage fuse box under the hood. I tried 'painless wiring', they don't show anything at all for our trucks.
Any other sources you guys know of?

Could I possibly talk one of you fine fellows into a picture of a fuse block showing correct wires? Mainly the red/white wire (12V constant) that seems to be in the same 'trunk' as a green (could be black..such a rewire hack job I'm just not sure) wire that shows to be ground.
5 of the 7 fuses on one side of the block are all tied together as one connection, the other two are seperate. This may not even be an original block for all I know.
A photo would be a big help if any of you have the time, thanks.
