TODAY is a Great Day to visit our Store and order the parts you need for your truck!
...When you speak of ignition switch are you refering to the one on top of the column or the one in the column. I may be getting my parts mixed up. I replace the one on top of the column. It was hard to reach and I had to lower the column to get to it. Everyone I have spoken to so far besides you have said that was the issue so I went with it and replaced it. So not my issue!!
Well I found a baby blue wire jumped in with the ignition. But didn't hook to anything else. Removed the wire and truck start and turns off now. Not sure what the baby blue wire was for. Everything seems to be working without it.
...Another part of this that has me baffled is that their is a wire on the battery connector that heats up when the lights are turned on and only when they are on. I tell you, the wiring in this truck is driving me crazy.
The white wire that comes out of the distributor connects to the large pink wire. Then that wire goes all the way to the fuse box. Boy was that a pain to follow. The red wire that comes out of the distributor is not connected to anything. Now for the other issues - somebody used the baby blue wire as a jumper from the pink wire to an orange wire that stays hot at all times. I think it was tied into the parking brake. The parking brake light used to stay on all the time. Now it doesn't. Not sure what the purpose of the jumper would be. I believe the issue with the cable on the battery is that the gauge is wrong. I have attached a picture of the wire at the batter and where they connected it to a red wire.Lastly, it may sound stupid but the last photo I posted...... what is it?
