I decided to undo the years of hob job wiring in the rear end and put in a nice weather resistant junction box. Well I cut the whole harness just in front of a small chasis support as it was the closest place I could get all original wiring. There's a total of I believe 8 wires. I have 5 identified, and if memory serves me correctly, last time I was wiring this truck it had a wire dead ended from factory so that puts me at two mystery wires. Anyone have the wire functions and respective colors for these 8 wires? I've got both turn signals, reverse, ground, and marker. 1 wire is a factory option and the next two ??? Thanks for any help.

I looked at my chiltons manual this morning but that didn't do much good. I think I'm going to get some WD-40 on a rag and wire down the wires, get them nice and clean and do some color hunting. Just a shot in the dark here but I'm wodering if one of those wires is my ground for the low fuel light that doesn't work.

 

Wipe down the wires***

 

So these are the colors of the 8 wires...
Black/yellow
Grey
Violet/black
Grey
Brown/green
Violet/black
Grey
Green/brown

Gonna spend some time with the wiring diagrams.
