Ok well for the starter, I found the two posts in the starter relay that turn over the engine, now I just have to wire those into the cab to the momentary switch.

Next is the getting power to the ignition.

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

Got power running thru the ignition switch on the column and it switches on the relay inside the under-hood fuse box.

Just got gauges, well the odo and warning lights. Batt and water temp don't work. Probably just some more wires I have to energize in this ignition harness. But progress!

Also the odo says NO BUS.

Full detail post later on.

Haha I pray it doesn't have any kinks after this.

The No Bus is most likely a grounding issue with the pcm or any computer related grounds. I read that if the system sees a difference of 1.0v or greater it will throw a no bus.

Ok gauges work, oil pressure, battery voltage, and water temp are working. Success!

I'll take care of the no bus issue tomorrow, want to do some more in depth searching on that issue.

Pink and black wire is the 12v constant coming in from the ignition harness.

Big and small blue wires (well at least the big one) runs the gauges, small blue turns on the ignition according to the wiring diagrams. I just hooked the small blue wire up because I heard it engage a relay when given 12v in the under-hood fuse box.

Purple/white and Red/orange are the high and low beams. So I wired these to be on at the same time since the lows originally sucked huge *****
