Photos of the mess. Today, I'll figure out the particular circuit and fuse it accordingly by replacing the 15a to whatever it's circuit controls that will be different than 15a. Don't want fuses that are too small, nor too large for amp draw.

So far, everything works, starts, lights, blower motor is better than ever, windows again at the speed of light. Today I'll take the wife out to pick up materials about an hour away, but I'm confident it will be a nice relaxing uneventful time.

haha, yeah, breakdown guaranteed.


New lead from main terminal to new fuse panel

New FP mounted

Wiring installed, organized, loomed and ready to roll

So far it all works.

This is the panel I bought, which is designed for boat use. The one on the left is to replace the other one under the hood for all my accessories, including the plow. Time to clean up the rats nest and organize properly.


new panels

Took about an hour to figure out what controlled what. Had the truck, everything turned on, and individually pulled each fuse
Some things, such as the overdrive circuit are powered through one of the fuses, or through some other piggyback, but so far, everything functions.
I'll put the 5 amp fuses in the 6&7 position till I confirm they don't blow

Good to have it back running again. Now all I got to do is deal with that **** roof rotting issue, and I can keep it forever.
;-(

I don't know about that pink wire though. Don't want to misgender somebody.
