Re: What did you do to your truck today?

This idiot had the ignition and accessory circuits tied to gether via the headlight switch some way that defies logic. The gauge wiring was connected to the front turn signals in the same manner. I can't believe anything worked or that it didn't burn to the ground. Anyhow, after clipping and reconnecting a few wires and some tidying up I'm on the way to having this mess fixed. Thankfully he didn't butcher the harness, only did some strange circuitry.

If was any of you guys that did this, you're an idiot!
Thomas I feel you pain w/po, mine did not understand the concept of color coding by adding wires of a different color and gauge. All you can do is fix it and wonder what on earth were they thinking? Good luck..Vernski
