Turkey day woes ez wiring

First off happy turkey day. Im going through my truck wiring after a botched attempt from a family member to wire my truck. i got stuck with a half eway wired truck and short 300 dollars. for the money i could have bought the painless wiring kit and done it myself. Enough ranting I am having issue with my front parking lamps turning on, issue with power to all my accs all the time, issue with my temp sensor. i think thats it. I have brake lights and blinkers. I have lights to my gauge cluster. If anyone has a labled picture of the ign switch and head light switch it would help me out a ton. thanks in advance for any help.

Re: Turkey day woes ez wiring

read the link in my signature about putting the year and model of your truck in your signature

shooting in the dark without a year
front parking lamps would be powered off your headlight switch; some have 1 hot, some have 2 hots
temp sensor is all add on wiring to the ezwire harness, did you hook it up?

Re: Turkey day woes ez wiring

The harness I get to go through is pretty hacked. I don't believe the ez temp wire is hooked up. I did hook the sender to the green wire on the gauge cluster. If I add a hot wire to the post on the gauge it works.

Here's a picture of the headlight switch for 69 and newer.

Here's a picture of a key switch I can list the wires if you don't know where they go.

Here's a picture of the cluster wiring for a gauge dash.

Name:  Dash  Layout Final.jpg

The pink wire that goes to terminal 3 is the hot feed to the dash.

If you have dash lights the cluster is grounded. The key on the left tells what wires go where, if you can read it.

Re: Turkey day woes ez wiring

the pic of the headlight switch is a little misleading as it lists the orange wire for dome/courtesy
the orange wire is also a 12v+ feed from your fuse panel, it just happens to go to the dome/courtesy too
red feeds your headlights and instrument panel lights; orange feeds marker and all other lights

since you have the ezwire harness; your stop/turn is fed separately from the panel
you could jumper red to orange on the switch, there would be a posibility of overloading the headlight circuit
you could also power the orange from the panel with an unused circuit

this is an older switch diagram, your switch should be similar also a similar thread here
