Hows the wiring coming along? If you need help, have any questions or need a wiring diagram let me know. One pointer that I can say helped me in doing my wiring is that I used electrical screw wire terminals. It allows you to easily hook up and disconnect things and you can use different colors for the wires that you have traced and checked....Once you get everything working you can remove them one by one and solder and heat shrink everything.

I thought my wiring was going to be a nightmare when I started it but the prep work is what made it easy. I printed off wiring diagrams for each vehicle and color coded the pages so I could look up both schematics at the same time. Made everything mostly easy!

noticz thx for the message. I think my project is a little different than yours. I'm doing 1997 ranger running gear into my 87 B2. I'm using the B2 headlight harness to which handles all of the accessories. Lights and such. I'm using the complete 97 ranger underhood harness. Engine harness and PDB and computer. The interior fuse box will service the interior and lights. Under the hood PDB will service the running gear. I sure like those electrical manuals where did you get them? I could use some for my trucks.. THX David
