Re: Anybody got wiring diagrams for an 86 2.8?
Ok I got it figured out. The orange wire to the headlight switch wasnt getting power, corroded contacts on the fuse and its plugs in the box. Cleaned hem up, got power to the orange wire, now the black wire sends out power when the switch is on. I found the side marker lights get power from the swit...
