The ignition switch went out on the truck in my sig a few days ago. I wasn't in a huge hurry to get it fixed at the time. Then it turned out that I was going to need it this week. I was having a hard time trying to find the switch in time so I decided I would go with a toggle switch and push button for the starter since I had everything I needed laying around. Just until I could get a new switch in.

I got it all wired up no problem, turned out that the battery was also dead. Bought a new battery and when I put it in a bunch of the harness fried. I pulled the cables right away and once the smoke cleared i got to see the damage.

The way it looks right now the easiest thing to do is get a new harness and rewire the whole truck. The problem is that I can't seem to find one anywhere.

Does anyone know where I could find one. I haven't had any luck with junk yards. I've even looked into the painless setups but it looks like they only have one for Mopars and it only goes up to 76 i believe.

I have been thinking about doing this since I got the truck. I don't have much of a choice right now. I think I am about the 5th owner and the wiring was real bad before i started on it. At one time it was a fire truck in Texas, and went all over the country after that. There are wire nuts and loose wires everywhere under both the hood and dash.

 

You must have wired it wrong and fried the harness. No one to my knowledge is making them so you will have to find one in a junk yard or ebay. May try craigs list for someone junking a truck that you could get it out of. And buy a wiring diagram, They are mandatory for a job like this!

 

I've been trying to track down a good wiring diagram. Anyone have any ideas on where I could find one.

 

I would likely be in BOOK form on that one. Those had fusible links too.

Try locating a used one on Car-Part.com. You'll be surprised how many used/recyclers are near you that you didn't know about.
