Also, consider putting the headlights on their own relays to eliminate future issues and improve brightness. LMC and other outlets sell the harnesses. There are threads on this site about how to install the relay setup in a do-it-yourself manner, if so inclined.
Great idea to put headlamps on dedicated relays to lighten switch load. I will do that as a future project. Thanks!!

I can't get the 1994 manual anymore either, that needs to be fixed by the admins. 1995 is virtually the same but the wiring diagrams are much easier to follow.

They are hosted on someones google drive, for the 94, it wants me to log in..... which shouldn't be happening. The 95 loads up ok though. (granted its 1700 and some change pages, so, it takes a bit.....) I don't know whose google drive it was... might have to re-host my copy somewhere else.
