[QUOTE="ttocs, post: 1250734, member: 11896"] oh wow that sounds like a hell of a project under perfect situation but there are a couple of things working against you. The biggest problem I see with it is that I never found the wiring schematics on the foxes, and even a little bit on the sn's to be all that accurate. It was not uncommon at all while installing an alarm/remote start to basically throw out the factory color code I had and start checking/probing random wires to find what I needed. To make that even worse I found the indicators(stripes on the wires) often wore off years ago on the foxes so you will probably find a lot of solid colored wires possibly with some spots where the indicators did not rub off. So for example the door locks use 5 wires all pink as their main color but with different colored stripes on them(pink/green, pink/yellow, pink/red) but by now you will only find 5 pink wires... Man when I think of how thick the hrns is that goes along the top of the dash containing everything from the instrument cluster too the door locks it makes me rub my forehead thinking about it all..... So as far as giving you copies of two pages that explains what each specific wire is, where it is and what it does - I would have to say that the mantra for wiring is test twice cut once.
