Unfortunately I can't help with the seat positions, I'll post up what I did to rewire the headlight switch I'm not sure if it works yet though because my battery is dead but I'll check it out soon. Let me dig up my window wiring, the passenger side doesn't change but the drivers side if I remember correctly I rewires only 2 or 3 wires.

Just checking to see if you
Have had any luck with those diagrams of how to wire mirrors and or drivers side window switch assembly. There are not many out there with 08 door panels and mirrors. Sorry if being a pita just trying to make progress if possible. Also if you ever finished or can locate the headlight and dimmer wiring that is also something I have had problems with.
Thanks for any help

Lol no worries man don't worry your not a PITA that's what this forum is for, Ill check my photobucket to see if i have them on there and if not ill pull them from my diagram CD for you and post them up. what year is your truck so i can get both diagram for 08 and your year to be accurate. I have had to worst time with the headlight and dimmer switch as well. I am debating getting an LED dimmer because i will be getting new gauges anyway and that's the only thing that dims now because i have an aftermarket radio that doesn't dim anymore. Sorry i have not been responsive lately i popped the question to my girlfriend last night so that's been on my mind and taking up my time for a while lol but now I'm free again...well sorta lol .

Whenever you get a chance. I am still occupied with getting the Ranger to pass inspection.

Yeah my mom is a manager at the local bank so it only took a half hour to do lol.

I'll get them for you tonight man i feel bad ab out it i remembered as soon as i saw your post lol. Whats up with the ranger isn't it old enough to pass with just safety? My 95 will pass *** long as it stops and goes, it's emissions exempt, only thing is if i have any rot holes then it wont pass which i have one i hope they just don't see lol.

Lol. That's convenient.

Its no prob. Mine has to pass the same inspection and emission that a brand new vehicle does. I am only emissions exempt if I put less than 5000 miles on it a year. I drive it more than that .

In my opinion, it is very hard to pass inspection in PA. Its all subjective, but I failed inspection one year for having an aftermarket intake. Then I failed it again because I put the stock one back on, but did not put the hose on that goes from the intake to the surface of the header to draw warm air off of it when its cold out.

If it fails, I'll probably just take it to another garage until it passes

Thats ridiculous, same here except for when they plug the OBDII in everything else is subjective and can pass at one place or fail at the next.

premier3216, do you have any pics of your excursion? I have an 01 that I am about to start a dash build and interior conversion on and would love to get ideas or see how it turned out on yours.
