98 to 60 conversion

I have everything done on the 98 to 60 b0dy swap except the wireing, I saved all the harness but did not keep the things that I thought I wouldnt need, now when I turn on the key there is a relay in the box under the hood that keeps clicking and I dont know what it is because I dont have a diagram for the fuse boxes, also can anyone tell me what I can and can not remove from the 98 ranger and it still run, like anti theft, seat belt sensiors, wheel speed etc, when I try to start the truck there is a box under the dash that buzzes it does not have any #'s or markings on it. I have the 98 steering column and instrument pannel it the 60 truck along with all the wireing harness under the dash and under the hood I just unplugged everything with the idea that it would only plug back up in its correct location ( boy was I wrong!!) can anyone help?

Welcome to FTE! Got any pics of your conversion? We would love to see'em.

You might want to check in the forum for the 1998 trucks. You can also download a schematic from the web.

Osiyo is right, the 1998 guys might know better than us. What size is the box that's buzzing? I used to have a truck that didn't have a headlight buzzer for when you turned the truck off and left your lights on. I left my lights on a lot and so I went to the parts store and bought a little universal black box for that purpose, maybe 1"X2" that I plugged into the fuse box and when I left the lights on it would buzz. Maybe your box is one of those?
