First. This wire is CUT and added a butt connector that go nowhere.


This one is Also CUT, it has two wires coming down to one.


This one is also CUT but is connected to what the that button looking thing to the left


This one is Guess...CUT just comes from the braid of wires behind it.


This one isnt cut but when i disconnected everything this was tucked behind some other wires.


Just there with a boot.


Missing wires

Having trouble deciding what colours you have there.

In pic 2, the green wire could be the one that's supposed to be going to your fuel gauge switch
Pic 3 is the warning light for low brake fluid.

I'm thinking you need to grab the wiring diagram manual for your truck and start systematically inventory-ing what wires are cut and/or abused. *****-nilly splicing is never ever a good thing...

Oops. I thought it looked like two greens coming into a butt-connector then becoming a red...
