Question Inside dash wiring???

I want to conect the cruse control on my 79 Bronco(the guy that had it before me said he unpluged it for some reason), because I have the dash off right now and would like to connect it but I don't know where it is or what it looks like.

He also disconected the oil gauge and was wondering how I could conect that back. There are also other little wires not conected to anything and I just don't think it should be like that if you know what I meen.

The fuel gauge doesn't work either, and I don't want to pull the take to replace the sending unit, and I was just wondering if there was somethings I could check on before I had to drop the tank.

Thanks for any info,
I'll hopfully be starting on this in the morning some time.

If you ground the single wire plugged in at sending unit at the tank for the fuel gauge it should read full if the wiring and gauge is working.
The other things I would find a wiring diagram and trace the circuits if they have been disconnected.

93BBB has it right. A wiring diagram will list the color of the wires so you should be able to cross-reference which wires go where and what they SHOULD be connected to.
