From 95 manual there are 5 yellow leads coming into the ignition switch terminals B1 thru B5; power goes out of terminal A1 to wipers on black/light green lead thru fuse 2 to Dark green lead to wiper and wiper module. Power leaves igniton switch Terminals A1 and A2 on gray/yellow lead to fuse 7 to a orange/yellow lead to the turn signal flasher. Without knowing what you have saved and what you have installed after the fact, it is hard to tell what you need. Good luck.

I kinda went through the same thing ...I grounded out the yellow wire to the ignition switch and from the help that I got on the forum there is fusible links coming off of the selonoid on the inside of the right fender.....You may have blown them ....Trace the yellow wires coming of of it going towards the battery and you will see the yellow wire's with a differant color wire spliced into it and then back to yellow wire... you may find the problem there....Just make sure you replace with the same type of wire....

you probly have wires that are in the power distribution box that supply various things inside the truck, along with the charging system, Do you have a wiring diagram?? if not it may be a good idea for you to get one to make sure you hacked all the right wires, and none of the wrong wires, but in any case, some stuff with a computer has everything going through it, not sure if you 95 does, but alot of time with the newer stuff everything goes through the PCM.
