1988 F150 Help

Hi all I have an'88 F150 that I love except for it's ignition and fuel relay problems.
Recently after my mechanic installed new updated relays from Ford the entire ignition system fried. Melted the wires etc.
A friend of his from Ford said this was a problem with the '88's and he's bringing a new harness. But we need the schematics for the wireing.
Anyone got an idea?

F150 6 cyl. standard. [I think4.6 litre]

Thanks
Carl Stone

you shouldnt need a wiring schematic if the entire harness is being replaced. why were the relays being touched to begin with? and the mechanic should have that type of thing anyhow if not i would find a different mechanic
