Fixed it

Even though nobody wrote back on my post i thought i would tell you what was wrong, see what happened was the connection of the pyro,trans and voltmeter was loose so i butt spliced it and connected it back up!Next thing was the dimmer switch, my gauges werent going with the automatic headlights, i hooked up the wrong wire, instead of using the light blue wire with red stripe on the right plug(if you are facing it) i used the blue with white on the left plug..Now everything is ok and im happy i did it myself although it took me way longer than expected, but now i know and it would only be about a 1/12 job!!!

That was my exact thought......

Sometimes the things we do will create a problem with no answer...cause I do everything right the first time...

Glad you figured it out, sometimes feels like more of a sense of accomplishment without help though.

did you check out the tech folder, I know there was a link to the Ford Body Builders site. They had the entire schematic on the site I believe.
