Wire identification
I just purchased a 77 f250 crew cab with a 400 in it. I started pullin the dash apart in order to swap parts out of my f150 in to it. That is when I found some burnt wires behind the instrument cluster. I have isolated the wires and can't seem to find them on the wiring diagram in the Haynes manual. I have taken some pictures and have posted them in my gallery. There are acutally 3 wires in question. Two of them are black w/ red strip and the other one is black w/ green strip. One of the black/red is coming out of the fuse box as well as the black/green. The one that I am really concern about is the black/red that goes threw the firewall and connects to the square connector. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That connector looks like is for the cruise control.
Does this truck have speed/cruise control ?
The reason I ask is because all those color wires match cruise control wiring.
black with red or red/black is for stop light switch & cruise shutdown switch.

coming out of the back of the fuse box. It doesn't have cruise control.
So what does the wire that goes through the firewall connect to.

I would venture to guess this truck has a manual transmission the flat plug is a jumper that goes where the neutral saftey switch/backup light wiring off the steering column the black and red would go to the top of the tranny where the backup light switch is on a 4 spd

Well I know there is also a Black/green stripe wrire that runs to the alternator light.
