F150 wiring issues
I have a 1982 f150 with the inline six, it has 350,000 miles on it and still runs good and starts on the first crank.
the biggest problem i have with it is the electrical wiring
there is a lot of stuff in there that was installed by the previous owner, the stereo and windshield wipers are connected to the ignition on position, i am worried that this could be damaging the ignition system, there are also a number of wires that dont seem to do anything.
does anybody know where i could get factory wiring diagrams for this truck so i can get everything working like it should

The Haynes are good, but a little hard to read for the beginner. www.helminc.com has the factory manuals, and if they have them in stock, the electrical toubleshooting manuals are pretty good.

The electrical and vacuum manual is the best and easiest to use (the 1st item in this link): Helm Incorporated: Search Results
