More wiring help
I have had some great help over the past year from this site putting back together a 68 half cab. I need some more assistance if possible wiring the turn signal switch- actually- I have the front and rear turn signals down- my question is- on the body side I have a red/black wire for the brake switch- and no red wire coming out of the column? I do have an green wire from the turn signal switch that I do not know where it goes. Also on the switch side (column) I have a yellow and a blue and yellow wire which appear to come from the horn switch- where do they go on the body side? I do have a few wiring diagrams- from Chilton and from this site- but they are very fuzy and confusing. Can anyone give me a hand?

sooo
the whole thing was apart and you have the the steering col., going back in...i am trying to picture this....
and
no wires attached to any lights at any places.????
but.if you have the external lights all hooked up and the you can run a test lead up to the externals and can kind of tell what they do....
easy way to wire TSSwitch
go to like carquest or someone who sells like heavy equip. add on signal switch-levers. These things are BIG units look like baseball bats. Have tie wires coming out of the back of it..(liked it so much i kept it on my 69)
Buy it and take it home..think it may cost few bucks in case you dont want to take it back...
but
it has a diagram which will very quickly let you figure this out even with your stock system...
Bet you can have it figured out in less than 45 minutes...

wiring
I am working on a 68 and most of the wiring was cut when someone parted the truck out- The switch was in good shape but the wires ends were cut and too short to make it back to be reconnected. I bought a new switch from carpenters and it has the same wire colors as the original. I have hooked up the lights- I have head lights, running lights, the turn signals light but do not blink. my problem is that I three wires yet to reconnect- blue-green, yellow-one of these should go to the flasher- and what really has me confused is the e-flasher and brake light wire coming from the truck is red/black- and the ford wiring diagram says a red wire should be coming from the switch- and I have no red wire?
