Wiring from Solenoid
Ok here's what I got... Some Bonehead
(won't mention any names)got in a hurry and hooked the battery up reverse polarity. Replaced fuel pump relay and relay for brain. Rewired(so I thought)fuseable links coming off solenoid. Local NAPA dude told me no fuseable links available but had wire that did the same thing, new Battery too. Truck fired up and had been my steady stand by for 6 months. Cranked it up the other day so they could plow my spot and cranked real slow but started.
Charging system shows no charge so I checked wires. Several of the wires I repaired had "cooked". Where can I find a wiring diagram for the wires that come off the solenoid. My Chilton Manual shows chassis electrical but don't see anything that resembles the wiring off the solenoid.
Any "HELP"
would be appreciated !!!!!!!

I would think mounting a fuse block to the firewall and bring all F.L. circuits into it individually, combine loads to determine the wire size to the battery that feeds the block, and putting the correct delayed/slow blow filament fuse per circuit would cut a lot of future chap to deal with & look alot cleaner. splicing fusible link circuits w/o going into complicated details, is like hanging a "kick me!" sign on your back, with "but wait til I'm not paying attention." added in smaller letters.
