I’m trying to get the windshield wipers working again, but I’ll take any level of progress…

    Correct. Orange wire is 12v constant and the yellow is 12v switch ignition. Brown wire is ground, but that’s kinda optional; it will pull ground from the antenna plug instead.

      Dude, guess what our truck is missing? The dome light. Guess what color wires hang from where it used to be? Black, White, Orange, Yellow…

      You wanna take any guess where I installed a toggle switch? Right under the rear view mirror. Now we got working radio and windshield wipers!

      Man your advice has saved my sanity for the month, I had folks telling me to check the control module and even replace the entire wire harness, while I’m like fuckall with that, I’ll seek a simpler solution first.

      Apparently its just a fault of the ignition switch itself, which isn’t really that big of a surprise, but I would have been chasing wild geese and getting nowhere fast. Your advice got the accessory systems running again! 👍

      Now, next goal is to figure out what’s up with the horn, that still don’t work…

        Nice! That is some proper bodging.
