Purty!
Note: don't mess with your actual wiring without isolating the battery... Disconnect the battery cables.
I can't see anything obvious in pic1... Not sure why the wires and the heat sleeve are just laying there... Or what they are laying on...
Pic2... The blue wire in the voltage regulator (VR) is not typically used... But, the VR connector is not like any I've seen before... The wires protruding from the bottom of that connector look like they could be charred... Have a look,and see if the insulation is melted or burned. The two connectors below there are the rear harness connectors, I think... Hard to tell. Note: don't mess with your actual wiring without isolating the battery... Disconnect the battery cables.
Pic3...thru... End... Any idea what all that creative wiring is all about? I would trace it and see what it is supposed to do... It's really hard to tell you what to do, but from what I can see, MY approach would be to disconnect it until you resolve your issues. You can always go back and wire it correctly later. Note: don't mess with your actual wiring without isolating the battery... Disconnect the battery cables.
Edit: it looks like the ring terminal, behind the fuse box bolt is grounding something... The other stuff is probably hot... Tapped off of the fuse box... But what's it all for?
What is that dark rectangular thing and is it really burnt?
Edit: where does that big black wire bundle go in your last picture? It looks like it goes to the floor and then toward the back... The orange wire has a male spade, is there a single female lurking in the shadows?
Alright if I can convince the little one to play outside while I play with my truck I will try and get to this again after dinner. In the meantime can I ask if that shot of your tach in your thread about your new rig is something that I am missing or something you added? I feel like I need to get to 4th by the time I am going maybe 30 MPH or so and with no real guidance other than a truck that needs a tune up I have never driven I don't know how much I trust my feeling so some guidance would be great. Super jealous of yours! It looks beautiful!
