Oy. Bare wires, looks like an explosion in a spaghetti factory. Other than the motor harness, you may be better off starting from scratch using the generic wiring diagrams from this forum.

It's almost impossible to sort out wiring like that with pictures. You really need to be able to trace wiring out to fix it. I'm not even sure which wires you're having issues with. To many electrical problems in one thread.

Only if that's what the wiring diagram for your specific motor calls for.

Re: wire i dont know what it is...

ok first i want to say THANK YOU GUYS FOR ALL THE HELP.... i got everything fixed everything from lights, radio, tv and etc are on there own fuse and also i got the switch that Don S said i needed.. so i hooked up everything and the samething happend so i just said f it i will let someone else deal with it but wile i was trying to crank my motor the starter looked like my batts was dead... took my power probe and all the wires was neg so i called my guy that i get my parts from and he said when the starter is junk sometimes the wires can be neg (not the wire from the batt)... so i bought a brand new starter and all my problems went away, so i think what was happing was that the starter was back feeding the neg to the wires that was suppose to be pos (i think) nd thats why i was having problems with the guages and switches....so thanks alot guys for all your guys help.....
