what kind of problems are you having ? I was kind of confused about a couple things called E-Z wire they were very helpful.

I just don't know how to read the damn instructions they are confusing to me I learn better by watching not readin LOL - I have never een good at wiring anything other than a damn stereo LOL - If my buddy doesn't stop over I may just call them and ask them for a lil help

can relate to the learning by watching. I probably read the instructions 10 times before I had it in my head. I'm sure if you can figure out how to build this truck you can figure this wire thing out too.hang in there . if it was easy every one would do it.

break it down to sections. lay out your harness in the directions it has to go.

the turn signal switch is the tricky one.

horns & fans, use a relay from autozone.

gm 1 wire alternator needs a gen light to make it work.

My fuse block has the fan and horn relays already in there

What do you mean a gen light?

Wish we live closer so I could help, Wiring is no problem for me, I grew up with it my dad was A electronic tech for 21yr, Iv wired up 2 95 lt1 from original wiring from the donor car and put it in A 69 Camaro and the other in A 55 1st series chevy truck and Im currently wiring A 70 chevy pickup with A 95 lt1 and A 36 buick with A 2001 LS1 for A friends, Friend but the last 2 have the painless wiring kit so there easy and not bad work for A trade out in parts for for my Ratrod.

Never heard of the gen light thing. You can get a 1 wire kit on eBay for around $11 for a GM alternator. Works great, I put em on everything. Hell I put one on my diesel Ford tractor and saved a couple hundred bucks over an OEM unit. GM units have an internal regulator, so I eliminated some factory B.S. wiring.

I believe he was referring to the regulator tickler.

usually comes from the gen / alt light...gives the regulator a signal then alt current overrides the lower voltage/resistance thru the bulb and turns it off...one wire alt does it internally not externally...
