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

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?

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...
