Do you have a more specific question in mind? The Haynes manual has a bunch of schematics in the back of it. If it's something simple, I can go look it up...

 

Actually, yea
I believe I blew or shorted something out having to do w my dimmer switch. If you could tell me where those 3 leads go (they go into a big bundle and i loose them)(I think its connected to the headlight switch) and also what the 3 leads are. I believe the black is grnd, red is +12 and blue or whatever goes to all the bulbs, but im not positive, thats just a guess. Thanks so much

OK, for the 95-97 one, there's an "illumination control switch" which I'm going to take to be the dimmer. It's got a blue/yellow wire which is +12V when the parking or headlights are on, black which is ground, and a red/yellow going to the bulbs, which acts as their ground. It's all on fuse 18, 7.5 amps.

 

Thanks man,
Any idea how it knows the headlights are on? I figd it was somehow connected to the headlight switch bc I dont get +12 from the pos lead of the dimmer. I also checked the fuse and its good. Does the manual tell u where the +12 wire goes?

 

Looks like the +12 goes through fuse 66 (15A) in the fusible link box under the hood, to a red/blue wire to the lighting switch, and headlights or parking lights there send it down a red/green wire to fuse 18. Hope that helps.

 

Thanks a bunch man, Ill take a look at it today.
