Default Lose of power to half of fuse block

So i replaced the steering column in my 87 wagoneer limited 4.0. I also ripped out some cheap splices made by old owner. Hooked everything back up and found jeep starts right up. but no power to signals, Radio, horn Blower motor. So i grabbed the test light and i have no power to the fuse block for all the above. Then i started looking at the splices i repaired. they had stole power from the high beam dimmer switch to run the other accessories. I do not want to put it back like this. I did buy a parts wagoneer yesterday. Its a 85 model with 2.8 i am thinking about grabbing the under dash wiring from this looks to be the same. so i guess my question is does anyone have a good under dash wiring diagram for a 87 wagon limited... If so i would really appreciate it. pdf file would be great. Or any help at all

Thanks

So it turned out to be a bad wire coming out of the Ignition switch. That is why they stole power from dimmer switch in the first place. So now every thing works. No more toggle switches for wipers horn, lights. I was able to remove about 20 feet of speaker wire they used for Power wire for all the above.

So the steering coulumn Shaft is a little shorter. The stub that sticks thru the firewall is shorter. I had to use the shaft from the column to the steering gear box from the 85 wagoneer.
