I have an 88, and I just threw my headlight high beam low beam on an on-off-on toggle switch. It this what you are talking about, or the pul **** to turn them on?

Im not to sure the differance between our years, so my question may make no sense. Bear with me on that. If you are talking about the bi thing that is in your steering wheel that comes down the column and under your dash, I can help there. After that, we will hope for someone else to help

Its the pull out **** type headlight... I replaced the old switch but forgot to take picture of the wires connected to terminals.. as there is no wire harness to it.. I figured out my headlight wire(tan) and the main power wire(red/wht)... but don't know the rest... interior light, tail lights, dash lights..ect...

From the near worthless schematic on Autozone... the tail light wire should be dark blue with a red stripe. The rest can be trial and error...

Make a long jumper wire with two alligator clips. Connect one end to the positive battery terminal and the other end you test each wire one at a time to see what lights up. Touch them very quickly to begin with in case one is a ground wire (big sparks).
