My first suspect would a bad, or failing, wire, especially on the ground side.
Case in point-
The starter is grounded through the engine block, to the battery negative via the thick primary grounding cable: the primary ground cable.
The fuel pump itself is grounded back to the battery...
I thought that that was the Rapper Ranger . . .
oh wait
. . . the Rapper Ranger had a turntable and pile of scratched records, too.
I think it was, anyway. My memories of the '80s and '90s are gettin kinda hazy at this stage . . . .
Well, if you can figure it out, then I'll have to try it myself.
A while back RockAuto had a lot of the Ford wiring repair pigtails on closeout sale; I don't know if they still have any or not.
Repair pigtails are the way to go, but damn they're expensive!
I don't know; sorry.
I think that it's time well spent doing what you're doing, in going through the wiring and fixing things where needed.
These are simply old trucks, and wiring repairs are just part of the fun (yeah, right . . . ).
Agreed. If you were looking for an almost time-capsule perfect example, and money was no object, this would be the truck.
True, for a new "today's" truck, but sadly, the asking price is about double what the truck originally sold for in 1990. Saya a lot about inflation over the 34 years...

There is a part to the connector called a "wedge" which is pried out from the connector "face" side. Then you'll see fingers inside the connector that lock the...
1) SCORE!
2) No comment (we're all idiots here, for loving these old trucks the way that we do).
3) Congratulations!
In case you've never had a B2, once you make it a runner, YOU'LL FREAKIN' LOVE DRIVING IT!
It might even cure you of that pitiful Jeep disease . . .
You are really doing good with that old truck.
You'll probably have to be treated for depression, after you've fixed everything and are out of stuff needing work.
What I would try first . . .
Pull the fuse for the dome circuit, then bend a peice of solid strand wire (you can even use a coat hanger) into a hook, and go fishing.
If you can hook it and get it to the hole, it may take some fancy work with a seal pick, scriber or jeweller's screwdrivers to...
