Ok, I have a 1992 Engine bay wiring harness and a 1989 Dash harness. The 89 had a 2.9 and I used the stuff from a 1992 ranger to do a 4.0 swap. everything works fine but when I switch on the head lights things don't work right. So I pulled both of the wiring harness (engine bay and under dash), and I under stand how the Engine bay wiring harness works and what colors are what, but what I cant figure out is for the under dash harness what wiring are for high beam and low beam, (I have been using this as a bases to work off ofhttp://www.therangerstation.com/tech_library/WiringByColor.html but some things don't make sense like the wire that suppose to be for low beam the red and black goes to the steering column where you would click to turn on your high beams). I know I should be using Electrical Diagrams but I just don't understand them, call me dumb but they just look Spanish to me. I just need help wiring the wires from the head lights to the rights wires for the switch. I know I could just run a new switch but then I would have to run a switch for High beams, low beams, parking lights, and tail lights, or find one that does most of it.... I just need a little guidance...any help is VERY much appreciated.
