Well, that didn't work. Let's try something else!
I'm looking for a couple wiring diagrams. One is the connector that connects the engine harness to the power distribution harness. The other is the bulkhead connector at the firewall (the 3 square connectors that pass wiring through the firewall into the cab). I'm probably calling them the wrong thing because google has been useless. Here's pictures of what I'm talking about:

I found this, which is the engine harness connector, but it doesn't have a description of the circuits, just numbers! ARRRRG!

Got the money for this? Should have everything you need in it.

96 Ranger EVTM on EBay
I'm checking if the seller will ship priority or not. My brother's coming in to town next weekend and if I can get it here before then, I'll snap it up. I might anyway.

For now, I dug through the other wiring diagrams to match circuit numbers to functions for the main engine harness. If anyone else uses this, just know that I haven't traced any of the wires to verify things yet. But the circuits made sense, at least. And the circuit numbers and their functions stayed the same when they were found on more than one diagram, so I'm pretty confident it's correct.
