My credo
"Lets stop thinking in terms of limitations and start thinking in terms of possibilities."
I have been trying to figure this wiring out and I know it is probably something stupid because it all worked before I took the truck apart but I can't figure out what it is. I can hear the relays clicking when I turn the key on and off. I have no lights inside or outside. Nothing is working inside, no blower motor dash lights, nothing. When I try to turn the starter over I have nothing there either. I checked all of the grounds and all of the connections are correct except the ones I have pictured. I don't know where those wires go and I don't have anything that tells me where they go. I bought the book that was suggested and that hasn't helped. Can anyone help me with this?

One wire is green and the other is light purple with a black stripe. They come from the firewall.

These two wires are pink with black stripes. They are coming from a harness off the engine.

This wire is purple and comes from the same place as the pink with black striped wires.

This is how I have the lights and battery hooked to the starter solenoid. I checked the starter and I checked all connections. Everything is where it should be I think. The big red wire is to the battery. The other big wire with the plastic ribbed cover goes to the starter.

What the heck am I doing wrong/forgetting? I can take more pictures if you need them. I really need help with this guys. I am at a standstill on my project until I get this figured out. Thanks!
