I replace heater core by R and R the dash, now I found that brake lights don't work, I found no power to brake switch then I chase the harness found other end of brake switch connector hanging, it wasn't hook on anywhere. Please help me out, I been looking for 3 days already still can't find place to plug in. Note: The harness has 4 or 5 wires in it, and about 3 feet long one end connector go to the brake switch and the other end connector go to somewhere. Thank you very much.

Hello, I'm Danny.

Here is the diagram you requested. I hope the diagram helps to show you where the connector will plug in to. Here is a tutorial showing how to test electrical wiring:

I've attached the brake system wiring diagram below for your truck. I've cut the picture in half so you can view larger. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.

this is about the best i can do as they are really small. the white wires are power going to t/s switch and overhead cab brake light then it's yellow and green for tailgihts from t/s switch. also check at rear of frame for ground for all lights they get rusty,dirty and loose contact. try that first. also ther eis a circuit board that goes bad in tailights that is available at auto parts
