the last time i worked on my rust problem i was cutting out some of my rusty driver side floor w/ the plasma cutter and i burned up a wiring harness that runs under the driver seat along the frame rail. i cut a little more away today to get access to the wires to see how bad they were. i burned up a couple pretty good and they'll need to be repaired. just wanted to know what i'm dealing with.

first pair is a red wire and blue wire that are connected (like speaker wire), about 10 ga.

then there is a single blue wire, a tan wire and an orange wire w/ black stripe, all about 12 ga.

next thinnest is a red (pink?) wire and another tan wire, they're both about 14 ga.

then there are 4 thin wires connected (like a flat trailer wire), brown, yellow, dark green, light green; all about 16 ga. this last set is fine.

i didn't cut across them so they're all intact. i just burned through the loom, the insulation and a bunch of strands on a few of them.

Hope this helps
 
thanks. these trucks came w/ factory wires for electric brakes (red & blue wire)?

i didn't think to check to see if the rear window still worked.
 
IIRC the red white and blue 12 awg wire is for the power window in the rear, look at the back of your switch. Orange with black should be dome / interior lights.
