However some of the wires are not the same colors as what is on my list. can you give me a list of what each wire goes to and if the color of the wire could be a different color what it would be. i need it from the side of the truck not the new stereo . thank you

I tried to copy the image, but it was too low of a resolution, please email me the picture. [email protected]

Also, I am trying to locate the Parking Light Relay. It is not in the Smart Junction Box or the Fuse Box under the hood. Any ideas on its actual location?

I did check those, thanks for the heads up though...sometimes it's the simplest things that mess everything up. I am looking at the wiring diagram in the Haynes manual and it shows a Parking Lamp Relay that is between fuse 3 and the Main Light Switch. This relay seems to affect every problem I'm having, but I can't seem to physically identify the relay in the truck. Any thoughts?

Thanks.

I see it in my wiring diagram as well and it's showing it as being located in the smart junction box which is behind the right side of dash.

Right, I saw that as well. The only problem is, that after extensively looking at what I think is the Smart Junction Box (the fuse box in the lower right kick plate of the cab of the truck under the passenger's feet) I have discovered I do not know what I am looking for. If the Smart Junction Box (SJB) is in a location other than that fuse box in the cab I do not know where it is. Can you help me understand what I am looking for? I do not see anything that resembles the relays in the fuse box under the hood. Thanks.

Hello,

There are a few different radios so I have included all of the radio wiring diagrams for all of the systems. (below)

Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Cheers, Ken
