Lights Wiring, Charley Foxtrot 95 Carryall 1

[twomonkeysayoyo]

Ok, I know this has probably been covered a gazillion times. I apologize if it has. Registered here for this question:

I'm at my dad's house, he has a 95 Carryall 1, gas powered. At some point his oversized tire got in the wiring loom under the drivers side front tire. Ripped about 6 wires out. I reconnected them by color, but still no lights. I've gone over the wiring diagrams here and the ones big enough to read did not cover the lights. Can you guys steer me in the right direction?

The wires that were ripped were:

• blue
• yellow (14?ga)
• yellow (12?ga)
• black
• brown
  
• red (that came from the bright light switch)

The wires besides the red one all go up into the loom and to places unknown to me. The good news is after connecting the wires I nolonger get 12v to the nipple while connected/disconnecting battery. Other than that, no change. No horn, either.

Thanks in advance.

I'm not a Carryall owner but I'd be looking for a blown fuse. I don't understand your comment about the "nipple". What exactly are you referring to ?

MY nipple. I was kind of leaning on a metal rail disconnecting the battery. I found the fus box on the thing. 3 of 4 fuses blown. Now everything works but the horn.

I'm simply speechless BGW is now the official site of shorted out nipples. Was it the left or right teat that bore the brunt ? Inquiring minds wish to know.

2 monkey glad you go tit fxed ok, but im wandering for a new harness if it wold have been easier to spend the 250 for a brand new complete harness from a sponsor. im only wandering if in a couple years down the road the connections, if not properly heat shrinked and sealed will open and corrode away causing issues.
say if you repaired and patched new wires into a 8 wire harness, you have any where from 8 to 16 possible breaks know.
but as i recall on my carryall, my headlights are on a seperate harness then the main harness, the rear lights are seaperate from the main harness, so i assuming the horn is on there too. all i have is head light that are factory. all other lights, horn, radio, and such i have made my self.
