Pickup wiring.

Hey all.
A friend brought his pickup over for me to get a wof for him.
He then mentioned in passing that his fuel gauge/water temp/panel lights were suddenly not working.
I lack a wiring diagram for a commercial - anyone got one they can post please.?

I am thinking fuse or fuseholder, but I do not even know what fuse does what.
I can work my way around it, but a diagram would speed things up a lot..

Must say - even having the fuses in the parcel tray is a bit more friendly than beneath the dash..

This is the pickup in question..

You're a wizard mate.

if it not the fuses could be the block connector on the back of the instrument cluster so the sidelight circuit will be different to the fuel temp circuit there is 5 fuse box plus an inline one red wire this is side light circuit

Baz - thanks for the heads-up, and you were on the money.

Thanks to the wiring diagram which informed me that various things that were working got their power from the same source as some that were not, I realised it had to be a connection issue.
It is mid-winter here after all, and this pickup lives outdoors.

Manipulating the wiring loom behind the dash got the fuel gauge going, and it soon became evident that the multiplug was the culprit.
A fair amount of wriggling got me a permanent connection for the fuel gauge, and I then found that the panel lights were also working again.

So that's nice..

I reckon we're on our way to a new wof this week.

Thanks all.

It was like this the last time I visited in July...

Okay. Not the same as my perception (possibly quite wrong) of an Australian winter where it might get a bit nippy at night time
