Moved to the proper location and cleaned up.......

the only wires coming off the driverside battery is black ground to engine block, and red to pass side battery. anything else was added on. the driverside battery is the auxillary one. pass side is your primary one.

I happen to be in your town right now (if your Profile information is still correct) and I can help you.
I just just finished redoing/fixing/replacing the the GP harness on my 87 F250 a few days ago (should be identical to yours) - from the starter solenoid @ left fender well, through the controller, and all of the connections, plus new alternator & voltage regulator, new Pos. battery cable assembly, so I know where everything goes. I also have the factory manuals with wiring diagrams on CD. I could come over and look at yours and probably show you where everything goes, and we can also look at my wiring for a reference.

I didn't see a way to send a private message to you for contact info but I'll try another option

I used the "Conversation" function (not knowing what that is exactly) to contact the original poster to exchange contact information - looks like that is a chat program so I'll I'll leave that open to wait for a reply or call sometime today.

I hope that works.

Is that the standard way to send a private message to another member?
Thanks
