Sorry this happened to you. Your best repair would be to find the parts in a Salvage yard. By doing this, all of the connections would be plug-in and in the proper sequence. You would have the expense of the repair wire sections anyway and if you piece-meal all the damaged wires together you could have constant connection problems. Plus if any of the wires are melted in unseen areas, there could be more problems.

There is a good Salvage yard site called Car-parts.com. It is Nationwide and gives you prices, photos, and all contact information for the parts. Some yards will offer warrantees. They ship to your house.

You may find places in driving distance from your home.

The Autozone website has Help sections at the bottom of the page. They need to be navigated between free and paid info. They have diagrams for the wiring. You will need to register on the site for free and you can look up 12 vehicles.

Also check your fuses as the wires may have crossed and broke a fuse.

SOURCE: Install aftermarket tachometer

I'll take a stab at this, there's better than a 50-50 chance, and you can do no damage if the first try is wrong. Red is +12 volts and Black is chassis ground. that's a given. I would try Blue to coil pack "Tach" terminal, and Green for the dashlight. If I am right about the Blue and Green, a 9-volt battery from Green to Black will light the light if it's not burned out. If the Green doesn't light it, try the Blue, but my bets on the Green. If the Blue doesn't light it either, the bulb is toast.

A new 02 sensor will come with new wires and connector. If not get back with me I think there is a repair kit for that problem.

2005 Chrysler T&C I had a short in my trailer wiring. Now the dash does not lite and none of the instruments display. Brake lights and turn signals dont work.I have checked all fuses in main fusebox.

You say you had a short. That short may have heated up to the point where it melted, and also melted the wires in the harness. This now shorts everything. Start from the rear of car and work forward. Look for melted wires. If you find the problem, don't cut all wires, do one wire at a time. The first short should be in the area of all the damage, and may have started buy a wire that was rubbing up against metal to the point where it shorted out. Take your time. Good Luck Friend.

05 Ford Escape wont shift out of park. Brake light works and shift lock solenoid releases when 12v is applied to the coil at the connector. Red wire has 2v at all times and increases to 4v when key is...

You may need a shop manual for this.
There is a smart junction box that contains some mini-relays that controls the shift lock solenoid.
The junction box is controlled by the engine and body computers.
That red wire comes from the junction box.

How to wire

Go to Autozone.com and register your vehicle for free. Then you can get free fusebox and wiring diagrams for your specific model. Another site, alldatadiy.com also has info.

If the fusebox is melted some Salvage yards have parts. Car-parts.com has a nationwide finder service.

Depending on what you are changing, remember Relays and use the correct gauge and color wire. If you are having to do this, then something did not break the current. Many fuseboxes will run wires only to the next connector, so you can get a Salvage fusebox to use as a new hub with connectors. Then leave the fuses and Relays intact and remove the old fusebox as a unit, slip in the new unit and reconnect the wire connectors. Much easier than a piecemeal patch.

I hope my solution is helpful.

Get your hands on a Chiltons/Haynes repair manual for you car. It will identify just what the component is, probably under the heading "Ignition." Once identified, you may be able to get a replacement from JC Whitney. Or you may have to bite the bullet and go to a performance shop.

My 97 nissan pickup truck died and smoke came in thru the glove box and smelt like wires burning what could this be

You have a short under the dash or near the firewall under the hood. This is a major fix and you will need a wiring expert. Bad news for you. I am so sorry.
If for some reason someone installed a new radio or stereo system then they may not have taped a bare wire good enough and it bumped against a hot wire or ground wire. Look under the dash and see if you can feel or see any melted wires and check for melted wires under the hood as well. You may get lucky and minimum wire damage might have occured. I wish I was there. I could look for you. Good Luck and please let us know how it turns out. The Raz
