I'm currently installing a wiring harness on my 46. It has several components, some of which I understand, and have already installed, and some of which are to come.

My main question, at this time is the wire routing.

First, the headlight circuit, is installed. No problem

Second, the wiring from the headlight junction to the gushes, etc are next. Obviously, the guages, headlights, etc, goes into the firewall hole. Does the leg for the voltage reg, dimmer switch, and leg to connect the rear light and brake light, go into the cab, and back out? This is all one bundle wiring, until I connect a leg to the rear lights. If the wiring for the dimmer switch goes into the cab, where does it run for the dimmer. I assume that the hole to reach the dimmer, must also be used to pull the leg to the rear brake light wiring bundle.

Sorry to make this sound confusing, but I had no old wiring to follow. Any pictures would be helpful.

Thanks

On my 51, voltage reg, dimmer switch, brake light switch, tail and brake light connections are on the firewall/ engine side.
