depends on the harness, some include a factory schematic diagram, most have numbered wires, with a key listing where the numbers go - it's always a good idea to pay attention when removing the old wiring and note how it all lays in

I installed a Painless " Universal Truck " harness I picked up on E Bay. It had good instructions and diagrams, based on the GM wiring colours. You choose where you want the fuse panel. The harness is divided into sections for front, rear, and cab wiring. I had never done any serious wiring before, but once you get going and take your time it worked out great. When I got stuck, Painless had a great customer service department to talk with. My harness has ( 18 ) circuits which allows extras like Air Conditioning, Windows / Locks, Elec. Fuel Pump, 3rd Brake light, etc. etc.

Hello, I wired my truck with the Painless kit. It's a good kit. I wired previous street rods (3) with Ron Francis kits. Both are very good. I think painless has better customer service.

The wiring harness(New) that came with the truck when I bought the truck had all of the wires numbered and a instruction sheet that explained where all the numbered wires go. Don't know who made it but the instruction sheet had @copyright 1987 Chevy Duty Inc. This harness also had all the wiring for the turn signal. don't know if this helps any
