Haynes won't have a wiring schematic. Go to the dealership and be nice to the manager or a tech, and they will photocopy what you need...they may even let you borrow the manual! Throw them a few bucks or a 6 pack

there are pdf files around somewhere of the ETM's...someone will chime in and link I'm sure.

What are the 2 wires for? DOes one have power? Are you blowing fuses? SHort to power or short to ground?

Haynes does have schematics in the back of the book. It covers everything.

the two wires slice from the left liscense plate light, and run to the right plate light. but they are cut.i melted the fuse, then some more **** messed up, and now i dont even have power at the fuse box, hence my need for a schematic, so i can find where i have a loss of power. what do you mean short to power or short to ground? correct me if im wrong but if i had a bad ground it just wouldnt work right? and if i have a short on a power wire(i think i do) then i would be gettin blown stuff like im gettin now

oh yeah, it didn't blow the fuse as much as it melted the casin around it! the fuse never blew, figured that out a minute ago, and now im really confused, cuz if i have a bad connection, it will draw more amperage than normal, heatin the fuse and meltin the casing, and probably the wire, but now blowing it. ugh, can i pay someone to fix this? lol, j/k
