Hello everybody,
Real happy to have found this forum, lots of info, thanks

i bought a Ford f450 2001 7.3 power stroke xl and got this mess when I removed the 14’ box that was on. I can’t seam to find any info or diagram online to fix and sort this out.
This is the bunch of wires that goes to the lights in the back and comes from a distribution box just over the driver side wheel well.
i am just trying to install rear lights to get the truck inspected so I can move on with the project of building a camper on the frame.
Hope this is clear enough but if not let me know what you need.
Thanks for any help to get a diagram for this little mess 🤔😉

I'd just get a test light or volt/ohm meter and go to work on them.

Turn the lights one and prob them until you find one with voltage or lights up the test light.

Then turn the right turn signal on and do the same thing along with the left turn signal.

It would just be a process of elimination.

I doubt that factory color codes would help much since it sounds like it was a upfitters box that you took off and they may follow their own color code.
Thanks for the quick reply… will give this a shot tomorrow… never been good with electrical.

Bugman is right on. Easiest is with a meter. Your pics don't look like factory colors. But here are a few of those in case it helps
Factory tail light wires are brown, Left turn/stop is Lt Green/ orange stripe, Right turn/stop is Orange/Lt Blue stripe, Backup Lamp wires are black/pink stripe. Trailer running lights are brown/white stripe, Trailer backup lights are black/lt green stripe, Trailer ground is white, Trailer brakes are dark blue, Trailer Left turn is yellow, Trailer Right turn is orange, Trailer battery charge feed is red.

Moving your post to 1999-2007 General Questions where it's more on topic.
Thank klhansen. Sorry about the wrong posting in the wrong place. Believe it or not I am new to forums…🤣
