Control box (brain box) wiring question

Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the brain box for a '89? I want to use it in my conversion, but I need to know how to wire it in. I have the one wire that really matters hooked up right now, but want to get the grid heaters and ksb hooked up and working.

Yes. That lets the brain box know that the truck has been started so it will run the grids in "post-heat" mode.

It'll be pretty trick to have it working like the factory intended in the Ford.

Thats the plan. I don't know if I am goning to hook up the message center yet or not. There is not a real good place to cut it into the dash. I think I will use some LED's for the WTS and WIF lights.

Thanks again!
