1995 Chevrolet Blazer Repair Question
Mileage: 127,000 miles.
How to reconnect under the dash wires back into ignition harness?
Answer
There are many wires that have the same color but at different location and unless you are able to tell us the socket it is connected, I am afraid you might get everything wrong.
Are the wires from the ignition switch connected to anything? Are you able to start and run vehicle?
You mentioned having wiring schematics, do you have the one in question ?
thanks for ur quick response. when i brought the vechicle home it did start up and run.run great in fact.but the brake lights in back of vechicle was stuck on all the time.with blazer going or without going.so i looked and found the wires were half undone.i wanted to clean it up some and reconnect everything nice and neat.so there wouldnt be any shorts or nothing in it.there is no connectors what so ever underneath where the ignition harness joins into the wires under the dash.these wires under dash is like halfway down the steering column(but not on it) in back almost right above the brake pedal.I will try to upload a pic of what im talking about in little bit.Again thanks for the response.

Again thanks for all the help and your time.

Under the dash you would usually find some connectors or wires that are not connected to anything and this is normal. They are for some other accessories that are not installed onto your vehicle so you need not worry unnecessarily about them. Any wires that are used should be well insulated and secured.
For the brake lights staying on, check the brake switch. If the stopper for the brake switch is bad, it would not close the switch when pedal is released.
I believe that is what you should be looking at and stop worrying about additional wires not used.
> the reason for undoing the remainder of the wires that was spliced together was> to re-connect in a nice and neat organized way,so they were fully connected without possible shortages at some later date. so i am asking for advice on what color code from each end of the wiring harness connects to other end of harness,so that way i can have everything connected back up and in working order once again.
thanks for your time,

It is rather difficult to explain how to go about but if wires had been broken, the only way to go about is to look for the other end that is of the same color and size and join them up.
From the link that you have posted, the top few wire colors are what you have mentioned. They are linked to the ignition switch and should be going to the fuse box.
As to the other wires, if they are from the radio, then you should be looking at the radio wiring schematics. However the colors only match for a few wires and not all that you have described.
