It's a great forum. I don't spend as much time here as I should, but the good news is my 742B has been working great. I have learned a lot from the regular posters here.

If I attach some photos you you mind taking a look at them and give me a buzz if you don't mind to go over the mess the last mechanic I hired left me with. It's not that bad I just don't know we're and what these wires are for. I am having a problem with my parking brake solenoid intermittently locking up on me and thought that could be part of it.
thanks , Daveb68

I'd recommend getting yourself a service manual that will show schematic's on wiring
call it an investment! look on EBay /amazon and try and find a used one, to save a few bucks, or if your a more tech guy, I'd imagine there are some download about one's from free to pay for that can be had!
I like hard copies, and one i can hold in my hands
there are some online printing company's that will print out manuals too, if you find a download able one
its what I did for mine, was like 1200 pages, so too much for my home printer to do
and IO had them put it in a 3 hole binder, cost me like a 100 bucks, but IMO was money well spent, used it dozens of times since getting it!

I agree. Downloads are ok. But having paper copy in front of me is what I prefer.

Would help to know what machine this mess is on. I hate those connectors.

I've found tablets are better than paper, especially when you have to have it right where you're working, and it's dimly lit.
