Bunch of pics attached. my fuse box is a shambles. managed to sort out head lights, side lights, indicators but still no break lights. There appears to be an extra connector on the wires to the fuse box that I can't marry up.
rear lights you can see in the pic an extra set of wires that have been rigged between the 2 clusters any ideas why? or is it a case of remove them and see what happens?
Extra connector on the cig lighter wires where should this go?
And lastly WTH is this connector for? it seems to be just hanging down from the instrument cluster

Second pic I can I only assume they have bridged the clusters because the original wiring that bridged them has a break.
Third pic Mark is right they are the illumination wires for the heat control panel.
4 pic is something to do with MFA memory/reset(I think don't quote me on it) if you have it.
As regards the brake lights, if you have a wiring diagram just start from begining and work your way through. Had a look in my manual and it's quite a simple circuit.

Yes the cigarette lighter extra wire does indeed plug into the heater controls. Still no illumination but then most of the dash doesn't work anyway.

Rewire your ground wires on each side to the Bumper bolts with a large ring connector. Verify that your main battery-to-frame ground is good and has 0.5VDC or less than voltage drop.
