Fuse Box Wiring Help!

ok so here is the deal.
i have a '93 FD, it came PRETTY MUCH wired.. except for a single harness that has a fuse box. this is my 1st build so i dont know anything to technical about this. but to my best description, its got the main fuse box, power door lock timer, and a butt load of adapters.
i have torn out the AC in it, along with everything else that goes along with that.
asside from that i cant really tell to much else.
i looked on the wiring harness guides online, and found nothing about it..
i just need some help with this, if anyone has any pictures of their FD w/o a dash and showing the wiring, or someone knows the right guide/ picture in it, i would greatly appreciate it.


Phil

You need pics of the FD with the dash out? I got part of my dash out, going to remove the rest of it this weekend. I will take pics then.

These two manuals are great; they contain drawings, schematics, and list wire colors as well. If you can't put the car together using them, you might want to get help from someone who is more experienced with wiring.

That harness doesn't look stock to me. I've never seen a fuse box like that on the FD.

Do you currently have a wiring harness going through the firewall on the driverside? Could that be the harness that runs in the fender to the headlights and such? Just a guess here..

I posted some behind the dash wiring pics in this thread:

That harness you have in the first few pics doesn't strike me as FD familiar, although I admit it has been a few months since I was messing with all that wiring. Perhaps it's a spare harness or from something else?

Those fuse boxes are completely different. The one found in the driver's foot well has 3 rows for fuses. The one connected to the mystery harness has 2 rows of fuses.

I am very sure that the mystery harness does not belong in an FD.

Here is a diagram of the factory fuse box
