Hello, so I got my positive/negative battery cables cooked up, along with my ground strap. There is still no power though. I know why but need help. I have 5 photos. Each photo is a wire I found that isn't hooked up. 1-4 are in the engine bay. 5 is under the steering Colum. I have a number on each photo so you can help me with the wiring. I need to know what the wire is for and where it connects to. Any help is appreciated. Btw please have a photo showing where the wire goes because it makes it a lot easier for me to understand.

go down for photo 1. it wouldn't load on this post.

#1, circled, self tapping bolt into the sheet metal below the battery. My battery is not stock so it won't look the same, the location and be adjacent to the water pump pulley as pictured

#2, circled and traced, goes to the "power distribution block"on the bottom stud, along with the cable coming from the alternator. It's on the far passenger side "wall"in the engine compartment, just ahead of the wheel well.

I think 4 is something to do with the key switch. The same green wire is found under the steering Colum in the cab. somebody was messing with it before me cuz a bunch of wires aren't covered under the steering column. Infact you can see the green wire in the 5 photo on the right. if that helps
