Electrical insight on my 2.4l 97 taco

Have a proble with my 97toyota Tacoma 2.4l eletrical system bad relays/wiring from over loading with larger fuses. So no power to the starter when cranked power to dash with key out (oil and check engine light stay on) when key is on acc multiple issues with ex light signal/wipers.
I think it's a few relays osr and starter relay along with flashers? Also ignition and coil?
Also was getting no spark from distributer/plugs when jumping the starter. One more thing the engine would crank and pump fuel with key on and e brake pulled. After removing and reinstalling wiring with no sign on damage theirs is no more engaging of the fuel pump but still cranks with ebrake engaged.

Just what is wrong??

Having higher then recommended circuit protection will not do anything but allow that circuit to draw more current.

You need to work on one circuit at a time.

You should really try and find a copy of Toyota`s Electrical Wiring Diagrams. For your Truck

Go from there.

Throw away your Haynes manual. Seriously. It's about as helpful as a roll of toilet paper for the issues you're having.

You need to buy a 2 day subscription to Toyota TIS and simply download the entire FSM.

Electrical demons suck.
Good luck.
