Dash Harness Wire Leads - Urgent

So I'm just finishing up my 4l80 conversion, and I'm having some "adventures" with the dash area wiring. (I used the new A2 harness)

I ironed out most of the initial issues with the harness but still have a few. Engine starts, wait to start light works.

Currently, none of the lights work (headlights, blackout lights, tail lights, blinkers, clearance lights)
I have about half of the gauge cluster connectors hooked up (including the dash ground)
There appears to be two major grounding connections, one is already connected to the gauge panel, but the other one is not hooked up. I assume this might be the problem, and that hooking the other big grounding connector to the body will fix the light problem.

I think I figured out the dash circuit breakers (27s with 27s and 29s with 29s)

My problem is the floor light selector. I hooked up the ribbed connector to the ribbed connector on the switch. There are two other wires that I do not know which order they go in. Does anyone have a diagram showing the wire leads and their respective locations on the 3 connector switch?

Back to the dash grounding. There is a stud on the right side of the dash that goes into the engine compartment that has a ground from the engine harness on it. Does the body harness ground hook up to the same stub except on the inside of the dash?

Thirdly,
I have two extra connectors on the body harness to engine harness connections. I have the major ones like the ESS and the TPS hooked up as well as the matching wire leads. There are a couple extra connectors that have no matching wire lead numbers on the engine harness.
Does anyone have a diagram showing the lead numbers from the engine harness to ground harness.

Fourth:
Heater isn't working. It's all hooked up, main connector is hooked up and the ground connector is also good.
Does the heater need any other connections? Does it need the main harness body ground to work properly?

Before anyone tells me to go to the back of the maintenance manuals to see those diagrams, I wont.
They are not readable and I have spent a considerable amount of time trying to find the pieces I need and still can't find them.
Plus the A2 harness diagram is not in good detail, so I am unable to make out wire lead numbers.
I would much appreciate it if anyone here can simply tell me the wire lead numbers I need or a CLEAR picture of the area of the diagram relating to the above locations.

All the numbers are very clear if you search the web for " pdf tm 9-2320......"

Just plug the two wires in at yhr dimmer. One goes to bright and one to dim
The dash section has s wire that attaches to thd bolt in firewall behind heater controls.
Do you have the big resistor hooked ip behind ghd cluster?
