Does this look right!?

Heading back under there. Will check these you mentioned. As far as what’s not working….
No headlights
No dash light
No wiper motor
No horn
Might be a lack of grounding issue.

Update:
I now have right and left rear signal lights, replaced one of the rear tailight sockets…was intermittent.
Front signal lights work-but are opposite to correct lever position…. In other words, turn on right signal, left front blinks and visa versa!
Brake lights- only right side work.
Still blows 20 amp tailight fuse when turning on headlight switch….

I again thank everyone here with their responses, im definitely gaining on it, not sure what route to take next…. That'll be tomorrow’s headache!
 
Before i consume cocktails, i do have another question… the rear lamps (1157), which filament is for signals and brakes, which is for running lights?
Each bulb has a “tall filament “ and a “short filament “
 
Is it normal for 12 volts to SLOWLY dissipate down to 0 volts, when test lead is on the supply side of the fuse terminal marked “tail lights”?
No fuse installed, takes about a minute to go from 12v to 0 volts?
I still have no tail lights, fuse blows instantly headlights switch is turned on.
The same happens even with the wire connector is disconnected, the one located inside left kick panel, sending to rear of the car…
 
Try sanding the fuse holder clips.
The short element is tail, but the bulbs only go in 1 way due to the nubs

If it still blows fuses with the rear body harness disconnected, the issue is in the dash or forward lighting harness. I would disconnect the forward harness from the bulkhead, try again to eliminate the short being in the dash harness. Then start disconnecting side marker and forward turn/park lamps housings.

Look closely at the filaments, the thin filament is the tail and the thick filament is the brake/turn. I don't have a bulb handy but I think the tail is the tall one.
 
Ok, thanks for light bulb info, guess i was reaching for a simple fix.
Update:
After cleaning two or three connectors under the dash and inside the kick panel, I now have tail lights! So I have headlights, tail lights, side marker lights. Regarding signal lights, I now have left side signal lights right side dash indicator just stays on, no right rear signal lights. On top of that regarding brake lights….. I have right side only but no left side! This is absolutely nuts. If my memory serves me correctly, I had an issue with oddball lights here and there on a roadrunner years ago, I ended up buying a new signal light switch and everything got straightened out??? never believed that signal light switch would correct other lighting issues.
 
The turn signal light switch can jack up a lot of the electrical. You might want to check for melted/bad wires at the plug along the steering column. Just a thought...

One of the first things I did, but thank you
 
Current condition….
All running lights working- except dash lights

Signal lights working

Hazard lights-all work EXCEPT left rear(like the brake lights scenario)

Brake lights- only right side, while holding brake lights on, turn on right signal…. The right side blinks and left side brake lights come on!

Doesn’t this mean a new signal light switch needed?
Getting there….
 
Ok, new signal switch ordered. Will come back to update
Thanks again everyone. (fingers crossed)
I’m starting a new thread for my “no horns” issue next.
