So, engine was pulled out for mechanical issues.... while that’s out, I figured no better time than now to freshen up the 25+ year old weather beaten harness.
I’ve done plenty of wiring tuck jobs and custom harnesses for other people. However, as usual, my car always gets left out due to time.
Never being a big fan for how the factory routed the wiring and the materials they used. It left me feeling like it was put together by someone in their backyard right off the showroom floor.
Obviously, functionality and longevity trumps the visual aesthetic for anyone with half a brain when it comes to wiring.
After playing around with paper drawings and physically moving the harness how I want it to be. I came up with plan for the harness. Now the engines out and I have time. I have begun the long tedious process of building a harness how I would of like to seen from the factory.
I decided to reroute the main harness through the heater core area. I deleted the heater assy. So my harness design and routing wouldn’t work for most. However, it works for me.
Currently to date harness is out and began disassembly and marking the harness.
