2g engine harness rewire/mod

[giovanniv]

Hey guys, I am just now getting back into the DSM game after about 5 years. Long story short, I have a 2g, previous owner kinda did a hack job with splicing grounds and running incorrect gauge wire to everything and now I am trying to rewire everything and clean everything up. Now I need some sort of write up or diagram showing what gauge wire everything should be. Also I have random sensors I am no longer using like cruise control, theres no a/c, etc so I want to clean up the harness. Any help would be appreciated, I have searched and couldn't find anything. Thanks

When I started removing things from my bay I got to a point where I just deloomed my harness and slowly unwound it, depinning things I didnt need. As far as what gauge wire, i just went to a local electronics repair shop with a chunk of OE wire and he did the rest to order it up for me, I didnt need much though. So maybe that will work for you as well.

This.
Get a factory service manual, the online stuff is missing some things. However, the MFI diagrams on the ECM Link site are good. Make sure you get a factory service manual for your year car as there are some differences between years.

All the factory wiring is usually 20-16AWG with things like headlights, main powers, grounds being bigger.

There is lots of info in the electrical how to section of the forum posted by both myself and others.

I didn't realize the online ones were missing info. Looks like time to find a paper manual. Good to know. Thanks!
