Hi everyone. If you've seen my project thread, you'll notice that this is my current headache.

Looking for any reference photos of the nice 'loom' or 'routing' of the wiring harness as it comes out of the center tunnel, to the fuse-board, then behind the dash. Also, any tips / pointers to getting this to fit nicely, or any vendors you've worked with, would be greatly appreciated!

A little preview of the headache I've had over the last few years.

A colored wiring chart will help; they have been available on this site in PDF formats. I used a laminated set and find them the best.
First: are the ends of the wires hooked mum; ie, the headlights, taillights, etc. This should be #1
If I were dealing with the wires in the picture wires; I would sort and separate them by where they go first. The wires to the gauges, wires to switches, wires to the fuse panel. Then untangle so each group can reach its destination unimpeded.When the group to the fuse panel looks right, zip tie that group to keep them together; then start at the fuse panel.
Then do the switches, one at a time, making sure the switch will perform ts designated function before going on to the next one.
Lastly, the gauges, pretty straight forward.

It may take longer than you think, but it will work out..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
