I have another thread on a blinker short issue that I am still stuck on.
I was hoping to be able to keep that issue separate from some dodgy add on PO wiring. But alas they have merged and I cannot avoid it anymore. I was doing a test drive last week and I had to turn the steering wheel lock to lock for a parking situation. When I did that I heard crunching. My turn signal issue went from bad to worse and I saw new wires hanging down. A PO had routed wires in and around the steering shaft and turning full lock grabbed them and broke some connections. Sure, I have time to fix that, now top of the list. So the question is; I have seen some people with great examples of wiring, mostly in build threads. I can't go back and search those for pics. I don't remember where they were. So I decided to ask in a new thread. Does anyone have pics, examples, suggestions of aftermarket wiring and how to run them for nice looking, safe routing and reliable function? Just routing them in and around brackets and using cable ties is not working for me. I think I remember Brock, RIP had some nice examples, but have not found them. Car has; Gates 5 gauge cluster Center console with 3 more gauges, someone liked gauges After market stereo and sub wiring, but nothing installed Relocated fuel pump, in the front, and wiring Elec washer fluid pump and wiring Some interesting fuse panel connections All done poorly in my opinion Mostly looking for cable management type solutions and routing but all things electrical are welcome. |

Not sure if I can help since I recycled my original harness, after completely removing, repairing, and cleaning it. If you ever think you might do that, then I suggest leaving original wires intact. Perhaps jumpers are better than splices?
