Car is on the rotiserrie. The only thing I left on the car was the wiring harness and the fuse panel. The rear wires were all bundled up nicely in a bag in the engine compartment. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/devil.gif)
I was welding up a patch in the fire wall from the drivers compartment side, and I guess some sparks flew into the engine compartment and started the bag on fire. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/new_shocked.gif) By the time I noticed it was on fire and put it out I had some big clumps of plastic and the fused together wire was toast!! Anyone got a good used wiring harness....cheap??? |

DO NOT SPLICE THE HARNESS TOGETHER You will end up with problems that will take you months to sort out. I would follow the advice of most of the members here.. get a complete harness from a car of the same year. You will have much better luck by doing that. Andy wrote an excellent article on how to replace the harness. Pull it now and finish the welding. Then put the replacement complete harness in the car. |
