My chassis wire harness is garbage. Recently the wires have started to disintegrate and I have shorts everywhere. When I fix one spot somewhere else fails, and I have to band-aid more crap. I am starting to worry about my car catching fire, and I'm tired of it.
My car is a 74 with a carbed v8. I'm not thrilled about the prospect of buying a used 40yo harness either. My question is have any of you out there installed a painless/universal chassis harness in your cars? If so how did you wire the dimmer/light switch/pop up headlights and 2 speed wipers? What problems did you come across, and what fix it? Thanks Zach |
