I've been working on cleaning up the wiring under the dash. Primarily wiring to the stereo and center console gauges. The PPO had a lot of wires going nowhere, kind of like the Winchester Mystery House.
Pulled all the stereo componets off. Surprised to find an amplifier. Soldered and crimped new wiring and connectors, including cross overs (??? I don't know, they were there). All of that new wiring is now hanging over my drill press because I couldn't avoid the dreaded scope creep.
So this "little" project was/is one of those: open one thing, find something else to do, go fix it, find something else to do, etc., etc., etc.......
So I concentrated on the passenger side, and the console housing. After I pulled the stereo wiring and componets, I saw the the console housing was falling apart at the back, plus the carpet under the console etc, was freying, plus the seat rails were gummy with old grease, plus, all of the nooks and cranies needed vacuming, plus, plus, plus... I think you get the picture. Good news is that the engine and transmission were not touched. With a strong will my "clean up the wiring" project will not end up as a pull the engine project.
So, with the grace of God, tomorrow I will have everything back together so I can drive the car to work on Monday!!!
