RE-DONE ELECTRICAL

[stevenc8337]

Hey guys, I am interested in having my car re wired due to little shorts in the wires and old dry rotted wires all over the place. Has anyone ever had their cars re wired from bumper to bumper? Lights, defroster, harness etc. Anyone have photos of this and a price range estimate? Thanks guys.

Go to the local scrap yard and grab the front, engine, dash and rear harness. That I think would be the easiest thing to do.

the two front harnesses are held in place with a 7 mm bolt is the center of the two harness on the back of the fuse box...the rear harness is on the left of the fuse panel and be carefull with those wires, they are aluminum and break pretty easily

Yea that's my problem. A lot of the wires are breaking

I never bother with those alum wires yer best off to make yer own rear harness.

I completely gutted my wiring and replaced it with a painless 18 circuit kit. One of the best thing I ever did for my car.

Which kit did you purchase to use?

I haven't brought a kit yet.

I used the Painless kit 20103. It is the Muscle car harness that uses a bulkhead pass through engine harness just like our cars do so it was a direct fit to the firewall. Looks factory once installed.

You have to keep a couple sub harnesses from the factory harness. Power window, defrost, ECU harness if needed, other specialty options(twilight sentinel, etc.) Basically I took out the entire original harness and then started installing new harness, when I came to a wiring group that was not a basic function or a more complex harness(power windows) then I spliced it in to power, grounds for that circuit. Obviously this is a major undertaking and requires some electrical know-how, but the benefits of all new wiring are awesome. I also solder EVERY connection, I do not use crimp only connectors and splices.
