OK I am trying to figure out the wiring for my 2.7 conversion and I see this. I talked with the PO and he hadn’t done any wiring changes, so he was not any help in why the additions to the harness. I should also point out that I am an idiot when it comes to auto wiring. The first photo I just need some one to confirm the wires for me.
Thanks for any help |

Are you good at soldering? Crimp connectors should be avoided especially for splices. For splices, go with a "Bell telephone" connection where one twists the wires togther length-wise. You then solder the connection & cover it with shrink tubing. Don't cut any strands either since this can cause additional resistance. Be patient with wire harness repairs & be sure to do it right.

Sorry, but soldering connections for cars is currently WAY out of favor. Manufacturers specifically FORBID their service personnel from doing it. Crimps, properly done, are mandated. That goes for aircraft, too, only more. The Cap'n |

Of course dealers don't recommend it, it's hard as hell to do right (especially when the harness is buried in the car) & therefore very expensive. |
