So the car that I'm doing my Subaru conversion on just had a major setback tonight. My body wiring harness is no longer installed (for the most part). I pulled the wiring from the front trunk and also from the dash area. Its going to get stripped of wiring that I don't need, and I'm going to add wiring that I do need that isn't there.
For instance: Deleting: > fresh air blower wiring (I'm going to weld over the fresh air inlet and not use it. > side marker wiring (not using) > dome light (not putting in a backpad, going to do something else for light) > heater controls (Ripped out stock heater controls, going to do a custom variable speed control for the dual blowers that I'm going to install someday) > Door switches (I consider this excess, useless wiring) > Seatbelt relay and Logic relay (again, useless to me) Probably more too... Adding: > OBD II wiring for Subrau engine up to dash board > harness wiring for Subaru ECU (going to be mounted between seats at the firewall, on the floor.) > wiring for windshield washer pump > 12 volt distribution for engine bay, front and rear trunks and under the dash (for stuff like tools, etc.) > DC and AC wiring for power inverter (to power a laptop, etc.) So like I said I caught a bad case of Dirk Wright's Disease. I've taken it upon myslef to redo the wiring instead of use what was probably a 99% functional body wiring harness. Luckily most of the wiring will stay the same, but the way I do the fuses and relays in the cabin will change considerably. I know I'm not the only one here who does this sort of thing. We need a 12 step program. -Tony |
