OK, ready to start on the harness routing in the engine compartment. But first I have to repair a tear in the harness cover, just above the snorkel.

First, getting the grommet on the left side in place.

I also went back to the passenger compartment, to sort out the wire routing for the parking brake handle switch. The tab for the connector will be on the inside of the cross brace.

Here's my planned routing (but inside the cross brace). Looks like enough wire.

To fish the lead, I used a length of welding wire, starting from the center tunnel.

The end popped out the switch hole on the first try! Luck is better than skill?

This whole thing has left me feeling WIRED (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) You and me both. Between disconnecting and removing the harness, cleaning, testing, and repairing it, and now installing it, playing with wires has consumed at least a month! |
