burnt thru my fender wiring harness.
what sizeare the wires in there? all the same or different?
about to go to where the car is and take the fender off and see how much damage i've done.

car doesn't start.
so i'm assuming a lot.

any and all help would be MUCH apprectiated.

i hit a pot hole so hard that it musta just snapped the ziptie from wher eit was and let the harness free and it was rubbing all the way home. thought i could make it.

thought wrong..

it varies from like 10g to 16g wired.. nothing big. make sure you solder those badboys..

^^^ Yup, the only problem is there are a few wires that are the same color but go to different things... taht, and the fact that there are a billion and a half wires, with 2 solders/wire... it takes a while lol.

don't forget to disconnect your battery before you start digging into the wire (just in case).

also, check your fuses & relays afterward - most likely, some of them fried as well.

you can take the haness and zip tie it up into your fender. so theres no chance it will rub.

I relocated my fuse box to behind the glove compartment. It was a bitch. And I ended up not using many of the factory circuits anyway... double bitch.

I pulled my fender off last month and tried my best to relocate the thing and zip tie the harness but sure enough the tire burnt through the zip ties and the harness is just hanging over my tire now.. so not driving it until i figure it out.
