now i have to wait and see if the shop can fix the cut wires or get a whole new harness.

[Nkelley]

that shouldnt be an issue to fix at all.

[240drifter1]

Have you ever color matched wires before? My 19month old son could do it, weve all been there, done that. Throw it through your engine bay and be done.

you unloom it take the 5 or 6 wires broken, take new wire to bridge the gap and match colors. solder and heatshrink. done

[Sumslapper]

That happened to me too after 2 years of being lazy. Time to take the fender off and stuff that baby way up there.

dude, you have some electrical tape and a 3rd grade education? if you need to use your car it will take you all of 3 minutes to fix with etape and not have the wires touching.

when your all done, check your fuses to make sure nothing blew when the wires were touching. dont wanna cross the streams.

Take the fender off. Unloom that area of the harness. Color match wires. Solder. Heat shrink it. And put your fender back on. Easy as that.

HAHAHAHAHAHA.

is it really that difficult to take off your fender, pull up your harness, and ziptie it? its like a 10 minute job lol.

That only works for so long! I did that the first time it started rubbing through. You either need to relocate the harness through the engine bay or notch the fender support and pull the harness up over the metal lip.

[JasianBlazin]

You are right. I cut a slit(notched) and hammered the metal lip and pulled the harness as high as I could.

[slydin240sx]

You are right. I cut a slit(notched) and hammered the metal lip and pulled the harness as high as I could.

I used a grinder and notched a area of the lip off. Then I used a old hose and cut sections of it to wrap around the harness. This was a after I fixed it, and re wrapped it in electrical tape. Then I used a couple zip ties to hold it in place.

I had the same no start issue with my car at the time as well. After I repaired the fender well portion of the harness, my car started right up!

[ashtonroche]

Why you should not let your wiring harness get all ghetto, if it was secured up where its supposed to be then this would have never happened and or if your car wasnt soo low with oversized tires. lol.

And yes that is about the easiest fix in the world. lol. Seriously, match size and color. The only wires in there that are of any difficulty are the white power wires that come from the box into the cabin for all your power to the interior fuse box, ignition and so on. But thats where size matching comes in handy because they are all different size wires. Pretty simple to fix.

[SLiDe_WaYz]

If you already fucked it up, you might as well go to a junkyard and cut off the harness's on a junked one, and do what I just got done doing. Cut, solder, heat shrink and color match each wire and run them through the actual fender holes in the chassis so you NEVER have a issue with any type of wheel/tire you get and can go as low as you like.

lowering is over rated. stock ride height ftw.

[StryfeS13]

Fixing that is so damn easy. A shop must love you, it's like free money.

Pull the harness tape back, look at the wires that have been fucked up, match colors, solder, heatshrink, tuck, done.

[RedSiBaron]

This should never happen to anyone...

if you lower your car and/or change the wheel/tire setup, you should be checking for interference of components. If you don't, you shouldn't be working on your car.

This is an easy fix, if you can't look at this and figure it out, you shouldn't be working on your car.

This isn't being a dick op, this is being honest...

[mantas]

Why is this even a thread? Tons of info about this already plus any monkey with a wrench would figure to check for this if the car is lowered.

That's why you move all wiring to the inside of the car, and then run the wires to the plugs in the engine bay. Reduces the wire mass substantially. I did it, cleans up the bay very well, but took a while to do because my first time EVER messing with wiring of that magnitude.

butt connectors?


total_fucking_idiot

butt connectors are barely acceptable for non critical items like corner-store radio or alarm installations, where they zip-tie and loom everything under your dash so you have this rats-nest of wiring

but connectors are hardly acceptable for: unknown OEM chassis wires going to the front of your car.

but from the looks of your tires, ide say you dont have much to worry about. at this point, it appears your car may not even be a 240... oh well, whatever.

At first I thought you were trolling.

But after reading your previous comments, I have come to realize you are a fucking idiot and know nothing about electrical resistance.

That sounds like an electrical fire waiting to happen.


As for this thread, my wheel fell off of my car once and ate through the whole engine harness.

I cut, soldered, lengthened, and heat wrapped, then wrapped every wire through my engine bay. Those few wires are no problem to fix.

Check your fuses; most likely the main fuse (75a iirc) Possibly ECU even.

You want me to spoon feed you because your ass is lazy?

Here you go baby boy.
Electrical resistance and conductance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resistance_and_conductance)

The lower the resistance the better. Think of it as a game of telephone. The less people you have to spread the word, the less likely things will end up fucked up.

Not to mention the ECU is made to see certain resistance values. Tossing butt connectors is sure to change the information it sees.

Checks the fuse still nothing what should I check for in ecu

[!Zar!]

Did you check the big fuses as well? They look almost like mini relays.

Easiest way is to try a different ecu.

Though I guess you could try and look at the board for burning / damage to any of the traces/resistors/circuits.

[milk_with_pulp]

This is pure common sense,
it did happen to a buddy of mine when he first bought a hatch, slammed it, didn't touch wiring, as we are driving etc with his lights on, headlights would pop up and down up and down each going separate and when he would start his car, the horn would go off and on then after ignition stopped turning it would shut off.

Cannot seem to find the video but sure was comedy. This definitely didn't deserve a thread though.
Can't complain about pointless posts if I am adding to it.

[ogs14]

OKAY! so i fixed my problem about the cut wires so people who are arguing about nothing please move your conversation to facebook or something like that thanks for the help for the people who helped me out!

[S13teen]

I would also recommend, highly urge you to buy a nice soldering iron or gun and do the connections again.

You should use 60/40 Rosin core solder which is quite cheap and works superbly.

Why you should not use butt connectors and butt connectors are quite inferior opposed to baller solder with shrink wrap.

Correct/Properly soldered wirings with utilization of shrink wrapping has great benefits:

1. Great connection contacts
2. Slimmer profile and you should solder in a staggered orientation so if you have multiple wires the solder joints are not all at one area when you loom or tape the entire harness thus no bulge.
3. Stronger physically

Defects of button conectors:

1. Bulky, so if you need your harness to be slim, 10-20 butt connectors would be thicker than how it was originally
2. Most of the times, you don't crimp it correctly the wires pull out
3. water can be trapped in the butt connectors

So, for anyone who thinks Butt connectors are great, that person or persons are kinda noobish. If you truly know about doing things right and not mickey mouse, you know soldering is the correct method. Using butt connectors for emergency or things that are NOT CRUCIAL components is fine.

If you butt connect speaker wires, great, but I wouldn't recommend it on important electrical/mechanical systems.

Butt connectors are like ZipTies, sure great and easy to use until it snaps and pieces of your car falls off.

IN addition, this wire scraping happened to a friend of mine during the last drift event, and he opted to just change the entire harness and not even deal with the splice. Drastic, but if you have a nice car, you might as have a clean harness.

[ixfxi]

I would also recommend..................<snip>

see, this guy is smart. take note everyone, he has like 60 posts and is actually making a smart and informative post. i dont make smart and informative posts anymore. this is what happens when you've been around for too long and only post when you're eating breakfast. no worries, we can thank the above user for saving face for the rest of you new school toolbags who dont know your ass from a hole in the ground

crimp connectors do not qualify as a proper repair - they're patch fixes. the only time a crimp connector is even acceptable is if has been crimped with a proper crimper, which most cheap fucks dont have. they have the typical squeeze tool that notchthe connector. I think I spent $50+ on my crimp tool, and i only use it for temp or non-critical fixes. all critical items (like a fucking CHASSIS harness) should be soldered and sealed with shrink tubing.

example of shitty crimp tool (~10-20 bucks):

Does it really matter? Once the fender is on, even if the zipties break they'll still be held up there since the wires are sandwiched between that metal lip and the fender. Next time my front lip cracks and I don't have money to throw away on another one that'll just crack again I'll just stitch it back together with adel clamps...

Hang yourselves. All of you, die.

Im trying to figure out what exactly you unplug to pull your harness so I can run it through the bay? I looked last night and everythings to jumble fucked to actually tell.

Not only are you an idiot, you are a blind one.

You want me to spoon feed you because your ass is lazy?

Here you go baby boy.
Electrical resistance and conductance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resistance_and_conductance)

The lower the resistance the better. Think of it as a game of telephone. The less people you have to spread the word, the less likely things will end up fucked up.

Not to mention the ECU is made to see certain resistance values. Tossing butt connectors is sure to change the information it sees.

Sorry, but you're wrong Zar. Butt connectors suck, but not at all for the reason you're listing. Butt connectors have a negligible effect on resistance. The reason they suck is that they are an unreliable connection. They are often improperly crimped, the wires pull out, dirt and grime and salt gets into them, etc.


took 15 mins and common sense..... i see people dont have that now a days

electrical tape then tuck done if you cant do stuff like this why mod a car?


Funny, to me, common sense suggests that you re-locate the harness *before* your tire chews through the wires.
