hi.

iv searched my nuts off the last 2 days but cannot find any info.

i want to re route my harness into the cabin infront of the door http://forumbilder.se/images/f90201285046P825b.jpg

my question is this... is there a write up anywhere to do this? need to see what blocks to dissconnect, and how to dissconnect them as i dont want to break anything.
what wholesaw size i need
and just general help doing this as i have my loom tucked above the wheel... but its very close at full lock where the loom enters the cabin of the car so ill need to move it and fill the hole.

its a s15 but im sure the looms are similar and im taking the dash out atm so it shoukd be easier
thanks

You'll need to use the FSM wiring diagrams and go to town. There arent write ups persay but there are a few threads about relocating the harness.

this will be an long and tedious process. Just leave it alone lol. Pull it up away from the tire and dont touch it

Sometimes its more than that. I had to do it on my build because my intake manifold was infringing on the factory fuse box location. I didnt want to just move it to another location in the engine bay if I had to move it. So I relocated mine into the jack location.

Long and tedious is an understatement. Make sure you lay out the time for it, it involves a lot if youre just digging into it.

You have to unbolt them, it's a 10mm bolt head, then it may take some effort to pull the connectors apart.
