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!

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.

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.

it must've been hard to drive your car all those miles while ignoring the sound of tires rubbing the harness away on your overslammed car. now you come to the forum and cry for help because you cant patch a few wires.

solder
solder torch
shrink tubing
lighter

real tough fix there, BOSSSS

ogs14

Alright bro I get it! I'm a f****** idiot because I'm new to this and thought id get alittle help from you guys which by thr way my question was already aswered so your comment is not nesscary. So stop bashin on people because not everybody is a BOSSSSS like you

ericcastro

Bro, he couldnt hear it over the N1 exhaust :P

hey man, go easy on him. Not everyone is capable of a 3rd grade edumacation like you mkay?

Boost_Fiend

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.

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.

ixfxi

hehehe i think i saw them do this repair on car warriors once...

and i dont even watch tv

ManoNegra

Cheap coilovers should come with a retard warning for this.

lflkajfj12123

thread is retarded but mike and castro take the cake

drftx

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?

True, but it doesn't have to be done that way. Butt connectors work just as well.

Absolutely not!

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.

bataangpinoy

Thank you for using proper english.

ixfxi

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.

slydin240sx

Really? Not acceptable yet they work perfectly fine!

They work just as good as soldering them would. If they didn't I should have issues still right? Right.....

ogs14

Soldered wires back together and still no start up

!Zar!

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.

Instead of just calling me a fucking idiot, explain to me why a butt connector isn't good? Cause apparently the damn things work just fine!!

!Zar!

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

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.
