This needed its own thread?!

Nicelyphe · 03-24-2012, 10:13 PM

Easy to fix for sure

240drifter1 · 03-24-2012, 10:16 PM

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.

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.

Guarenteed your car starts right up!

Here's my fix.

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.

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