Alright, so my car has a few )Hundred) electrical bugs in it. my body harness is cut up chewed up and abused (from previous owner) fuck who knows. either way its tore up and its pissing me off. I was dealing with the stereo that i had to remove in order to turn off, the ignition relay that turnede off a f ew minutes after i shut the engine off, the non working interior lamp, and well now the fact that my charging suystem is not working alternator, and starter checked out fine, and the batteyr is brand new. it pretty much toped it off. so I am really considering going to a junk yard and harvesing me another Body harness. to clean and put into my car. what do you guys think? shall i unvail myself into such a task and hope not tot comit a crime against humanaty int he process??? its really gotten to me already checled all the fuses and stuf so I kinda wanna redo my entire wiring and make sure i got a good clean grimlin free harness. (and ofcourse rewire the RB20, and the lower harness to accomodate neatness) sooo err yeah discuss, advice, and eh flame away I guess.

that may be your best solution.

or you can just make one with the bare minimum of what you need using Painless Wiring's kits

For an S13 it's a little more tedious, but not bad. The underhood harness begins at the steering column and the SMJ and travels outside, around the core support, and back inside if you have cruise or an automatic.

The interior harness starts at the SMJ and runs across the dash and down both sides of the car, wrapping around the rear and meeting at the passenger quarter panel. Note that they're are not prewired for options so whatever you have in your car and want to keep, the donor car must have it too. Other than that it's a lot of cutting zip ties and unbolting ground lugs, that's it.
