Re: The New Project: Part Deux!
It's an addiction, I tell ya!
This evening I cleaned the rear tail light harness. It was completely embedded in that rustproofing goop, like a fossilized bug in amber. I ended up having to soak it in diesel fuel to loosen the stuff. It finally came out clean and I stripped off all the old wrapping and rewrapped it in the new harness tape. I'm glad it stripped it out as I found an entire section of five wires that had been cut and hand twisted back together, all in the same spot. An electrical fire waiting to happen.

The tailights are now all working again. Even the reverse lights!
The new engine harness should arrrive tomorrow. The existing one had a whole bunch of bad splices and burnt sections. It was also missing the a/c compressor power wire and the TCS harness section was left hanging on the exhaust and melted away.
With all this work, I'm only trying to make the car safe and dependable.
I wouldn't want to jeopardize its "As Found" status for this Year's MCACN. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]
