Well, I have the underdash harness out of the car (finally). The dameage is worse than I thought. Both of the square connectors that come out of the firewall have several wires a piece that look like they were laid on a hot header for an hour or so.
Some of the wires in the loom have had the insulation completly burned off, then re-wrapped with e-tape (!)
Making sense out of things is going to be a nightmare. Heres what I'm planning. Pointers, suggestions, expierences, etc are
more than welcome.
1:unwrap and clean up what i've got, and number all the wires I can ID with the factory number from the diagram.
2:Seperate the "mess" into mini-looms by system (int/ext lighting, starting/charging, courtesy/comfort etc)
3:replace the obvious damage to the mini-looms, then continuity test them.
4: The hard part, try to reintegrate them into something that I can put back into the car.
What do you folks think? Am I missing anything? I'll post pics of the mess as soon as I get some space on the digital.
BTW,
Anyone here looking to sell a used complete underdash harness?

Oh, and Hobgoblin, believe me, Ive already laid in a supply of misc connectors, heat shrink tube and zip ties
