Oh this intrigues me then.....im not good with wires and electronics....ill keep updated on this thread since im out of country for atleast a month...get to it kenny lol



jk nice start though

 

Oh is there any difference between a sedan and coupe harnesses?

 

Might use the above for my tuck.

 

i believe the harness is the same. i could be wrong though.

 

I've done this before on other cars.


One little peice of advice to keep in mind. The wires do sometimes get pulled tight in order to reach into the fender. Pay careful attention to areas where the wiring can chaff against metal or through sharp holes. Add rubber grommets, extra insulation or whatever you can do to protect the wires in high rub areas just to prevent potential future problems.

Reason I say this is because I did a wire tuck on a past car and had some issues with it running a couple years down the road. After a few weeks or troubleshooting, I discovered one of my tucked wires had rubbed through the insulation in a tight bend and had shorted itself to metal which was giving me issues.


Just a heads up.

 

great advice. i was thinking of this today when i was doing the possitive wire.

 

thanks for the write up , im doing this in the near future

 

dang ima try this thans bro for help and piks put up this will help alot for peeps cant afford wire tucks ..

 

"-there a multiple solutions for this but i chose the easiest and its probably kinda ghetto but it works for now.

-i took a peice of cardboard and painted it black and glued it to the backside of the hole haha"

Lol that made my evening!!

 

i did the wire tuck as explained in the first post on my 04.5 x and everything worked fine. . . i did have to extend one of the washer pump wires as well as both the ground wires (i just put them to the negative of the battery terminal). . . the big wire harness kind of shows between the fender liners where they meet tho. . question is: i tried to tuck the two wires going to the + of the battery but couldn't find the big square hole, i even took the battery out

 

I have some extra polyurethane plastic you can use to cover those holes Kenny.

 

there are 2 big square holes on the outside of the battery compartment right in between it and the motor. but i stuck my hand in there and i couldnt find any hole that lead from the square hole to inside of the battery compartment. which is why i ended up drilling my own

 

cool thanks chris

 

should be an update tomrrow evening. going to tackle the drivers side loom that goes over the fender
