Rear wiring harness (continued)

wiring in engine compartment
Once in the engine compartment I needed to pass all this wiring through a 3/4 inch hole in the upper driver footbox.  Yeah, right.

I guess this is where folks start removing wires. I was too nervous to do that at this point.  I passed only the wires that had connectors I labeled for under the dash.

In the picture you can see where I only passed part of the wiring into the footbox. The cable that comes forward in the picture was for passenger side door and seat belt so I think I will be able to cut that out.  I'll wait until I start the engine before I cut any wires.

wiring in the footbox

This is where I do my John Madden imitation. Just like John, who shows us who messed up on a football play, I am using that magic pen to try and show where my rear harness wiring is coming into the footbox.

I actually trimmed a little of the sheet metal away in order to get that cable in place.  All edges are protected with that plastic edging that was in the kit. 


transmission wiring harness
The transmission wiring harness was much easier to install.  It popped right into place and then I used a combination of tie wraps and hot glue to route the wiring up to the front of the foot box., up behind the gas pedal and behind the dash.

Hummm wait Texas second, I have three connectors on the other side of the aluminum panel and only two connectors on the transmission??? Time to post another question on the forum!
