where did you get the wiring harness from.....?

hotwheels · « **Reply #3 on:** April 14, 2011, 10:18:02 AM »

the harness is from ron francis wiring............all the wiring is labeled, it's just a matter of running and connecting all the wiring. It's set up for a little bit of a newer vehicle, but i should be able to make it work.......just gonna be time consuming.

I got it........truck starts, headlights work hi beams and low beams, turn signals, brake lights, everything.............man am i excited. Can't believe i only blew 2 fuses during the testing process...damn grounding issue, but that's fixed now too.

I've only driven it in my driveway and it seems good so far. Hopefully plate it in a week or so and take it for a real test drive.

I'd way rather put in a new harness thatn try to diagnose a hacked original harness. It's actually less stressful to install alll new wiring. Glad it all went relativly smooth for ya!

Thanks man. Yea it was pretty straight forward starting with a new harness. Other then the duraspark issue, everything went smoothly.

That is what I done, a new harness. Had the fuse box and all wiring was labeled. It made it a breeze.

It was pretty sweet..............until my one wire fire. Damn truck wouldn't start, but i fixed it using an ignition module off of a 78 camaro distributor...
