Buying all new wiring this winter for the Duster- where to go?
Here's how the harnesses break down:
There's the forward light harness, which is the headlights, parking lights, side marker lights, etc....This connects to the bulkhead connector and ties into the dash harness.
Then there's the engine harness, which you can get already modified for electronic ignition and the later dual-field alternator, which has your starter wiring, coolant sensor lead, oil pressure, and the a fore mentioned ignition and alternator wiring. This goes to the bulkhead connector and meets....
The pricey one, the dash harness. This goes from the firewall bulkhead connector up to the dash and has the light switch, gauges, wipers, fuse box, etc. This harness terminates at the left footwell where it continues to.....
The rear light harness, which goes from the left footwell back to the rear tail, brake, directional, reverse lights, and the fuel sending unit.
BTW: If your thinking about adding a third brake light, electric fuel pump, power trunk release, etc. plan it out now and route that auxiliary harness with the new one. Much easier to do now while your pulling up carpet and trim.
Guys, wiring intimidates a lot of people. There's no mystery to it. If you take your time and PAY ATTENTION (no blaring radios, drunk friends, screaming children, barking dogs ...or wive's.) and it's easy. When your distracted or not paying attention is where the trouble starts. Wiring is a circle. Power in, ground out. Clean, tight connections is, in a very broad stroke, about it.
