wireing disaster Reply #30 – March 11, 2009, 09:57:02 AM Lets face it, you made a stupid mistake, but you are a smart kid and you will be able to sort this out if you take your time. Just go slow and take your time because if you rush this, its going to get screwed up again. You're more than likely going to have a bunch of burned out fuses also when your done.

wireing disaster Reply #40 – March 16, 2009, 07:45:58 PM ok you guys i found the right front header pannell but now i need the wireing re done. i stripped everything out of the car. dash, seats and carpet. the whole fuse box is melting and a lota wires are melted too, a few good wires but not many.. theres an 87 cougar at a local salvage place. a "u-pull-it" id have to pull the wires out of the salvage car myself. should i just un-plug the wires from the harnesess under the hood and just plug them to the same harnesess under my hood or how should i go about doing this??

wireing disaster Reply #41 – March 16, 2009, 07:52:12 PM Best thing to do As I think, would be to pull them one by one make sure the color of the wires that you pull match the wires that you are replacing. Try not to cut anything if you don't have to, If you do, use electrical connectors instead of just tape. Quote Selected
wireing disaster Reply #42 – March 16, 2009, 08:04:43 PM its at a salvage yard and my car cant move so i dont know exactly wich ones i need and wich ones i dont. but theres a bunch of harnesses under the hood that lead through a hole in the firewall that goes into the firewall so can i just unplug them and pull them out through the firewall and reconnect the new set the same way??
