Thread: Harness and wiring information

For me, there is damage to my factory harness in several locations- to use the adapter harness I'd first have to remove my harness and repair it. And honestly if I'm doing all the work of removing the harness, I'd rather spend the time fitting a harness that wouldn't require an adapter at all. I'm also not sure the guy Jscott is still around

The issue will be that in order to keep factory power windows and door locks (If you have them) and other things that can't be moved over since they're physically part of the vehicle will basically have to be reverse engineered to make sure it'll work and how to integrate it.

Would this be as easy as taking the connectors from the fiero harness, Removing the connectors from the new harness and then replacing them with the Fiero connectors? I've never dove this deep into the wiring of a car.

Of course, any small engineering things you get stuck on, I'd be willing to help here and there though!

I've got two potential fbody cars in the wings, one is a 3.8 the other isn't- any idea how difficult it would be to get teh 3.8sc engine harness to play nice with the non 3.8 harness?
I'm browsing some fbody forums and groups now, waiting for answers as well
