6.0 PRE-INSTALLATION AND GENERAL HARNESS ROUTING GUIDELINES
The installation mainly constists in two parts:
• The physical routing and securing of the wire harness, wires, and groups.
• The proper connection of the individual circuits.
These two major tasks are not separate steps, but are intergated together. That is, you will route wire
and make some connections, route some more wires and make some more connections.
We can not tell you how to route your harness, but we can offer some guidelines. Pre-installation and
general harness routing guidelines starting in Section 6.0, GENERAL installation instructions in Section
7.0, and precise instructions concerning the electrical connections you have to make, beginning in Section
8.0. Remember this harness was designed to be routed in the original manner.
To help you begin thinking through the installation of your new harness, read the following sections.
6.0.1 Famiarlize yourself with your harness by locating each of the sections as listed in Table
10.2 Wire Connection Index on pages 20-22.
(whenever a particular section is referred to in these instructions it is shown in “ all
caps”: ENGINE SECTION A)
6.0.2 A good exercise is to lay out the wire harness on the floor next to your vehicle and
indentify all the SECTIONS. You will want to route the harness through and around open
areas. Inside edges provide extra protection from hazards and also provides places for tie
wraps, clips, and other supports.
6.0.3 Route the harness away from sharp edges, exhaust pipes, and hood, trunk, and door
hinges.
6.0.4 Plan where harness will be located. Always allow enough slack at places where
movement could occur (body to frame, frame to engine, ect.). Use a support every 12
inches unless the harness routes under the floor carpet.
6.0.5 At the wire ends don’t depend on the terminals to support the harness. The weight could
cause terminals to disconnect or copper wire strand to break.
6.0.6 The wire should be bundled in groups. Use tie wraps, convoluted split loom, or electrical
tape for harness coverings.
7.0 GENERAL HARNESS INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
7.1 ROUGH INSTALLATION
Note: Harness routing and shaping is a time consuming task. Taking your
time will enhance the beauty of your installation. Please be patient and
TAKE YOUR TIME.
7.1.1 Mold harness groups to the coutour of the floor pans, firewall, fender panels,and
any other areas where wire or harness groups are routed. Remember to always
route the harness away from sharp edges, exhaust pipes, hood and door hinges.
Note: Do not tighten tie wraps and mounting devices at this time. Make all
harness attachments LOOSELY.
