Was that harness in the car already? Or somebody made it for you?

Harness was in a car and not mine. I did not make the harness.

I got contacted to fix the harness by a local guy through ls1 tech because the car would not start and wouldn't communicate with the PC. Essentially it was dead.

My harnesses are more streamlined and not wrapped in black electrical tape. I will add relays and fuses as well as tidy it up so it is more compact. Then load the latest firmware and load a basic file to get it started. Then street and dyno tune it if the owner wants me to do that much.

Good Lord! I see that kind of stuff all the time, . Just not with microsquirt.

With no relays or fusing that thing was a ticking time bomb.

Ill be watching for the new vid. Im sure the new product will look much better!
