haha your welcome

Damn, I didn't think this would have been so helpful when I first posted it, LOL... Glad you guys are getting good use and enjoyment out of it... I pretty much ended up doing what bowtiekid and nemss1 are doing, got out the factory manual and ended up tracing every wire and getting rid of a lot of crap that wasn't in hte car any more...

Good luck with these projects guys...

But that connector at the firewall is held in by clips on the back side(interior) and then the wires are glued in. So your gonna have to heat it up with a hairblow drier

Any pics of info on removng the entire AIR wiring?

I was more talking about tracing the wires and where they end, etc. It would be much easier to see pics and info rather than just start tracing though an entire harness still in the car. Thanks anyways.

It's time consuming. I have a lot of hours into cutting on mine. I'm going to start working on it again tonight.

hey man, just grab all the accessories u took off of the car and match the harnesses up male to female (some of the female plugs will still be on the car tho) it will narrow things down

I have a question. If your using an aftermarket deck and speakers do you still need the factory speaker harness for the speakers to operate?
