Default Wiring harness.

Hope this is in the right chat. Long story short a so did some work. We was relocating the fuse box in the back. We'll they just cut it up. I took the car back and I have no bcm, harness, pig tails. I will but whatever I need. I run pro EFI computer system so I just need the headlight and things like that. Hope something can help me. Thanks


This is the work I have done. 4.10 ci. 102 mm turbo. Pro EFI computer, th400. I find the work out if my garage.

Your post isn’t very clear exactly. Maybe edit it some and be more clear what you are asking about? Not trying to be a d*ck just trying to get you help. Sounds like maybe the wiring is gutted from the car and you want to add things back like headlights, tail lights, turn signals and brake lights?

You are correct sorry. We gutted the car for more cage work. I did a tublar front end and didn't want the fuse block up front. So the plan was to move it to the back of the car. Instead of just removing the harness they just cut so the wires. Now I have no fuse box and no nothing. I run pro EFI computer system so I take only need lights and things like that. Was asking for opinion on what others would do. I'm not a electric person at all. Thanks for the help and comment. I don't think your being a dick. I appreciate the reply

Pretty simple really.

Just extend each wire you intend to use by splicing with solder and heatshrink. Make sure the wire you use to extend with, is acoupla gauges larger (lower #) than the ones you're extending.

I want to rewire my whole car with a Racepak SmartWire for simplicity and also for better control over things.

Its expensive for what it is, but it could save a lot of time and frustration in the long run.

Honestly I don’t know much about the system you posted and weather or not it can control lights and other functions that you want to add back into the car. What I would look into is maybe a painless universal wiring setup. It would come with a fur panel and I’m sure all the wires you would need to wire everything back up. Like lights brake light turn signals power windows radio and so on. Just an idea. Then you could mount the fuse panel wherever you want and run the wires from there

No need to bother with that. Unless of course, you're looking to turn your car into an immobile garage ornament.

Won't save even so much as one second of time if the remainder of your stock harness is still in functional condition.

Extend the wires that feed things you want to preserve, with wire about 2 gauges larger than the ones that are there now.

I suggested what I’m saying because every single wires is labeled what it goes to and what it’s for. Very simple to wire if you are not good at wiring like the op said he’s not. Plus it allows you to mount the fuse panel almost anywhere. Also gets rid of wires that you don’t need and sheds a couple of pounds. Was just an idea

Just extending the wires is even easier and better.

See a big red wire? Add a 12' (or 13', or 9'6", or whatever) piece of even bigger red wire. See a medium yellow wire? Add a 12' somewhat more medium piece of yellow wire. See a wire that comes from a fuse that feeds something you're not going to keep working; the pass side powder mirror in the visor for example? Then don't add a wire for that.

Too easy.

Those stand-alone harnesses are great for something like a purpose-built stripped-to-the-bone race car chassis, no interior or lights or anything, where you're only powering certain things that everybody has to power (starter, ignition, alternator, ...) and adds acoupla extra circuits for variable things that some but not all race cars might need (electric fans, nitrous solenoids, ...) but NOTHING ELSE is going to be retained. Not that it's "bad" or anything; just, a question of suitability for purpose. That's not what the OP is doing. For example, he mentions the BCM. Any of those stand-alones support THAT?

The OP seems to simply need to lengthen the wires to his fuse box. Well, some or most of them, anyway. Pretty easy to do that without trying to completely replace the entire car's wiring.
