dash harness!
- Thread starter Godspeed
- Start date
Plan on at least a few hours....
There's a couple of write ups out there for removing the dash... The harness you'll have to see, once you get behind the dash.
Squeezing the harness past the A/C blower when removing and installing is the biggest PITA!!
Gotta disconnect the harness connectors inside the passenger fender (bend/remove the wheelwell liner), then also disconnect everything where the ABS actuator is at, to pull all that thru.
BIG STEP!!! Check the connectors for the doors and inside the fender, to make sure that they match up before you even begin. I dunno what year you're messing with, but there are MANY connector differences between pre-89 and 89+.... If it's from any 89, there can still be differences. CHECK FIRST!!! You will be pissed after doing alot of work, to find that the replacement harness doesn't work (ask me how I know).

well i have no heat or ac unit at all already removed it. my car is an 87 the harness is from an 88. so it should be plug and play right?
Its really not hard at all. it took me about an hour an a half to switch it on my 88, and i had no clue what i was getting into. but should be fairly easy. im sure there is a few write ups. but u could PM me if u need any help.

what all does the dash harness control? does it control anything in the engine bay?
the reason im changing it is cuz when the guy i got the car from swapped the motor he swapped everything including the gauge cluster. so my gauges are rhd and dont fit right. also the only pwr options that work inside my car is the windows and drivers seat. so there for i need to change the harness so i can use a us cluster and i could eventually put the heat back in if i wanted to.
