I'm starting to think about rewiring my engine harness. The wiring on my car is very brittle, has been spliced into, and hacked by previous owners, and just looks like crap. I've already had one failure due to a broken wire, and I suspect some, if not all, of my current trouble could be related to bad wiring.
That said, I'm starting to do my homework on what this will take. My first question is this: does anyone know if the engine harness is still available from Mitsu, and if so, how much do they cost? (I read somewhere a 92 is cheaper than a 91, anyone know why?) I don't have access to CAPS right now, if someone could look the part numbers up for me I'd appreciate it as well.
Secondly, has anyone attempted to do a complete re-wire of their harness before? I'd appreciate any notes you may have taken, or any advise you'd like to give me.
I want to do this right, so I have some specific things I would like to know:
1) How many different wire colors are there in the harness? I plan to try and keep the wire colors as close to stock as I can, so I'll need to know this before I purchase any of my wire.
2)Connectors. Are there any places where I can purchase the specific connectors I will need for this? (especially new pins, if I reuse the old connectors) Are there any connectors on the original harness that can't be reused? (by this I mean with new wire in them, not used with a pigtail of the old wire)
I think that's it for now. I'll post more questions as I come up with them.
