Title: Wiring
Post by: BMIC on January 05, 2015, 06:48:59 AM

Does anyone have a photo of how/where the wire harness is mounted to the driver side fender and firewall. Where did you run the rear light harness so that you could exit the frame to couple with the main harness? Seems everything lays out perfectly except the brake switch wires which appear short.
Thanks

Here are a old few pictures...the jeep is not here or I'd take some fresh pictures...The tail light wires exit the frame just in front of the master cylinder if i remember correctly..

I took these early on to help with the reconstruction.. ;)

Here's from a slightly different angle. You can see from swapping master cylinders and switches so many times the connecting wires are a little bubba-fied. The only switch I could find on a Saturday afternoon had the wrong type of connectors so I had to improvise. The routing of the wires themselves should still be right though.

Thanks Randy/Ryan, I'll look at it tonight but I think exiting the frame before the MC rather than the hole in front could be my problem. You have to be pretty limber to wire these spots under the dash and behind the frame!
Pictures are a great help...
