Attempt at a wire tuck

[Fbseis]

First try wasn’t much of a revision but 2nd pic was a whole new harness due to a short from the previous.

Nothing fancy whatsoever just came out as if it were to look somewhat of a decent wire tuck.



Noticable difference in size between first and second efforts.


Final revision will be with Raychem heat shrink instead of loads of electrical tape.

So far so good

mad props to you. I've not seen anyone attempt a wire tuck here at all

Agreed, that is awesome! I'm shitty at wiring, so I'd be afraid to try, but I'd love to do it myself. How hard of a time was it? Besides the fried harness...

a few hours breaking down the the plastics and loom that came with the harness originally. just after that think like a roll or 2 of electrical tape got everything wrapped up.

the hard part is most definitely on the final revision



basically all of the sensor clips have to be depinned to fit heat shrink tubing



this being the annoying part it did help to keep the old harness as a reference. wouldn’t be as bad if the turn around time was sooner because it’s simpler than expected, just remember the pins from right to left with the clip facing up

You sir are one brave person.

**** that, you're a better man than me. I'd have a dead car in my garage, lol

good thing having everything apart already, otherwise this would’ve never happened without a back up. the old harness is getting a legitimate modification with revision of the same heat shrink minus the horrendous amount of wire left over that they keep in the harness along with the terminal block delete, will put the soldering skills to the test

 

[Fbseis]

finally more so of a finished revision. most annoying part being the terminal block. minus depinning almost every sensor for heat shrink. kinda gave in not to go all out per say, but majority having the same heat shrink as the wiretuck kits out for the older gens.



takes up so much less space in comparison. now to slap it all on.

Wow looks like a professional did it.

Can't wait to see it in the car

Can't wait to see it in the car

exactly

 

[Fbseis]

where it’s at so far. but this thread goes with the full rebuild thread as well as everything tied together soon.

 

[webby]

can't imagine getting all of that together correctly without having stuff labeled

 

[Fbseis]

hardest parts remembering which wire went for each clip, weren’t for having another harness would’ve had to do along those lines

 

[Fbseis]

can only see part of it but will swear it’s all hooked up. think that was the point meanwhile getting closer to a better shot, some more pics if anything.

 

[bauer311]

It's coming together nicely!

Looking good
