spent about eight hours in the car wiring today

[lostforawhile]

got something substantial actually done, this is getting wired like the space shuttle this time, I'm getting way to old to do contortions inside of the car doing this stuff. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2629/3958116680_5dd1a98b70.jpg

I've used close to 800 feet of wire in two days building harnesses.

Wow, you are still so far from done. Are you rebuilding the factory looms or are these special looms for the death ray and scud missile launchers? If you are rebuilding factory looms, I'd be curious to know how you are doing that. How are you matching the color coding, connectors, etc.? My looms are getting stiff and brittle and it won't be much longer before I start having trouble with them. I'm already breaking off connectors.

Looks good but, what are you actually wiring?

the alarm system, try 100 wires just off of it, the stereo system, the voice module (bitchin betty) , the power door lock system, various switches and controls in the car, fog lamps, driving lamps, stuff under the hood, marker lamps, center console, gauges, just keeps going on. I had to stop working on it for a while because of all the stuff going on with my family. try for two years. and I forgot about the solenoids for the hatch release and the gas door release, plus the cup holder thing i built that slides out from under the seat, the video screen in the back, and various other things

I forgot about the dash i'm working on too, I found a better one at the yard, but thats being worked on in the house. once it's all wired up, i'll go ahead and dye it, and put it in in one piece. everything from the harnesses now goes to plugs, once the harnesses are secured everything plugs in. also i made that battery box for the odyssey out of the old tool box i restored, it bolts to the floor pan behind the passenger seat, and a lot of circuits go to it, because it has fuse panels inside,

the bar that the tire bolts too is 3/8 thick spring steel, it bolts to the frame of the car, and the tire bolts to it, it will also be the location of the jumper cable plug in.
