Where are you located in PA? If your close by i can come by and help you out. I am almost finished on my fuse box relocation, all i have to do is solder the extended wires together.

Thats on a 2g there buddy. A 1g is a little different. We have like only have plus or minus 25 wires and if you splice the harness open alot the wires are spliced together so thats a lot of extra wire you might want to take out. As
it gets a little complicated when your actually sorting out wires. There are also two connecters that need to be extended in a 1g when doing the relocation. The link above does have good information thought.

 

Theres nothing about a fuse relocation thats hard?

Cut and lable your wires (one by one if need be) each by number (1-1, 2-2, 3-3) etc.

Take a soldering torch (not a gun, the mini torches) and solder on all your extenders on the fuse box side. (MUCH easier this way)

Mount it where you want it.

(At this point depending on how good you are with electrical you can began soldering everything up, but if you aren't slide your number markers down further on the extender tip)

Match each number up accordingly.

Solder. (one by one)

Done.

Takes a couple hrs at most. ESPECIALLY in a 1G.

Just double check your tags and if all numbers (between 26 and 28ish on a 1g and 36-46ish on a 2g) match up you are golden.

Just make sure you unplug your battery durring all of this and its easy as pie.

I might just start doing this locally for some coinage if everyone is so timid to do it..

Thanks for the write up. It didn't answer my question. I need to know the best location to run the wir. I would like it hidden so just going over the trans mount isn't really what I am looking for.

Once again thanks, but I have read that numerous times and it didn't answer my question. I am also talking with him via PM to get some more information since he doesn't really mention it in the thread.

I will post a little more information about where my harness is cut...

The red was the route planned, but i wouldn't be able to drop the trans so thats a no go.

Any ideas?

 

Wires... Mother of God.

 

I have had different opinions on wire gauge, some say use 12 for eveyrthing besides the alternator/battery, they say use 8 for that.
Anyone got any input?

 

Not to hijack the tread or anything but im begining my rewire and fuse box relocation. Im on day two and about 6 hours. Its starting to fall together now. I should have most of it done by the weekend with some pics. How are you guys running your wires?

 

Hey yellow, did you ever get some pics up of this?

 

I have yet to finish it. I was out of town for a few weeks and havent had a chance to tidy it all up. As soon as i am done i will post some pics.

 

I know Im bumping an old thread, but I havent been able to find much on this or even finished pictures.

Are you guys running the wire the same way and just making it longer with it going in the passenger side area? Could it also be shortened and only the connectors for the lights, horns, oil pressure ect. be ran through the fenders?
