Wiring Hell, bought this off a member a while ago

I am NOT a fan of electrical and our winter / beater / fun car had a bunch of electrical issues.

I was so dang proud of myself after we finished, that everything worked, car started nothing got screwed up or disabled i just wanted to share.

Took us 2.5 hours, my dad and I. ( took shifts under the dash, so yes i did alost of it myself not just him :p ) lol

Started by taken a few panels off so we can see what we're dealing with.

There was a bunch of wires (not all visible) that were wrapped around or spliced into stuff.

So we took off the lower dash panel . . . . :eek:

There was a main unit, box just stuck up there that had wires . . going . . EVERYWHERE :mad:

So we started to rip shit out, door pannels etc to trace all these wires.

Wires dropped over the doors, through, into the fog light switch, head light switch, fuse panel. WHAT A MESS

FINALLY got a bunch of those bastards out, as well as speakers that were held on by ONE zip tie, auto door locks that just locked whenever lol

Much nicer

There WERE so many wires that you'd catch your toes on some when shifting:indifferent:

(IMG:http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m279/D-RailsPIX/P7250038.jpg)

This was just what we tossed, there was like feet of wire we just kept, as well as the door lockers and speakers

(IMG:http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m279/D-RailsPIX/P7250039.jpg)

AND . . . The before and after shot lol

Much happier with all that shit out. Not sure how the guy before me did that all.
Thanks for looking guys and gals:D

Looks like it could of been a bestbuy or future shop job , seen some nasty stuff come out of those places.

But looks much better now.

Ya brutal. Things spliced into other stuff spliced, dead ends, useless wires, relays, fuses :pow

that looked like my winter beater. it had some alarm/starter on it or something and wires went everywhere? they even used small speaker wire to run stuff. i just was like wtf was this person thinking lol

kinda like my truck.... but mines from tail lights to head lights!!!! and inside. FML

lol shit that woulda been horrible too.

Ya i kept thinking like WTF lol

BEEN THERE!......on a stealth....ewe

looks like my neon a fe weeks ago i had some issues decide to take it apart found a tracking unit hooked into a starter disable and alarm with the antennas up under the dash. ever since i removed it the car been running great no more issues.



want to do the clutch in my stealth twin turbo????? ive put it off till this winter as ive already been told to take it home after going down the track for its first time. so cage and larger turbos are in order this winter.

i didn't think you still had a Neon Darryl??? Looks good, did you eventually sell the white car??

ya you have to wonder what goes through peoples minds when they wire this up :lol:

i have seen cars so brutaly hacked you dont even know what the guy is thinking but the problem is he thinks hes done a really good job i guess everyone has different eyes some people see it some people dont

worst i seen was a jimmy with 3 wiring harness under the dash, the guy complained about sparks from under his dash as he drove at night. ended up ordering a replacement harness and removing the mess and putting a one one in place


some people wiring is damn scary

Ya if you look in the pics the white one is still back there. Neither of which i drive much LOL

Ya this thing would lock the doors weirdly whenever, drain the battery, flash the lights when you hook stuff up. On and ON. lol

just dont wanna give it away eh? good for you for holding out man!! One quality I don't have..patience

dang holy wires
