brew, after stripping the harness, I can see why you like the OEM. Man it’s a dream compared to regular electrical tape.
Impatient ? You posted this last Thursday, -

Lol, gotta love the lack of rust I see on many user posts here.

the magic number is....
29,
not counting the 2 that connect the engine harness back to the main engine/power distribution harness.

Forgot to add, what took me so long to pull and strip the harness, was I pulled the engine/power distribution harness too. Fuse box and all. And still got every bit of it stripped in about 2 hours. Backbreaking work though.

Really! Maybe I better play the lotto this week!

Btw, you don't have to solder if you don't want to. Just replace pin to pin. Pretty much never solder unless it's absolutely necessary, - use silver solder if you need to and if you can. Otherwise you could change resistance. Most of the time that doesn't matter....it's just that it can with a rosin core. Crimping is better.

Sorry, but I want a recount. It's rigged I tell you. LOL

Actually I only see 23 on the main harness Hmm. Maybe a recount is in order.

LOL. Yep, - just the engine harness- to the first half of the connector should be counted.

It's hard to tell, did you cut anything ? Maybe spread it out a little lol.

Man, I wish I could get my old hard drive to unlock right now. I took quite a few pics of that harness...so I wouldn't screw it up sewing back together lol. But it's toast I'm afraid.
