Editing Rewiring a vehicle

When completely rewiring a vehicle there are a few things to determine. First one must decide if they are going to use a pre fabricated harness or make their own from scratch. In any case the harness should be assembled into groups and cut within a reasonable distance to the right length, while leaving extra wire to account for routing.

Next one must have the tools and supplies required for the job. Here is what is required:

Wiring harness
Black wire
Wire Strippers
Crimpers
Connectors
Electrical tape
Wire loom
Rubberized Wiring hooks (may not be needed in some cases)
Sheet metal screws (may not be needed in some cases)
Wiring diagrams are very helpful too

If soldering:
Good Soldering gun don't skimp and use an Iron it will slow things down
Solder
Shrink tube

Now that you have all your supplies the wiring harness in the vehicle must be removed. While you do this make sure that you lable every disconnected or cut wire as to the location it was origionally in. Keep the origional harness intact as possible and UNPLUG EVERYTHING YOU CAN. Keeping this harness intact can help with understanding how thins were wired before or the routing of wires. Once that is complete you are ready to begin instaltion of  your new harness.

Installation in vehicle

Once you have your wiring harness and your old wires removed your first step is to install the fuse block. On many vehicles this is as simple as placing it in the factory position.

The next step is to begin routing your wires. While doing this keep in mind any sharp areas that may sever a wire and secure the wires as good as possible. This will prevent the wiring from deteriorating as quickly as they would if little care is given. Begin by routing your longest wires first as quite often they will get in your way while dealing with the shorter wires.
