When completely rewiring a vehicle there are a few things that must be determined beforehand. First, one must decide if a prefabricated harness will be used, or if a custom harness will be made 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. | When completely rewiring a vehicle there are a few things that must be determined beforehand.

The fuse requirement and wire gauge has to take the accessory load into consideration. Using too small of a wire can let a wire burn even though the accessory load matches the fuse rating. Using too 'big' of a fuse can let a wire burn even if the wire gauge matches the load. | The fuse requirement and wire gauge has to take the accessory load into consideration.
