    trying to tuck my engine harness...

    So my project is in the wiring stage. Im trying to tuck the harness that runs along the drivers side to the headlights, fogs, horn etc through the drivers side fender. I have the fender removed and there is a nice tunnel that I can use to keep the tires dry and safe.

    How many people have done this to clean up the engine bay?

    I wonder if anyone can direct me to a more detailed wiring diagram of that area which may include, example: red wire with black strip = power to AC..ETC?

    I will post pictures of the progress if anyone is interested. Thanks.

    i did it.. i hid my spal wiring threw that tunnel.

    if your looking at tucking all your wires.. good luck.. i use to tuck a bunch of my friends honda wires and it looks a really long time. you'd have to cut a wire, extend and reconnect the wire.

    if u have any questions, hit me up.

      Nice! That's exactly the plan. I have deleted the ABS, Air bags, AC, horns, overflow res, w/s sprayers, and side markers. I am currently trying to remove all of those wires from the fuse block which is surprisingly a fucking ton of wires. I

      I will then run the remaining headlights, fogs, radiator sensor etc through that tunnel.

          I've done it. I ran the entire front half of the chassis harness through the driver's side fender. Several wires will need extending. It's not an easy job but it's worth it IMO.

            if I were to do that, I would pull the fender off the car and run ALL of the wires hidden.

              yessir i have the fender off as it needed replacing.

              @lifeiskaos

              Can i ask if you pulled the fuse box cover and pushed the pin associated with that specific wire and then reinstalled later? Or did you simply cut the wire and extend it.

              Any help is good.

                  I took the plug housings off of all the wires so I could run them through the fender. I didn't remove wires from the fusebox. Still need to extend a couple wires but the important part is done, and everything is through the fender, completely hidden.

                    do you have any pictures of how you did it or a final product?
