I initially set out to reuse the stock harness as it was running perfectly in my SC300. In my thread you can see I had begun stripping it down.



In the end I went with a Wiring Specialties harness.





Is using the stock harness doable? In my opinion yes, and I had a lot of it figured out and connected to the e30 bulkhead connector. I just started finding cracked wires etc.

That makes a lot of sense really, I am about 90% confident that I've found all the wires on the loom that I need to connect. I probably have an easier go at it since I'm directly connecting it to a standalone relay panel.

Too cool! I'll have to read through it. Did you go with the stock harness or use a plug and play from someone?

Yup, right below your thread.

I should be running in the next couple of weeks, fingers crossed.

something super satisfying about making a DT connector.

My first time! It really is nice though and pretty easy with the right tools.

Worked on the relay panel a bit, starting to get a patch harness built.
