datsun40146 Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 My engine harness is shot. Its not the fuel injection side but the body side, the side that controls the lights, fusible links ect. Anyway I own a 77 280z and I pulled a prefect harness from a 75 280z. I just wanted to make sure that the harness I pulled would work in my car before I tore into it. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poundz9oh9 Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 You'd probably be better off creating your own with new wiring rather than using another used 30 year old part. It should be a pretty painless process, IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datsun40146 Posted April 9, 2007 Author Share Posted April 9, 2007 My current harness works, its just an ugly jumble of wires that is a mess to deal with thanks to the PO. He was also kind enough to delete the fusible links which is the main reason I want to switch out the harness. They should swap out right?

Poundz9oh9 Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 You're best bet would be to trace the harness that's in the car (engine bay side) back to where it connects to the interior wiring and go through all the conectors and wires to ensure this with your own two eyes. Should only be a 10 minute process to get under the dash and look. This is the area you are referring to correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks And what should I be looking for exactly? You should be looking at the plastic connectors to ensure that A) they are compatible with the "new" harness that you're going to use (IE: will they simply plug into each other?) and ensure that the CORRECT wires (same color/function - this is where wiring diagrams would be handy) will be the ones that your plugging in, if that makes sense. This is a roundabout way of doing it considering nobody has chimed in that has swapped any full harnesses from cars 2 years apart like you are trying to do.
