The gob of silicone in place of plug is one of the things I want to fix.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.studionewmedia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/wire_0548.jpg\" title=\"wire_0548.jpg\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.studionewmedia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/wire_0548.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"wire_0548.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately after much searching &amp; wondering, it looks like the new harness is missing this connector also! Curses! Crap, its going to be difficult to find just this connector.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I start to uncover the new harness to figure out what I want to use.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.studionewmedia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/wire_0549.jpg\" title=\"wire_0549.jpg\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.studionewmedia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/wire_0549.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"wire_0549.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m taking my time, pulling connector pins out &amp; slowly getting rid of the bits that I won&#8217;t use. I decide I&#8217;m not going to use the new fuse box, although its nice. The starter relay and a mystery component &amp; connector that look like its related is also removed. The alternator looks different so those wires come out too. Anyway, here&#8217;s how it stands just a little before I called it quits for the night.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.studionewmedia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/wire_0557.jpg\" title=\"wire_0557.jpg\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.studionewmedia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/04\/wire_0557.thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"wire_0557.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Hopefully I&#8217;ll be ready to start installing it soon. I guess I&#8217;m going to have to live with the blobby hack for now &amp; replace what I can. I plan to pull indivdual pins and thread the wires through the firewall to keep the wiring intact like OEM, instead of cutting &amp; splicing as much as possible. I&#8217;m hoping replacing the hack splicing job in the engine bay will smooth out some of the engine running problems.
