You’re really cruising along on this.

Looking good!

Perseverance and patience will take you a long way, If you need to, walk away. As they say do it right or do it over. Nice catch on the plug pins btw, not everyone would have caught that. Way easier to fix it now than later when you’re to sort out the bugs

Absolutely right. I have walked away so many times, I could have probably walked around the earth by now.

I can’t tell what is going on there other than I don’t see a good connection happening.

Are those supposed to be the male end.

They’re all twisted a bit as well.

That is the female side of the plug and the pins (sockets) are all messed up. I took the plug completely apart and found that someone had been a little overzealous with their crimping. The pin was collapsed, which wouldn't allow the male plug pin to engage (this all sounds a bit too sexual at this point).

Anyway, this is a sealed plug, however, one of the wire seals was missing from one wire. It is obviously defective. I'm getting a bit frustrated because I have written and called the company that makes this harness and they won't call back.

I have had the same issue, find email often works better than landline even though it may take a couple of days

Have been making slow progress lately. Life keeps getting in the way.

Getting some electrical and brake lines done. Was using one of those typical flaring tools and it was a pita. Looked at a flaring tool on Eastwood, but it's $200. The stingy guy in me reared his ugly head and said "you can find it cheaper". Looked on Amazon and found a Chinese knock off for 50 bucks cheaper. This thing works WAY better than those hand held ones. Perfect flare every time.
