[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16589195, member: 70025"] The second milestone is...….. I finally was able to get power to the car again :D! I have been working on the wiring lately and I have moved things from the engine bay to under the dash. I used the factory wiring diagram, but added things like power and ground distribution blocks, relay's to power my headlights, fuel pump and electric fans. I modified the factory wiring harnesses to work with my new additions. So, I did a lot of cutting, splicing and rerouting. Again, I'm no expert, but took my time, made a plan and then executed the plan one wire/system at a time. I'm proud to say that everything I have connected up to this point is working exactly as it should. I removed my Speedhut gauges so I could wire up the power, lighting and ground. All I need to do now is connect the specific sensor (i.e. Tach signal, O2 Sensor and fuel pressure sensor). [ATTACH=full]1692895[/ATTACH] Here everything is zip tied and cleaned up to make connecting the sensors a little easier. [ATTACH=full]1692896[/ATTACH] I got my switches wired up. [USER=35549]@01yellercobra[/USER] asked me about a schematic. I do not have one, but I'm trying to make this VERY easy to figure out. For example you will notice the top switch ends with a Female connector and the bottom switch ends in a male connector. The middle switch is the E-Brake and it has it's own connector. So, there's only one way to connect these if it's every taken apart. [ATTACH=full]1692897[/ATTACH] Here you can see how I routed the wires and the additional 3M wire holders I have mounted here to keep everything neat and tidy. [ATTACH=full]1692899[/ATTACH] Okay, here I had to label the wires so I know where they go. I want the switches to the left and right of the E-brake switch to control specific things. So, here they need to be labeled. Once they are hooked up they will only go one way :D. [ATTACH=full]1692900[/ATTACH] Okay, going back to the schematic question. I am trying to color code everything as well. So if you see a colored wire you will know exactly what it is. Here is what I'm trying to do. Red=Constant Hot, Black=Ground, Yellow=Switched 12v and Blue=trigger wire (i.e. wire that will turn on my cut outs or line lock or anything else I need "switched" on).
