Wiring Loom

[trickydicky0_16]

Hi as anybody used the loom from a Sapphire 1991 2.0l DOCH Auto Ghia on a MT75 manual box will there be any problems with this config.

Also can the abs be taken out of the loom seeing its not being used, To be honest its all got a bit scary now i have started to take the loom out of the donor. I have felt confident of completing the project till now.


Cheers

i havent got that fer yet but would say that you could use it and just take out what you dont need ABS electric windows etc mark all the connectios when removing so you know what goes where.

dont forget that an autobox/loom has a start inhibit switch
you,ll have to bypass, as their wont be one on the mt75

Chooks like me buy looms rather than make a mess of original as would end up having indicators on when foot on brake etc...

Wiring is sent by the devil..

may i ask if it will be easier to use a loom sourced from Premier wiring for the wiring into my car rather than use the loom out of the donor? (my donor is an estate, not sure it makes any difference to the wiring apart from maybe longer wires)
i,m looking for the easier option as electrics are not my thing

Definately going with a new loom, either the premier one, or SVC do one. Atually, they do two, a single piece one with sierra connectors for £120, or a four piece loom for an easier install for £180. In my opinion, just not worth the hassle of trying to work out donor loom, not to mention they're knocking on 20 years old, and taking the loom out of the donor car may well have been enough to destroy several brittle connectors.

Just my 2p's worth!

cheers for that Adrian, i totally agree with you with regard the age of wiring etc but its the thought of getting the donor loom out without losing track of what each wire does what that made me think of a new loom,
premier do one for £120 which sounds ok, just spoke to the guy & seemed really helpful, he reminded me to make sure i get the connectors from the steering column as his loom doesn,t come with them & also will need the relays & flasher unit from the donor.
sorry for all the simple questions i,m asking lately, its just that i,m almost finished welding my chassis so am now planning the next phase of the build.
cheers
