Ok, first off. I destroyed my wiring when I got this shell when I was 16. I cut the passenger side wiring harness at the firewall intending to tuck the wiring some day. Anyways 5 years later I have the swap built and put in. I replaced the dash harness with a 99 obd2a dash harness. Or so the guy said on eBay. I did this to myself I know. So that’s under dash fuse box and all. I’ve plugged in everything that matches so far. But I still have some plugs that I can’t find a match. I’ll post pics. But it’s starting to look like I’m better off getting a new shell with wiring already matching and take out all of the mods I have and swap over. I just placed my thermostat ground. valve cover ground. Lights come on but blinkers don’t blink. Main relay doesn’t click. Im lost....
does anyone know of any shops they could suggest that work on wiring like this in the Dallas/ DFW area?
my high and low beams work. I’ve grounded the engine harness. Thermostat. But I still can’t get the relay to click or fuel pump to prime. I think these dash harnesses might be incompatible?
they told me they just don’t really do wiring anymore and wasn’t sure if someone to suggest. So what I think I need to do is get a wiring harness out of a 96 model Integra. But it would take forever to find a manual Integra harness. An auto harness would be a quick find. I guess I could make a 96 auto harness work because people do the auto- manual conversion and keep the harness. I just wish I could find an electrical shop I could just take the car to. Wiring is something I only know so much about.

I guess I’ll get a 96 dash harness to match. I’m sure I’ll end up with an auto harness because manual is harder to find. But I question how will I plug into clutch pedal? I need to find out if I have obd2a or b. Then I’ll find a dash harness to match. But another question is what engine harness I would need. I have a b18a1 in my 1996 obd2 Integra.
I went to a dealership and this guy told me the most cost effective thing for me to do would be to get another shell and swap everything. I had a “can of worms” so to speak. if anyone could make me a checklist on wires/ fuses, connections/ etc for the main relay, before I get another shell. I would greatly appreciate it!!!
I don't think this is worth buying a new shell over yet.
That grey plug with a bunch of pins by the clutch pedal is for the cruise control computer, it shouldn't matter.
I see this as more of a main relay issue than a wiring harness issue. The main relay itself isn't particularly complex, it only has a couple wires going to it, so you just have to make sure they go to the right places.
Pin #1: BAT+, use a multimeter and make sure this pin has battery voltage.
Pin #2: GROUND, use a multimeter set on the continuity checker and make sure this pin is shorted to ground.
Pin #3: ECU, multimeter on continuity mode, make sure this pin is connected to ECU pin A25 for OBD1 ECUs.
Pin #4: Starter signal from key, when the key is in the cranking position this should have battery voltage.
Pin #5: When the ignition is on, this should have battery voltage.
Pin #7: Fuel pump power, using the continuity setting make sure your fuel pump is connected to this.
Pin #8: ECU, fuel pump relay, make sure it's connected to ECU pin A7 for OBD1 ECUs.
Also go ahead and test your clutch pedal and brake pedal sensors (continuity setting on multimeter)
What part of dfw are you in? I can look and see if I have a spare harness off my 96 gsr, it was cut when they messed up a alarm stall but can be fixed only 4 wires.
