or you can find the stock clips and wire each wire one by one. Itll probably take some time

 

bump

 

come on guyz i need help

 

good luck.

 

damn that *** up

 

do you guyz know if i have to take out the dash to swap the wires?

 

yea. you have to take out the seats, carpet, dash, and interior panels. it might be a pain but i bet there is more screwed up wiring if you look a little harder. what year is this car? looks like maybe a 94-95 ls or gs? rip the abs out of this junker, if you plan on putting a vtec engine in it go buy a 94-95 gsr harness now.
btw the dash is only like 6 bolts, dont be scared to remove it. lol

 

You're going to have to pull all of your instrument cluster, radio, and a/c panel then you can reach all the clips and wire ties used to secure that part of wire harness. goodluck

its a 95 ls, im looking to buy the gsr wiring harness

 

its a pretty straight forward swap as long as you get the entire harness. i went and found a crashed gsr and pulled every single wire out of the car as one big piece then just laid it out in my car and was done. since then i actually decided to make a custom harness tho. lol.

 

even though my car has no battery do i still have to disconected the air bags before i remove the dashboard????

 

you have to disconnect the airbags only because you have to remove them. one comes out to take the steering wheel out, the other comes out with the dashbord itself.

 

ok thanks

 

 

i already bought the gsr ecu and the engine harness and i have a gsr engine and tranny ready to drop in, i think now i need the under the dash wiring and the radiator. The car is 95 ls and its salvage, im having trouble deciding if to sell it or fix it. what do you guyz think?

 

The ecu wiring goes all the way back underneath the dash, yes you have to remove the dash, the peddles and anything else. Its not easy at all.

 

a 98 ls rolling shell in good shape is $1000. do u really think it's worth it to fix your ls considering done with a gsr motor it will be worth the value of the gsr motor? not being a dick. just saying shells are cheap, find a clean title car that is actually what you want. part your shell out and make some cash to throw towards a clean title one.

 

well i might just fix it up with an ls ecu and engine and see if get win a couple hundred from what i got it.


w.a. i got the scews off the the bottom of the dash board, but is there screw for the dash board behind the cluster, the clock, a/c controller??? cause the dash board is loose from the bottom but i cant find the screws holding the top of it.

 

need ^

 

bolt behind the clock and the cables for the heat hold it in. sides of the dash too. and 2 bolts under the airbag.

 

thanks i'll try it right now
