Hey guys,

The previous owner of my car left the stock wiring harness...umm...not stock? (Cut plugs, missing connectors...)

I was wondering if it would be possible (and how difficult) to use the uncut harness that came with my '99 B20Z?

I know there are some things to leave out, like anything to do with the automatic transmission or AWD...just wondering if you guys think it will work.

99-00 switched to OBD2.5 wiring so it wouldn't work. I've never used a CRV harness but if it's a 1 piece design like the 96-00 Civic's and you have a 96, you would need to use a 96-98 harness for plug and play compatibility.

Would it work if I used an OBD2.5->OBD1 conversion harness with an OBDI LS ecu?

I don't see why it wouldn't work, since the harness came right off the engine...and yes it is the 1 piece design like the civic.

Well, we're trying it anyway...my stock harness is fux0red. I'll let y'all know how it turns out.

Well, it seems like the B20 harness has a B,C,and D plug..and the green interior plug. Aren't automatic wiring harnesses supposed to have an A,B,C, and D plug??

The b20 harness plugs into the B,C, and D slot...when it should plug into all 4 i think....my 99-00 OBDII -> OBDI conversion harness needs only A, B and C.

I'm quite sure it's a 1 piece design like the civics. I would use my stock harness but it's been cut and messed up with already....
