I C/ped this straight from my build thread.

Update: December 04, 2010.

What I wanted to do here is eliminate all the crap that I don't need for this project, PS, AC, Heater core, exempt all the extra wires and drag them out of the harnesses, plugs,

sockets, etc. The reason why I want to exempt all these extra wires is that the tuck will be much easier to do and I will know what to sketch out on my upcoming wire tuck diagram.

Heater Core:Here I was debating on if I should run the heater core or not. I decided to take the heater core out and I was doing some research that you can reroute a heater hose

from the head to the thermostat housing so that it bypasses itself by safely. A guy from work told me about this, and sure why not give it a try.




Identifying A few wires/plugs:
For the most part I didn't have trouble labeling the plugs and which sensors they connect to from the engine harness, interior harness, etc. I did forget to label some of them when

I wasn't paying any attention at first when I had the harness disconnected from the motor. I'd be more than happy if you guys can chime in on this one as well.

Brown Plug: Red/Blue Wires (came off of the headlight harness I believe.)


Another brown Plug: (Came off of the headlight harness. )
1 Black/Green Wire
1 Black Wire


Green Plug: (Came off of the headlight harness. )
1 Black/White Wire
2 Black Wires


These two I believe are the Map Sensor and IAT, I just want to figure out which one is exactly which. They both obviously came off of the engine harness.

Silver plug 1:
red/blue
brown/black
white/red


Silver plug 2:
Same except plug as the above picture except wires are
Blue/White
Yellow/Black
Black

My main concern here was this guy:


Since it was blue my guess was that this mostly controlled anything AC related on the interior and exterior of the vehicle. Compressor, Receiver, Blower Motor, Fans, etc. Is it

okay if I disconnected this guy or are there several other things running into this harness that I have to leave for the motor to operate properly. I wanted to just take

out all the miscellaneous accessory related stuff that was in there and throw that to the side. Any suggestions ?

 

this brings back memories lol
can't be a ton of help because canadian cars seem to be wired a little differently, but im pretty sure everything past that blue connector is climate control related.
also, the thing about looping your coolant lines is not entirely true. you can block them off completely. When your climate control is set to full cold, the valve is blocked anyways

and the dirty brown and dirty green plugs might be for your windshield washer fluid pump/level indicator or something down there

 

Thanks a lot man. What about the first brown plug with the one wire attached to it. I'm thinking condenser fan plug, and what about the two plugs that look the same with three wires ?

 

in the back of your service/shop manual has color codes on the wires in the electrical schematics

 

1st brown plug is a fog light connector. 2nd or 3rd one looks like the a washer pump connector.

 

I don't have any fog lights.

 

but the connector is there from the factory, hence why its taped up.

 

^ I see.
