I gave my niece a 94 accord about 18 months ago and she has already been in 3 collisions where she has rear ended someone. Me being the nice guy that I am have repaired the car free only making her pay for the parts that need replaced. Since paint and body work has been my trade for 36 years nothing ever stumped me with body repair. However this time she says she blow a tire and it ripped out the fender liner and the wiring harness that goes along the right apron and into the area behind the dash. I dropped the glove box but cannot see where these wires came from. Any help will be appreciated.

 

Dang...not even sure where to start.....should she be driving....

At this point I think the best thing to do is go to a bone yard and get a new wire harness. It looks like those wires are actually pulled from the ECU/TCU inside the car.

Yes, with a bunch of time we could "pin out" each wire and that but IMHO a new wire harness would keep the repair time down.

 

That is what I was thinking. Seems like a new harness is the best starting point. I am shocked that the car still runs. No cooling fans or lights up front but it still cranks up and runs good.

 

Those pins have been pulled out of their home in a connector.

Check your PM for wiring schematic in a moment...

 

Start at page 23-16 of the FSM. Click on 'Electrical(including SRS).
I believe this is the 'right engine bay wire harness'.
The grey/gray connector is the the ground connector G201 that attaches to the radiator support behind the front bumper. There most likely is a receptacle to plug into.

 

Thanks, I am going to get this harness at the junk yard tomorrow. This car is a manual,should a automatic be the same harness?

 

AFAIK yes, MT and AT should be the same harness for the right side harness that is under the fender liner. AT wiring will be in the engine bay and pass through the firewall for the TCU.

 

Thanks again

 

you could get a wiring diagram from the work shop manual, this may take time. i have if u need it

 

or just buy a use harness

 

I bought a used harness. Took me about an hour to pull it of the parts car and about 30 minutes to install it. So glad I did it that way,it would have been a nightmare trying to sort through those wires. There may have even been some breaks in them.
