Reply to "front harness routing (pics needed)"

Good job. If you finish up with the harness section taped under the crossbrace in front of the radiator, you'll find FEET of unused wires that are not connected to anything and extra spade connectors that reduce power from the battery to lights etc. We think that part of the harness was sourced by DeTomaso from some unknown front engined car.

And if you actually drive the car in all kinds of weather, rotate the fan relays 180 degrees so the wires are pointed down. In stock position, the formed lip between the steel relay case & plastic base acts as a water catcher and sometimes shorts out, killing a fan or two. If you disassemble your relays, you'll undoubtably find lots of rust inside which can also cause trouble. Rotating the relays on their single mounting bolt is simpler than trying to make things waterproof.
