the harness under the dash is perfect, that's not the one i need to replace, the one that needs to be replaced is the one that goes into the engine bay. the dash harness connects to this semi big white box with a screw to hold them together, and that white piece has about 10 extra connectors that connect to the ignition and other random ****s, and it leads out thru the fenderwell to the fuse boxes. well, the harness that goes thru the driver side fender well was all cut up, so instead of taking my chances with soddering those wires back together i just rip them out nice and neat and going to replace them. I think with all the condensation and **** from it being exposed so long to water dirt etc. w/e may have caused an issue if I just wired them back up. I just rather be safe than sorry.
