WA Pic request, rear wire harness..

I need some help.. Can somebody post some pics of how the rear wire harness is routed. I need to see it from the rear wheel wells back to around the tail lights...
I searched to no avail, the FSM are very vague.
Thanks all
Robert.

I can get one tonight when I get home to give you a general idea however mine is no longer 100% stock... Which part of it are you having trouble with? The section around the latch/lock area?

I just don't remember how the harness was ran.. IE in front/behind of the drain tubes, above/below the rear speakers, were the clips go... ect..
I have a general idea,, but the details escape me.

Ah ok, mine has been removed and all unnecessary things removed and rewrapped, so some of the clips are no longer used etc, but I'll take a pic anyway since it runs in generally the same spots.

Quick answer from memory though - below the speakers, then up to the underside of the drip rail (there are bendable tabs that hold it), behind the rain drain tubes, and behind the brace that holds the hatch latch mechanism - from there it goes to the power antenna and a small section of it extends down the passenger side wheel well to the passenger door switch and exhaust overheat light - on an 83 at least. I think the exhaust overheat light and door switch wires are routed differently on the 84/85 cars, the rest is basically the same

Here you go. 83 GSL. The heater warning sensor I think is off of the center harness that runs under the seats. I have never moved these wires, they have been this way since 2002. Can't say for sure if the previous owner every moved these or not.
