i was just wondering how hard it is to change the wire harness, because mine is pretty fried and i just want to know how hard it is to change it.

 

It's a pain in the ***, but not too bad. I would recomend taking pictures before, or putting the new one in as you pull the old one out, cause it can get tricky the routing out it.. it will not reach right in some places if not routed corectly. You do have to pull the UIM, IC, all the upper ghit.

 

i dont have an engine in right now. do i need to take out the dash to replace the whole thing?

 

I assume you mean just the engine harness. That being the case, no... nothing to do with the dash, just the firewall

 

I have question:

After owning 4 and currently occuping 3 2nd gen rx's why has your harness crapped out?

I say this because I want to know, in depth, the nature of what you call:

Fried.

How did you determine it was "fried"

 

well it didnt burn out i mean its krispey as hella. you bend a wire and it will amost break in half, and i dont want my wires getting exposed and making a fire.

 

I rebuilt my harness, striped it all down, took off all the heat shielding and wrapped the whole thing back up with glass backing, 500 Deg. Celsious 3M electrical tape ($15+ a roll, but still cheaper than a harness) took about 4 rolls or so.
