Question Engine Wiring Harness Question --

Hi everyone!

I have a '94 FD, VIN JMZFD13B200100704 -- and I was wondering, will any of these Engine Wiring Harnesses fit properly/work?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Mazda...ayphotohosting

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JDM-R...3286.m20.l1116

-- Are all Engine Wiring Harnesses the same?

Thank you for your time!


Regards,
-D

The JDM harness won't fit properly, as in a JDM car, the ECU is on the left side, vs the USDM car where the ECU is on the right side.

As for the used one, I hear Mazsport is fairly reputible, but what's the point in replacing your harness now for $400 + labor when you'll need to do it again in 3 years. I'd get a new one instead. They're $750 from Malloy, last I checked. It'll last 10+ years, and with the way the price has been climbing, who knows how much they might cost in 3 years.

Hmmm... my problem now is that... I cannot decipher the VIN I have, at least not with this deciphering key.

The car is '94, LHD and has a speedometer in kilometers...

Any help?

The worst possible thing you can do is purchase something electrical possibly 15 years old. It will be dry rotted, brittle, and as bad as anything you currently have. Save your money and purchase a new harness from Malloy Mazda for under $500.

Get a new harness from the States. I realize your customs agents are very corrupt and it'll be a major hassle for you to actually retrieve it, but to my knowledge, you're not allowed to import used car parts anyway.
