What do I do with all these wires?

My car is fully non sequential but i still got all the wires and solenoids under the UIM. I see lots of pics of peoples cars and that area is clean. Do people just tuck them away or cut them or what?

I'm running a PFC/single wtih all emissions and nest o rats removed, I cut all the wires down short, heat shrinked over the ends, and then taped the leads back into the harness, one of these days I'm going to pull the whole thing and depin them back at the ECU and rewrap the whole harness.

I don't think you can see much but here's an engine bay shot:

I'm not down south too often, but I hit columbus now and then for stuff, maybe there will be a meet in that area or something.

I would remove the solenoids you don't need and tape the connectors up with some good self-fusing silicone tape. Cutting the harness is a bad idea unless the harness is pretty old and crusty. If you just tape the connectors someone could go back to stock if they had to.

IT's very easy to pull the engine wiring harness out of a FD. I took mine out and removed all the wires. Rewrap it with new tape (get the good stuff (3M)). Looks real nice now.

I cut and rewrap along with replacing any hard brittle wires. Also replace bad connectors with GM weather pac connectors .
