Finishing up on my first RE swap, I'm stuck at pulling the old harness from underneath the dash. Idk if it's because I'm 6',2", but I'm having difficulties getting up under the dash to see where exactly I need to pull the harness. It looks like the main harness is wrapped in a tape loom with other smaller wire harness.
Do I have to remove the dash board to pull the engine wire harness? I took out mu passenger seat, but it's still a tight fit for me to get under the dash and to get my hands up in there. I figured I should stop here before I get frustrated and just yank everything out "Hulk getting angry!!" ha ha.

It is attached at the passenger kick panel.Pop the kick panel off.
Take off rocker panel(plastic),pull the weatherstrip out of the road and then pop the passenger kick panel.
I believe 2 connectors there.UP and under the dash,on the Steel of the passenger kick panel.They are a Pain to get at.I found the bolt?screw and released it from the body then undid the connector.
and the harness also goes to the ecu.
I'd hate to be 6'2..it was maddening doing it at 5'6..lol!

Thank you very much for the information and instructions ! I was going crazy! You just saved me face from sending my FC to the shop after coming this far on my first swap . I will regroup and get back at it tomorrow morning, I will post some pictures too.
Ha ha ha!! Yep, I have to lay on my back with my legs in the air jetting out the car to get up under the dash ha ha. It's tough, but with your information and instructions I will have positive results instead of cursing and scaring my neighbors and walking away in anger ha ha.
Cool man

I took the harness out about 3 weeks ago. I think theres like 3-4 connectors green and yellow? Maybe remove the passanger seat to ease the job.

If you can't "really find them" push the big *** rubber grommet inside the car.that will give you some extra wire to feel.Then you can feel your way to those connectors.
You'll find that once you get those connectors off you may not want to hassle with atttaching them again to the Body..lol
I didn't.As long as they connected to the other harness that was good enough for me.Besides that mounting point doesn't act as a ground for anything anyways.

Ok. I have the whole weekend, so I'll get it done.

So I finally decided to pull my old harness and install my 13B T harness today. Pretty much everything you said was true and there . I disconnected that one wire connection from the bracket, and yeah, I wont even try to reattach it. I will post some pictures, with questions, as I noticed there are some differences between the 13B and 13B T harness connectors.

The two green connectors are from the stock na harness, the wires go into the passenger kick panel.

With the 13B T harness there is only the one white connector that matches where one of the green connectors went. But there is not another connector to replace where the second green connector went. What is the other green receiving connector for? Do I have to custom wire something to replace the stock green connector? Or should I re connect the stock green connector with the along with the white 13B T connector?

This is the 13B T wire harness for under the dash.

This is the stock wire harness for under the dash.

Where do these wires go? They are with the main wire harness that leads to under the dash, but they are in the engine compartment. The smaller connector looks like it matches the back of the alternator. How do I wire the back of the alternator? There are no wires leading to the alternator like my stock 13B had.

All wired up except the one missing connector for the green receiving connector and the two white connectors in the second picture. Help please.

Yep, I located those connectors.
