</font><font color="blue" class="small">( If you have the wire harness out of the vehicle, then why not use a ohm meter to locate the broken wire and just add a new wire to the harness replacing that broken wire? It would be easier and faster than taking the harness apart to visually look for a broken wire. Most harness's use color coded wires, so you should be able to find both ends of the wire for testing. No need to make the job more difficult than it already is just getting the harness out. Use electrical tape to tape the new wire to the old harness and it will still look better than if you try to duplicate the old wire taping. )</font>
That's a good idea. The problem is that I'm fairly certain based upon the harness that I've stripped so far that I'm dealing not with "a" bad wire, but rather two or more wires on which the cloth insulation has disintegrated and are now contacting each other. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif So, I've decided the only solution is to completely replace the wiring. But thanks for the suggestion anyway. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Fortunately, I just happen to have a roll of 10ga ignition wire that's been laying around for years just waiting for this job. I think I picked it up in a box of "treasure" at an auction somewhere. I just love it when I can say to Mrs "see, I told you I was gonna need that someday." /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
