I have made many wiring harnesses and it is not nearly as hard as it seems. Get youself a schematic off of the internet. I cut the old harness out with wire snips leaving all of the original plastic clips and fittings intact. When I wire, I solder the wires together with a soldering iron and then shrink wrap the splice. Leaving the plastic ends in place will give you a clue where they go when you rewire and may clue you to any wires that you may have forgotten. Just remember to leave enough of the wire in the plastic fitting to splice to. In a lot of cases, you can use a small screw driver to slip the old clip out of the plastic fitting and replace it with a new clip that will go right back into the plastic fitting. Once you are done, check your harness for function with an electrical meter or test light and then wrap the harness in old style friction tape and/or use the spiral wrap available from J.C. Whitney or Radio Shack. Use wire ties to hold the harness out of the way and you have saved yourself a bunch of money. It is not as hard as it sounds. If you mess it up, you can always buy the production harness as a bail-out. A good source for an assortment of colored wire spools is National Tool Catalog or J.C. Whitney. Good luck.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
