Hey everyone:
I have just about completed my new harness install that Paul A, on this board (Pete's Wiring) and Rebel Wire put together for us Sunbeam owners.
What a nice harness...it has probably taken me 24 man hours to install as i am a little slow; however the way this harness is layed out, marked and grouped together, it really goes in nicely and well worth the 200 bucks or so for the harness. This is the first time I have completely re-wired a car by myself and I am very satisfied with the results.
I Followed the instructions, and also bought the Gauge Harness which really made the dash look good and now it is plug and play. I tested all of the circuits last night and everything worked first time...I did have my wires crossed in the rear turn signals, but got that straightened out in no time.
When I pulled my old original blue taped harness out and disassembled it, I was a bit shocked at how many wires had melted through the insulation, but had not quite touched each other yet. Looked like I was about 3 drive hours away from an electrical fire.
Thanks, Paul for working with Rebel to get this harness dialed in for our cars, going from two circuits to 12, including a Cell phone; Radio switched and Radio constant circuits, as well as a separate accessory circuit, really will make me feel better going on out of town trips.
If you would like to get one of these wiring harness' send Paul A a message.
I can't say enough about this as I have been worried about this two circuit system since I bought the car and hearing about some of the fires and burn outs caused by electrical shorts didn't exactly make me feel too warm and fuzzy.
I have a few photos that I will post as soon as I get them downloaded.
