Match the wires up "color to color" and use soldered splices preferably there Greybeard, and you should be up and starting again soon.

Don't forget heat shrink tape or tubing to weather proof the splices, and when the Grey-Mobile has to sit for extended periods. Put mothballs under the hood in mesh bags or old nylons, because "woodland critters" hate the Camphor smell given of by the mothballs.

You might also pull your airbox and open it up, you might recall we've had folks end up with rat, mice, and squirrel nests in them.

In fact, the last "mystery" was caused by mice in the air box, just a few weeks ago.

Soldered and shrink wrapped.... and taped. Critter didn't leave me with much wire on 4 out of the 8 wires it chewed through. I should really have a new pigtail/plug end for that harness for it to be right. Everything now works as it should.

I should have dug a little deeper before I bothered you guys... Thanks for the help.


Most mothballs aren't camphor anymore, there is an animal repellent called "No Zone" that is old fashioned camphor mothballs in little vented plastic bags. Get the refill packages. I've had little success with what is now sold as regular mothballs.

Peppermint oil works too and has a more desirable smell...

Figure out exactly which connector and we can find the part number.

I don't know...

It sits about 10-12 inches below the fuse panel under the hood. White plug with a gray plastic hood over it. Mine had 10 wires but it looks like it may be a 14 pin connector. (I'm guessing at 14 but there were several dummy pins)

It was a bytch to get at for repairs...
