Weekend - The tear down - part III - Swiss Spaghetti

On Sunday Jos did do a little more work. The front chairs were quite stuck so they have been soaked with WD40. Thus moving on to the wiring removal. It's amazing to see how flimsy these have been put together. Not something you would expect from a high-end luxury car. Some cabling had no insulation/shielding anymore so there was potential danger of shortcutting. So another job on the todo list: build a complete new wiring harness. Unless we can obtain a complete Original (Mopar) wiring harness. Maybe this can be still newly obtained in the USA? Anyone? I offer an applepie for a positive lead!

You can click on the photo's to enlarge them:


Connector block to the rear lights. Yes, you see it correctly, they used some sliding shoes into the connector and other cheap connectors.



And some cabling without insulation / shielding (not a one off situation). Doesn't look like this is caused by rodents but caused by poor cabling causing friction and removal of the shielding.




 And now all nicely labelled



And some Original Chrysler labelling:
