Too long, didn't read version.
1- Would you replace this harness judging from the picture?
2- If yes, how hard would it be to be swapped out by a normal guy?
3- Why are aftermarket gauges short on wires compared to the factory stuff?
The I got time to kill, lets read this guys long a$$ rant version
A friend of mine gave me this 97 gsx600f. He bought it to work on, and abandoned shortly after. Seeing how the company I worked at decided to go bankrupt, I have some free time, yay?
So whats do you think about this? Should I replace this with a like-new one from ebay? Or does it seem like it still is usable? I have the wiring diagram from the sticky But having everything all cut and crimped together kinda worries me. The new lights and gauges I'm installing I plan on soldering and shrink wrapping everything.
I can handle smaller maintenance jobs on my cars, the usual oil change, brakes, radio install, and the odd troubleshooting. I'd say the typical level of knowledge of an automotive enthusiast, but tend to shy away from electrical stuff. How hard is it to replace?
Also, I noticed with the current aftermarket gauges installed, not all the wires on the OEM harness is used. But supposedly these things seem to handle everything the OEM gauges can handle. What gives? Even the Koso TNT gauge I bought to replace the Ebay gauge is short by a dozen or so wires.
