David12 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Hi there. Just bought another Starlet for £80. Engine is sound but the alternator belt has snapped so need to get one of them. I've bought it for spares for my other starlet to get everything working. Then i will be autotesting it, just a small local time trial thing. The advice i need is how hard would it be to swap over the wiring harnesses? For example my cd player doesn't work and clock because the wiring is too badly damaged. Also, any pointers with this task.Help would be appreciated. Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
greasemonkeyspb Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 if you can get at wiring mate shudnt be too hard.....try stripping it off spare one first but heres a tip use masking tape on all the multiplugs and write on the tape where they come from that way u wont forget or get stumped putting it back together ste Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rorenapier Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 The engine loom is a piece of cake to change, on the other hand the interior loom is a compete ball ache (dashboard out etc etc)And for the CD player plugs etc you will need to change the interior loom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David12 Posted July 9, 2011 Author Share Posted July 9, 2011 Oh god so this could be a nightmare? Has anyone done it on the club? Would be handy to have a guide. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rorenapier Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Yeah ive done it, but i never had time to make a guide.You will need as much room as possible, so seats and all plastics out from around the gear knob etc.Then be methodical and start taking it out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I also had to do it, not a pleasant job, wont be that hard though really, bit of a pain because I had to wire the alarm back into the new loom so had to remember what went where, you may not have that trouble to it should be a simple job of swapping them over.If you have to remove it from the other car then you will know what to look for when you take the loom out of the new car so you dont mess up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
