Removing Wiring from Options No Longer Installed in Car

I removed all my Power Options in my Formula (Weekend Cruiser, Auto-X & Road Race Car) and I want to take out all the excess left over Wiring.

I have Removed ther Factory Power Windows, Door Locks, Mirrors & Trunk Pull Down (Swapped to 82-85 "slam" Latch Best Mod Ever!)

I was going to just Carefully, Remove it all back to the Fuse Box, and was wondering if there is anything I should watch for, or keep in mind, so as not to cause electrical issues later.

Thanks!

Just terminate the ends so that no 12v+ cut wires can accidentally touch any ground sources.

grab yourself a helms manual and just double check that the circuits you're pulling don't share any power or grounds with the stuff you are keeping. otherwise take it slow, and make sure you've disconnected the battery ahead of time (should be understood already, but bears repeating )

If they are removed at the fuse panel, that's it.

I'm sure you'lll disconnect the neg battery cable before you start pulling wires.

Re: Removing Wiring from Options No Longer Installed in Car

Thanks for the tips, I do have an original Factory Service Manual as well.

I removed all this stuff back in 03, but was in a hurry to put the car back together for a Car Show. Just getting around to tidying up.
