I need some help. Bought a new wiring harness.

So I bought a new wiring harness from keep it clean wiring. They sent me a fuse box that looks a bit different from my old one and im wandering if I should keep it the same or use the old fuse box and relays and all that.

I need some help.. If someone could give me a detailed wiring diagram that would be great. I have the book for my car and understand the diagrams a decent amount its just I dont know which wires go into which plugs.

If someone could help that would be great,
Thanks.

All I need to know is what ports these wires go into inside the switches. Because they are not the same color.

Someone help?

Re: I need some help. Bought a new wiring harness.

since none of the new fuse box fuse locations are labeled you need to just decide what you want were. is there a issue with the stock one ?

He is a bit lacking on the info.
Appears he has bought a generic aftermarket harness for the chassis ; not the engine /ECM you are referring to

I have no idea..
Neither do we seeing you didn't state up front what the harness was actually for.
Given what you wrote most would assume you have a new FACTORY harness for the engine bay / ECM

If you have a non factory harness you are on your own as far as having to read the factory circuit diagrams
and match them up to what ever wiring is supplied in your new harness

Wires are generally labelled along their length as to their function and orginate at a marked fuse ( where required)

He is going to have to integrate the stock engine wiring with his new aftermarket harness Engine /ECM will remain standalone ( with 12V supply from the new fuse box) and only new wiring to engine will be the OP and temp sensors

Its the complete wiring kit... for all the car. Yes its aftermarket I guess form Keep It Clean Wiring. All the new wires are already labeled it just seems like there is less.

Im asking what that piece is also in the pic. It has a relay or something in it but my new fuse box has almost the same exact setup as that thing. It also has 30a fuses in it rather than the big metal ones for my windows.

There is a short in my car and I'm restoring it anyway so I just bought a new wiring harness. So almost everything will be new on it. So thats why I have a new fuse box.

Re: I need some help. Bought a new wiring harness.

are you asking about the turn signal flasher ? or the relay.
the metal pieces that fit into the fuse holder are called circuit breakers.
