1st thing disconnect the battery negitive post..

Then you can do this with out so much risk..

You have choices of reparing wire with butt connectors in short sections, using liquid tape and or plastic handle goo, or rebuilding the harness right.. Or combinations of all 3.

If you just recoat plastic covering with a liquid and allow it to dry and the wires are still sound that can be the fastest way.

If the wire itself is falling apart then adding wire in will be something to consider. Butt connectors are handy and you can add liquid sealers to these. Soldering and having heat shrink tubing is a option as well, and a good one.

If the wire is really gone then a new rebuilt harness might be called for..

If you go one wire at a time take great care to get them right the first time.

After all the repairs are made a plastic conduit can protect the harness some. As far as I know there are 2 kinds. One has a split side, and the other winds on. Porbably the split side is the best protection as it has the least ways in for something, and you could add liquid tape to the split sort of.. Mac
