Agree 💯 - like many a shade tree mechanic wiring is my kryptonite

Absolutely!

Its time consuming but not that difficult if you start at the end of the circuit and work back to the switch or power source. Once the wire is installed, check the circuit for proper operation. Multiple wires from the end of the circuit to several power sources makes it somewhat more difficult but certainly doable. Ive rewired vehicles that had the entire wiring harness removed from them with nothing more than a factory shop wiring diagram.

it's very similar to plumbing with valves

No.... we are called Mechanics/Technicians. Edit: As much as I would love the title of super genius, or even genius... yeah, we just prefer being called what we are.

im a turbine mechanic (power plants not planes) and im SO GLAD that wiring is not something i ever touch

Same! I gave up in the early 90s. pre obd2 days!

@@bradleyyounger8499 Ironically, the wiring in cars since CAN (especially luxury cars) has actually become much simpler, the 1990s cars had enough spaghetti to make the Mario Bros cringe.

Wait till you see wiring on later cars, this is simple compared to that.

Amen Brother!!!

The getting back out of there is 😢.

And your back is only supposed bend in one direction !

Right! Sometimes I think chiropractors were invented because of mechanics and technicians!

Im not that tall, but rather "wide", so i broken my ribs more than once over the threshold trying to reach just that little further, it doesnt hurt that bad, but the sound it make when it pop is rather disgusting

The problem with using old wiring is degraded insulation as well as increased resistance. Best to use new wire and get new connectors or thoroughly clean old ones

@@donreinke5863 The 2005 Harness was in FAR worse shape than the 1974. Honestly the 1974 is a 10/10 condition wise, the wire jackets are still pliable and the copper is fresh and corrosion free, I was astonished how well it held up 50 years.

@@SarahnTuned I hope this teaches you that older is in many cases better. Materials were higher quality in many cases, so was craftsmanship and the work ethic necessary to build a higher quality product was in many cases still present. Of course, there were things like the Vega....... Still.....the dedication to do ANY job right no matter what is very admirable and sorely lacking among most today. You are to be commended for that...from someone who has been in automotive repair for 52 years.

In one of my Capris they had installed a afttermarket alarm and the immobiliser was acting up a lot, so that was the first thing I ripped out when I got it. Have hidden switch for the ground on ignition works way better than some of the old alarms.

Toyota should bring a Handbuild ''Legacy Series'' on the market!

I found a few factory wiring diagrams for the 77 Celica online
