Q:hi i have a 2006 pontiac vibe and and im installing a sub and a after mark it radio in my car and i was wondering if i need a wire harness or if i could just take the wires and connect them together please help

I WOULD GET THE HARNESS, no mess no cutting just better to do.

Q:I have a 2004 chevy cavalier that i want to replace my factory cd player with one that you can listen to ipod on.i was told at best buy i would have to buy a special wire harness that would cost $150 so my alarm and everything would work. i was wondering why and if GWH-22 harness would work?

They are bullshitting you, no need to buy special harness gwh-22 works the alarm system is totally separate from what the radio is trust me I have work in lots and basically that is how they make their money.

Q:I was thinking about buying a car from someone online and they said it drives well, it has a clean title and listed all the car's features in the post's description, but also said it doesnt have a engine wiring harness. I don't know a lot about cars (just that I need one lol) so just looking for reassuring opinions. thanks

That makes no effing sense. There must be an engine wiring harness if the engine is in the car and the car runs. That car is a basket case. You do not need all the problems it has.

Q:can you use jdm wiring harnesses on us cars? If not is it hard to hook it up?

You can use the plugs but the actual harness you cant. This is because JDM harnesses are designed for right hand drive cars, so they are too short. Use your stock harness and add in the plugs you need, this is the easiest way to do it.

Q:I need to connect a wire to my Sony stereo's wiring harness. The wire that i need to run comes out of the head unit, connects with the other wires to the stock wiring harness, but doesn't continue out of the other side of the connector. I thought this would be the best way to connect the wire. But how do I get it to stay put in the connector? Looks like it needs a little tiny female end, but I don't have one that small.

I'm guessing the wire goes to the ignition switch, so when you turn your car on the stereo comes on? Yeah, i would just go to radio shack and get whatever you need there. If you gonna do it, do it right the first time. The last thing you want is that wire to ground out somewhere and cause problems.

Q:I just bought a 1996 Honda Accord, and I got kind of cheap, so I'm expecting some problems. But I wanted to install an aftermarket radio like a Pioneer, and I get the concept of all the connections from youtube videos, but it looks like who ever had the car before me messed up the radio wiring. So there is absolutely no wiring harness in the vehicle already, its just jagged and messed up wiring coming from the console where there supposed to be a wiring harness. Can anyone tell me what to do? It would seem like I would have to connect a new harness to the jagged wires in my car.Thanks.

you need to find a wiring diagram for your car. it will explain what each wire is for and what color they are. once you get that then you can hard wire (solder or cramp-on) new stereo.

Q:I am trying to find out how to re-insulate wires on a wiring harness. how dangerous is to have soreasonerre-soder the wires and reinsulate them? I have been looking online about this and can't find much about it.

As long as you have basic knowledge of soldering and you are working on wires that aren't connected to the power you should be fine. You could use shrink wraps to re-insulate the wires. The new insulation should last for years, all depends on what kind of atmospheric or mechanical conditions apply to your harness.

Q:I have the factory head unit out and everything, I just need to know if I should be cutting the leads for the left and right rears straight off the harness that plugs into the back of the factory head unit. Thank you all in advance!

are you going with an aftermarket stereo or are you keeping the factory.if you are using the factory you DO NOT cut the wiresyou use the line converter on the speaker leads for the rears and then you ground ityou still have to run power wires and that is assuming you are using subs and ampslemmie kknow if you have any more questions

Q:How much would a wiring harness cost for a 1994 plymouth duster

well first off you need the RIGHT harness somewhere on the harness was a plastic tag that had that harness pin configuration on it. if your harness burnt the chances are it's gone. you don't state why you need one or what happend to yers but if it's just cut up you would be better off repairing it. other than that try a salvage yard they might not have cut all of theres then in most yards thats a pull it yerself item and it could cost betwqeen 30 and 100 dollars . you never should take the price of someone else as gosple , cause another man can't price the other mans treasures

Q:hello. i took out my old radio from my 1995 jeep cherokee. and i cut the wires from the old wiring harness. and now they are to short. and i want to put back in my old radio and still have the little adaptar/harness. . but the wires are two short to connect. how can i take those out safely so i can take the metal ends of them and put them onto the wires in the jeep then snap them back into the harness.

Buy a couple feet of 16 gauge THHN wire and some crimp-on butt splices. Use a wire crimper to strip the short wires, and butt splice a few inches of the new wire on to the short ends. Then connect the new wires to the harness. ACE hardware should have everything you need. An auto supply house might also.
