finally, wiring part comes to an end

Hooray, we have been working on the wiring part for a couple of weeks. now it finally comes to an end. i would like to show you how we make the work tidy and effective after the bad experience happened.
 since we don't need every function of the dashboard, we have taken out all the wires unnecessary. these are what left and they are taped to make job easy and tidy.

as one of the most important components, the ECU has a lot of wires running into it. what you can see now is like only 1/3 of wiring. and also all the wires are taped and categorized.

to disconnect wires from either the ECU or the dashboard connector is really a patient job.
they have different design but have the same basic principal, now i'd love to show you what i found on the connector to dashboard
 this is the d connector to the dashboard according to the wiring diagram,  as you can see, most of the wires have been removed
 to remove the wires from the connector, a special thin long needle has to be used. there are two locking tabs can be only taken out towards the wire direction
 as the big tab removed out, the small one will just falling out without pushing by the needle
 here shows the small tab


the wires are connected to the metal termianl to make contack with the metal bars on the dashboard. to take out the metal termial, the needle has to be used to push a locking pin underneath towards the bottom
