wiring 4

This has been the fourth week of the wiring job, I thought we almost finished it. But the truth is as we go deep, we found more jobs we have to finish. When we took all the components and wiring harnesses out, we had to keep all the original wires. Since our project is to build the EFI system, there are a lot of them we won’t need. So now we have to clear all the wires which are not part of the project.

The worst thing ever is that when we are trying to clear the wires they are all tangled together.

Here is the picture shows how a big mess it is. Actually some wires on the combination meter and fuel pump are not showing in this picture, and also we have cleared some of it. We should have taped them to avoid them run into each other in the first place. Now we have to clean the mess.
The other thing is that the wiring diagram we had before is actually only part of it. When we came to the fuel pump and combination meters connection, we did not find any information at all. So we went to ask our supervisor to help us to get the whole wiring diagram.

                                                                The one we used since the beginning.

The one we get from our supervisor which is bigger displayed and all the information included.
With the help of the new wiring diagram, we start to disconnect all the wires which are not part of it. I have to tell the truth that I have learned so much from this project. how to read a wire diagram, they are so well designed for understanding. what is the different between the real wiring and the wire diagram. How to make a profession wire connection. How the connectors work.

Here are some pictures we took after we disconnect all the unnecessary wires and taped the wires. Really good job.
