started installing the wire harness today (remember 1500)

can someone take a pic of how it routes from the wiper motor to the front of the car? - thanks

also, does it go through the grommet up and to the left of the fresh air intake?

How does it attach as it crosses in front of the rad?

how do the headlight wires route from the engine bay to inside the fenders?

thanks all

I redid everything in mine from the firewall forward. When I redid it, I rerouted the harness outboard for a cleaner look. Originally the harness ran outboard of the pedal box and then routed inboard behind the wiper motor. At that point the harness ran along the frame rail forward to the front of the vehicle.

"Follow the clips". All those tabs should give you an idea of the routing.

Theres a grommet in the panel (the radiator mounts to it) on the drivers side that routes the harness across to the passenger side.

Theres a small gap between the outer fenders and inner fenders on both sides aft of the radiator panel that the harness slips through for connecting the lights. The harness just slips through the opening. Yeah, it's kinda crude- so much for grommets. UL would never let that kinda stuff fly by.
