Routing of wiring harness

36 years ago I removed the wiring harness from my Sprite to do a few body repairs. This year I plan to finish my "summer" project. I don't recall the placement/routing of the harness from the rear of the car to the front. I believe it passes from the rear into the space above the wheel well and next to the outside panel. From there it goes down toward the floor but does it then exit the inner space and rest against the corner behind the door and just lay on the floor as it runs forward? Would it just lay on the floor against the side under the door? This would place it so the trim panel below the door would not be completely against the side of the car. I have a batch of Sprite books but don't remember seeing any info in any of them about this.
 
It exits just above the inner sill and runs along the inner sill, not along the floor.
It is hidden by the interior panel, do watch when screwing in that panel, do not screw through the harness like I did :wink:
It runs up to the dash on the inner fender again behind the interior panel, there is a clip to hold it.
 
Many thanks. That is exactly what I needed to know.
