fire #2...HA! its been on fire 5 times or more, i just dont know when to call it quits, luckily the car is in great shape still and none of them burned the car down.

anyway, all of the wires that come out of the passenger side bundle are burnt about 3 feet from where they come through the firewall, this led me to believe i could cut them short and solder longer wires on them and reconnect them.

i didnt feel like putting in a new wiring harness because its only underhood stuff, and its a non computer controlled vehicle, i figured it would be easier to replace 10 wires then to rewire my car...or could i cut the wires that go to the back and rewire them into a new wiring harness?

also, ill get pics soon
