I wouldn't mind doing a wire tuck on mine. And by that I mean I wouldn't mind paying someone else to do a wire tuck on my harness while I don't play with the idea of blowing my brains out. Wanna do mine too? lol

Other than a few (and by few I mean a solid 10 minutes) of cussing out the Mazda engineers when I realized I had to pull the dash, blower, and evap core to get the harness out it hasn't been too bad

I started stripping the wrap last night. Throw some music on and go to town, it's almost cathartic. We'll see if I'm still saying that by the end

My feeling on body work

Feel free to paint the bay on your own if you would like

***TitaniumTT*** · 02-23-2016, 04:05 PM

Where's the hours of block sanding in an engine bay?

You can remove all the seam sealer and putty everything smooth how about that?

***TitaniumTT*** · 02-23-2016, 04:36 PM

hence the

After pulling the seam sealer you gonna seam weld?

I meant in the entire bay, not just the wheel wells

We'll see how things are going when we get there.

RXtacy · 02-23-2016, 10:37 PM

Got the harness wrap stripped. Started to remove excess, have a lot to go.

For the first 8 years or so of ownership I made it without having to pull the dash. In the last few years I've pulled it about three or four times, and I'm about to again. I'm really getting sick of it lol. And I pulled my front harness out last summer, I know your frustration lol.

***TitaniumTT*** · 02-24-2016, 09:08 AM

Total time about 2.5-3?

Yea I pulled it the first time a few years ago when I put in new carpet. Didn't like the idea of cutting the carpet around the heater core.

Yea that's about right. Probably more towards the 3 side, but I've been taking my time and labeling as I go too.

***TitaniumTT*** · 02-24-2016, 10:09 AM

Must label. Saves looking things up two or three times. I saw the blue tape. I either use that or a different color zip tie.

Don't forget there's going to be a bunch of wires, power and or grnd that are going to be spliced together. Like one grnd goes out to 5 different connectors.

Mike, I had a thought this morning..... how is the fuel pump wired exactly. If memory serves, it's going to take a signal from the ECU, run through the firewall side, up to the relay box, back through the resistor, back into the front harness and then connect to the rear harness and go off to the fuel pump. That wire that once powered the fuel pump, trace that back to the jump between the front are rear harness and take the front harness section of wire and run it over towards the ECU.

That can be the new trigger for the relays that will be in the trunk area.
