Where can I get new wiring harnesses for an 87 pathy?

[RCWD21]

I need the engine sub-harness and dash wiring harness. The previous owner did one hell of a job ruining both! The stereo connection is hacked up, the end near the fuse panel is ruined. Under the hood is just really stiff and brittle. Would a newer model harness work for the interior?

 

At this point I'm livid with this guy. And I'm still waiting for the rest of the parts that were "supposed" to be in the back when I got it. I'm missing almost $400 worth of parts just off the engine...

 

This thing needs a lot of work but I'm up for it as long as I can source some inexpensive harnesses or even some alternatives.

Anyone? I've been searching every combo of words I can think of on here and good and I can't find anything. I know these things exist but I just can't find them

This is one of those things that, if buying new from the dealership, may be difficult to find, or prohibitively expensive. You may be better off scouring the junk yard, clipping off what you can, and patiently splicing things back together.

 

However, I suggest you go to parts.nissanusa.com, put your VIN in, and check out the Body Electrical [E] - Wiring [240] section. I took a guess on some details about your 90 XE, and the engine sub harness p/n is there (not sure if there were variations, so I'd rather not post the p/n I saw). It also looks like there are repair harnesses for the relays that may be very useful for you. The FSM usually adds a lot more detail about this stuff, but judging by what's available at NICO, I'm not sure if the older FSMs had that level of detail for wiring.

Well my 90 is OK now (got away with scraping and cleaning connections) but the 87 I have now has been cut and ruined (cut wires right up close to plugs) I may just resolder and heat shrink the connections until I can source a new or good condition harness. Do you think one out of an 86.5 to 89 harbody would be the same? I would assume so seeing as its basically the same.

[hawairish]

Yes, I would think them to be the similar, if not the same. But, of course, a donor of that age may have similar problems.

[RCWD21]

Well mainly I'm just looking for a harness in decent shape that hasn't been cut by an idiot lol I'm analysis about wiring and if it's not perfect then it bugs me to no end

[hawairish]

Believe me, I'm the same way. I had a bit of a rat's nest to clean up on my own truck when I got it.

I have pics of most everything I'm dealing with with this thing that I'll be putting up in my other thread.

All my pics so far will be there. I was going to take more but got rained out shortly after taking those
