New to me project 95 XE 4wd manual.  Starter went out and while under noticed multiple wires and hoses cut or not attached.  Not sure what has been bypassed etc. 

 

Been cleaning up after Helene and haven't had the opportunity to really research.  Figured some folks on here may know.  

 

Thanks.

 

PS - Had a heck of a time getting pictures resized from phone

The hoses underneath are likely vents for your axles, transmission and transfer case. Those aren't under much pressure, so they use those snap clamps

 

The orange cap looking thing looks like what I have on mine and should be the oil sending unit under there, if it's on the driver's side, above the starter.

 

The plugs that are on the side of what looks like your transfer case, should be the 4WD indicator, Reverse, and Speedometer

 

Upper left, might be the transfer case indications for the 4WD. I believe the speedometer should be on the tailshaft of the transfer case.

 

The lower right one, could be the remnants of your oil sending unit. Kinda hard to tell.

Last question...normal splicing like I'm accustomed for marine applications work?

Maybe. There is a lot of potential vibration going on around these parts/connectors, so depends on what you mean.

I personally use solder seal heat shrink butt connectors; although I do own a heat gun. These connectors release solder and seal the wires at the same time upon the application of heat and so it's definitely never coming apart.

I usually use either solder or uninsulated crimps (with a proper crimper), then apply marine-grade heat shrink (the kind with the hot snot inside) to keep them dry. If you're used to making connections that survive in a marine environment, you should be golden.

 

If you're not sure where a wire goes/what it does, download the EL section of the '95 manual from Nicoclub. Harness routing and wire colors should help you track down what's what. The colors are pretty simple, except that Nissan labels blue as L.

Those cut wires would drive me crazy. Good luck figuring out what goes where!

I have some of those cut wires, only because I couldn't get the OE shocks disconnected. When I replaced them, most of them collapsed immediately. That's what happens after 30 years of use I suppose.

Was just under mine the other day trying to figure out how difficult it's going to be to pull my transmission. I observed that the O2 sensor wiring was held up out of the way by a wire wrap on the transmission... didn't know that was there, among other things.... Yet another thing....
