Another round of "will it work?"

[Mr. Rustypwnz]

OK bros and hoes..

I have just aquired a 89lx hatch, that was a 4 banger car obviously im swapping it over..

anyway the engine harness I have is a 93, I know it wont work already, but could I swap my dash harness out of my 93 into my 89 and make it all work? I dont care If I have to swap the cluster out of the 90+ cars to make it work, I have one already so thats not a prob lol

So will it work or will it sink?

 

[strtrcr50]

Will you also be swapping in the airbag column/steering wheel?

 

[SVT32VDOHC]

Put everything 93 in it. Engine harness, dash and harness, because the dashes are different. One has fuse panel in different location and the dummy lights in the speedo bezel. Use the 93 column and bag too. Make it all work together.

 

[Mr. Rustypwnz]

**** that I want my tilt wheel, ill just get a 89 harness..

 

[SVT32VDOHC]

89 harnesses go for a lot on ebay. I bid 175 on one and got out bid.

You can still use your column, but you may have to rewire a couple things to get the horn and cruise to work due to the clock spring not being there.

 

[Mr. Rustypwnz]

crap all I have to do is plumb my fuel and im about done with this car and ive had it 2 days lol.. I want to race this weekend..

 

[Bad92GT]

thank god I have an extra 89 harness hidden in my garage for whenever I feel up to swapping a car. They are hard to come by now lol.

 

[Mr. Rustypwnz]

bad92: what up mang, havent seen you around in awhile!!

 

[Mr. Rustypwnz]

mps has one, they want $250 and I found one on the corral for $165 which isnt too bad, im gonna see how low he will go and ****** it up..

 

[strtrcr50]

I didn't think it was that hard to find an 89 harness. Took me two weeks of looking at online classifieds. Got the harness and an a9p for $110.

 

[hsean]

what is so special about an 89 harness?

 

[cenok is family]

it's the only year that had a tilt wheel and mass air

 

[hsean]

i have a 91 engine harness and i won a a9l computer on ebay i plan on changing over to mass air myself.i have the non tilt steering column already and i plan on getting a 90-93 cluster will the wiring in my dash work?i have a black dash out of a 90 that i am going to swap over.this will all go in my 87

 

[cenok is family]

are you going to use the 87 dash harness still? it's not going to work unless you get a new dash harness as well

 

[hsean]

are you going to use the 87 dash harness still? it's not going to work unless you get a new dash harness as well

i was now i wish i would have grabbed the harness too off the 90 i stripped

 

[hsean]

i don't plan on keeping the airbag functional infact i have a airbag dummy that is hollowed out that i can use with the newer steering wheel.

 

[Mr. Rustypwnz]

well guys I think im just gonna put my 93 harness in it, I hooked up power to it and none of the interior lights come on, no power to the windows or locks, no dash lights either (illumination), so Im just gonna swap it with something I know that works, and then I can be done with this damn thing..

 

[Mr. Rustypwnz]

its underway as we type.... the dashes are out with both sets of wiring, so it will be soon..

 

[Mr. Rustypwnz]

done guys, so it looks like tomorrow ill be driving ol rusty around.

everything plugged up, so Im stoked I bought this car this wednesday, didnt touch it thursday or friday, so 3 days off and on, isnt bad I think for a 4 banger swap.
