I finished my rewire today, and everything is working. I almost can't believe I did it.
At any rate, I went w/ the EZ Wiring 21 circuit harness because it was so much more affordable than painless. My experience was very positive, and I recommend this harness.
I expected this to take all winter because I have never done anything like this before. If I had no other committments, I could have completed this job start to finish in a week. The harness they give you is a GM harness so you can cut off and discard any of the plugs that are attached to the harness. Every wire is labeled every few inches so you know where it goes. The only tricky part is figuring out how to route the wires, and there are a few times I had to go over things many times w/ a multimeter to get the right connections because Ford uses different, Headlight switches, wiper switches, ignition etc....
I actually ended up purchasing the EZ wiring ignition switch cuz mine sucked anyway.
I thought their tech support was great. They are eastern so I had to make all my calls by 1:00 my time(they close at 3:00) but the guys emailed me anytime I had a question, and walked me through some of it over the phone. I am impressed.
So, take it from someone who has never wired much more than a home stereo, This was a great experience for me, I have no gremlins, and all of the circuits seem to be functioning properly.
Now on to the Brakes!
