I am about to remove the motor/trans/computer from an '89 and put into a '90. I need to get a wiring harness for the '90 (the car doesn't have one), after doing some searches I need to get another one specifically for a '90 b/c of the airbag. My question is what harness(es) do I need to get?? They are both LX/5sp hatches with power everything... The interior of the car is in tact. What can I expect to pay/Where is a good place to get one?? What do I need to look out for when installing the harness, any assistance is greatly appreciated...

You dont need anything special or any special directions to install the harness but you need to get an 90 harness.... 91 MAY work, But dont chance it just get a 90. Best place to look for one is in the classified section of this board and try corral.net too.

Any working A9L (5 speed) or A9P (auto) will work with a 5 speed. Auto trans cars supposedly will only work with the A9P. The A9L & A9P computers came in 89-93 Mustangs.
