...a lot of head scratching Laughing

Replacing a front body loom. Not a job to be undertaken lightly. Got a bit of a shock opening the box, seeing that mess of wires :shock:

After 6.5 hours, the old loom is out, and the new loom is about 75% refitted. Should be up and running by lunchtime Laughing

Monday Thumbs Up

Then the rest of the car to rebuild, that someone else had taken apart Rolling Eyes

Ian, the car had very intermittent issues with the blower motor, wiper motor, radio, transfer case connectors, Can-Bus issues behind the battery. Rather than take the whole loom to bits and try to find (or not to find Shocked )a few, potentially, tiny wiring issues, the customer opted to replace the entire loom, and be done with it Thumbs Up
