Do you have to replace the wiring harness to? Or should I be able to replace the box and just clean the cable ends appropriately?

I suspect that it's best to replace the alternator cable. After having replaced the box and thoroughly cleaning the cable end, I found the input terminal continuing to overheat. This resulted in slight melting of plastic under the terminal and an intermittent open causing the idiot light to come on. I would recommend saving yourself the headache by replacing the cable (or at least the connector) when you install the box.

If the corrosion is down into the wire, it causes heat buildup at the end and melts the box and/or fuse. My cable from the alternator was doing this. I left the harness in place for the dry and ran a length of 4ga welding cable from the alternator to the fuse box. Had to open up the cable inlet a bit on the box with a Dremel. Make sure you insult ate the ends.

I just replaced the box and it was fine. Beware these cars have electrical problems. My vw jetta tdi caught fire due to electrical it was a total loss. Carry full coverage insurance

Hi Dennis, I had it professionally installed. As far as I know, no additional wiring harness was required.

You need to hire or find someone who can read the wiring diagram that came with the unit. Sorry, don't mean to sound short, but it was pretty easy for me. Can't give you a step by step through this text box.

Are you sure it's not your cable? I just had to replace my cable. It was low end and in switched to a mid level cable. If you do need to clean the port, be very careful and use a 90% methanol solution.

The wiring harness is a simple affair to rebuild, as long as the plugs are intact. A competent technician could easliy replace new wiring on the existing plugs. Check around town for a electric motor repair shop. The better ones do a lot of custom repair work and might be able to help you. You might also try to contact the maunfacture and see if they will sell you a new harness. If you can buy a new one, just find any local mechanic and have him install the new harness. Good luck.

Repairing the cord is very easy. You only need a screwdriver and something to strip the ends of the wires. It's about a five minute operation.

I don't think so, because I would think you would also need to purchase new cables as well. This is really a question for the manufacturer.

I didnt cut that wire off. I loosened the faring and unpluged the old one, then I pluged the new one in. I would say yes. I would just splice the new one to the old wire. Jerry

I don't. There has to be a problem with the installation. Probably a ground cable wrongly connected.

Replace the o2 sensor first. Cat converter is a whole lot more expensive and may be be unneccesary.

I just left the aux cable off and left the factory one. The only prob I had with the kit was making sure I had the right code on the converter box

You should not have to splice any of the wires. All of them are "plug and play." If your signals are not working, just reverse the way the new plug is into the old tail light pigtail. I hope this helps.

The wiring may need to be soldered to the mother board or replaced. I'd take it to a t.v. repair shop.

Re-route your signal wire exiting the control unit. Be sure not to run the wire parallel for any length close to the box.

I have had my cables replaced twice, once a year. They send you a new pair, as long as it's within the warranty, with no problem. Both times, it seemed like there was a loose, wiring issue, causing sound to drop out of one of the sound engines.
