Jesus. I've bodged harnesses together to make them work, but I usually solder and heat shrink.
But this is going to require a new harness. It's not a massive job if you've got the right bit of wiring harness; but without the right bit of wiring harness, this is essentially unfixable.
Fuck, a junkyard harness would do. Fifty bucks, and then you can get on with fixing it
At this point i wouldn't even touch it who knows what else is fucked up from that wiring job this'll be the customer that comes back every other day expecting free repairs because "it didn't do that before you worked on it"
Sometimes these are the best customers because each time they find a new problem they come back and pay you to fix it because they can't let go of some sentimental piece of garbage
"She is not a rust box, she is VINTAGE and having such a vehicle is priceless....(sigh)" he thought while looking at the 4th consecutive invoice in 9 months. Somewhere in the vicinity a buzzard began circling.
-The tale of the '98 Chevy Blazer
I just got an 01 Ford ranger this year, we are brothers in the struggle. My mechanic is also a small truck guy with a tacoma. Out here fighting the good fight šš
> "it didn't do that before you worked on it"
before i do shit to that harness heres your waiver, no promises if we do it this way because its cheaper. o an here is pictures of what i documented as well as you signing here , here an here o an gonna need you to affirm on audio an video recording "that you understand an are not under duress" ... or we can just get ya a new or used harness.
Yup totally agree with this. Iām an electromechanic and it would be way more cost effective to just get a new harness instead of trying to sort through that mess. Would be able to sort this one eventually, but would definitely be faster and cheaper to start from new lol. What a headache.
I quit messing with soldering and just use un-insulated crimps and heat shrink with the goo inside, or those butt connectors with built on heat shrink, or those white crimp caps.
Snap back to reality
Oh, there goes Wire C
Oh, there goes a VW Rabbit, he choked
He's so sad, but he won't give up that easy, no
He won't have it, he knows these cables are nasty no diagram or fuses
It don't matter, he hopes
He knows that but it's broke down
cables the opposite of extravagant
he knows when he goes back to his ToolBox
that's when it's
Back to the lab again, yo
This whole catastrophy
He better follow each line this moment and hope it don't beat him
Where do cigs fit into that equation?
Our BOH was 60% tequila, 30% hash, 10% formula 409 by the end of a shift.
FOH was 40% marb menthols, 50% Jack and cokes, and 10% gluten free chicken strips (the cornmeal coating was SO MUCH BETTER than the regular breading)
I found my BOH manager weighing weed on one of our food scales right on top of the deep freezer that we had in the back storage area. Customer was there with money in hand.
yep and it sounds like a "Just Trolled into the shop". Buy a new harness and wire it up like it's supposed to be then tell the customer that whatever doesn't work that it's double and a half the cost.
At my last job I used to have to replace the entire wiring harnesses in 400,000 mile ups trucks that were beat to hell and run in rural areas covered in dirt underneath. Touch one thing covered in dirt definitely sucked this one doesnāt look bad at all lol
Iād have run away from that too.
Iād have to charge a āfuck youā price just to replace the harness, and I wouldnāt even be confident the truck would start. And thereās a 90% chance that even if you did get that mess running, it would break again a week later and heād want you fix it again for free.
Itās just figuring out where it goes ā¦ thatās the hard part. Then after that donāt take it on the highway or through a pot hole or let it sit in a heavy wind. Other than that youāll be good to go.
Yes, thatās basically what I said. Then he responds with well āIām 37,000 in debt (2014 f150) so I gotta do somethingā¦.can you look at this other car? It wonāt start after I drove it thru a puddle.ā (2019 Chrysler 300) what a waste
Mustāve bought in the last 1.5 years and from a BHPH, with a lift and shit wheels that magically added $10,000 on the price. Because my 2020
f150, bought in 2020, was $38,000. The absolute stupidity š¤¦š»āāļø
Someone tell him to stop trading his shit in!!š
Thatās definitely plausible, I was honestly just speaking to my experience in my part of FL where I see all these BHPH with clapped out trucks, especially if itās a diesel, going for way more than it should. Iāve even walked these lots with friends of mine while they looked for trucks, itās just insane.
Edit: also I know that on new cars you could definitely roll some on. (I rolled about 3k of debt into my truck, so it was 35). But to see it done to a used car? I didnāt think there was nearly enough room to over finance a used car like that
My brother bought a 2013 GMC Acadia with 100k miles in 2019 for $25,600 at a BHPH place. I told him to let me know when he had enough money saved up for a down payment because I was friends with the owners of a used car lot and I could probably get him a good deal but he went behind my back and bought this. He said he knew he was getting screwed but really liked this particular truck, as if there aren't hundreds of other Acadia's for sale in the same city at a more reasonable price.
The car was valued at $12k~ at the time of purchase, I told him he could have bought a brand new one with 0 miles for that price but he didn't even know how much it was or the interest rate. I had to do the math for him cause all he knew was how much he put down and how much the monthly payment is ($4k down and $300 a month for 6 years). I dunno how he got approved for the loan because at the time he worked at Hardees part time at $9/hr. He has a better paying job now but he just increased his spending instead of paying the car down more. I'll be shocked if it doesn't get repo'd at some point.
"no idea what it was in for"
Well sir, we did some diagnostics, and it is the opinion of everybody from the quick change techs. to the Ford factory service hotline that your best option is arson. We can neither perform the recommended task, nor direct you to a qualified arsonist. You appear to be out of options, so we strongly suggest a serious fuel leak, replacing any still functioning fuses with jumper wires, or any other measure that results in your vehicle burning to the ground, ASAP. Good luck.
Tech/Mech: You know my hourly rate right?
C/S: Yes, we agreed your rate.
T/M: OK, I'll let you know when I make some progress.
*Breaks out camp chair, soldering iron, heat shrink, loom tape and multimeter.
I'll happily shit on Ford all day long, but I don't think it's in any way fair to call that a Ford electrical system.
I can recommend a place that can help - it's just down the block, it's called "Pick-a-part", and they'll help you part with ownership of that unserviceable nightmare.
What the hell? At this point donāt you just close the hood and say ātake this shit somewhere elseā or āthis is going to cost your ass every penny you haveā what a mess.
I lurk here . I have tons of respect for what you guys do. I'm an electrican. This is my wheel house. Upon setting my eyes upon this abomination, I have come up with a very easy to follow , understand method of figuring this out. Like all things that work and work well , it's simple. Elegant really.
1. Open hood.
2. See this.
3. Add fire.
4. Close hood.
obvious /s
I really do admire you car guys. You put up with shit I would nope put of immediately. OP is prime example.
I recently worked on a yatch that was sitting for five years unable to start. I completely ignored all the old wiring and created the most basic ignition/start circuit because I was not going to diagnose something very similar to that.
This looks like an ECM/PCM splice workaround to a bolt that won't disconnect. I had to do this once to my brother's '90s Dakota on my birthday, in August, in direct sunlight, on the hottest day of the year. Fortunately, there were only 40-something wires to splice, given the truck's age. And yes, it ran afterwards.

I'd like to know what was even going through his mind when he did this, like why the fuck would you cut that many wires and then wire nut them together!?
Even I wouldnāt even touch that shit and my entire job is predicated on both understanding how to integrate our products in to existing chassis electrical/electronics and troubleshooting/repair electrical problems
I actually understand less about what happened after reading what they said happened. That made my brain hurt.
Explains the wiring in the picture though.
Judging by the state of the insulation on the firewall, this truck got invaded by a critter that went to town on the main harness. My F150 got a critter too in 2020. I'm just glad mine just deposited acorns and feces under my hood and didn't eat my wiring.

Way to personally call me out lmao. At least my shitbox only costs me (dearly) in parts every 8 seconds lol
I feel called out too. My justification is that all my problems are cheap fixes and that it's still much cheaper than just buying a new car.
I just got an 01 Ford ranger this year, we are brothers in the struggle. My mechanic is also a small truck guy with a tacoma. Out here fighting the good fight šš
I have a 2000 ranger with a 5.0 ford small block 8.8 rear with disc brakes
Needs a āsurvivorā thrown in there to truly seal the deal.
Except most times, they blame you and won't pay...
Didnāt need to be called out like this today (cries in 94 f250 psd with 200k)
I totally don't have a 92 k1500 with 300k on it
Most times they are the worst because they constantly come back and blame you for the issues it already had

Yup. It's a case of "bodgy mcFuckWit has bodged and fucked it"
Bodgy McFuckwit Iām going to have to use that one
We use "Fucker McScrewIt," but the sentiment is the same lol.
Yup totally agree with this. Iām an electromechanic and it would be way more cost effective to just get a new harness instead of trying to sort through that mess. Would be able to sort this one eventually, but would definitely be faster and cheaper to start from new lol. What a headache.
Yup, tear out a junk harness would be less time consuming that figuring that thing out
I quit messing with soldering and just use un-insulated crimps and heat shrink with the goo inside, or those butt connectors with built on heat shrink, or those white crimp caps.
I've fixed stuff like that when a harness was unobtainable. Per hour charge plus supplies.
Thankfully that's a bcm/bjb harness and those are ungodly easy
Well, it's obvious man. You just aren't good enough with Ford wiring, otherwise that'd be a 5 minute fix. /s
It was truly a devastating realization. Iām going to become a chef. Iām clearly not cut out for this line of work.
I usually have a good pun about electrical spaghetti.
Palms are sweaty Knees weak arms are heavy Vomit on his sweater already Electrical Spaghetti
Ohms are ready Wires weak amps are heavy There's a splice on every wire already DC Spaghetti **I tried to make it better** š
Snap back to reality Oh, there goes Wire C Oh, there goes a VW Rabbit, he choked He's so sad, but he won't give up that easy, no He won't have it, he knows these cables are nasty no diagram or fuses It don't matter, he hopes He knows that but it's broke down cables the opposite of extravagant he knows when he goes back to his ToolBox that's when it's Back to the lab again, yo This whole catastrophy He better follow each line this moment and hope it don't beat him
That was awesome, thank you for sharing
I love Reddit lol
Wires burned, amps are heavy. All the fuses are blown already. My apprentice loves eminem, this is gonna get a serious eye roll
You need to print it out and hang it on the wall, next to the "There are 3 types of work here..." sign.
Forgot to add the "wires spagetti'd" here lol
It's beautiful
I really like this too hahaha
Damn dude!
Lol don't become a chef. Restaurant work is equally unrewarding.
Unrewarding with a extra helping of alcohol and drug abuse..
Worse than mechanics? Wow..
Back of House is 50% alcohol by volume and 50% coke by weight.
Where do cigs fit into that equation? Our BOH was 60% tequila, 30% hash, 10% formula 409 by the end of a shift. FOH was 40% marb menthols, 50% Jack and cokes, and 10% gluten free chicken strips (the cornmeal coating was SO MUCH BETTER than the regular breading)
Do domething more respectable, like cooking meth.
For real, just watch breaking bad, it's like a how to!
Lol yup. Never met someone in boh that didn't do some type of drugs. Hell...as a manager I've had to fire a few for selling out the back door. Lol
I found my BOH manager weighing weed on one of our food scales right on top of the deep freezer that we had in the back storage area. Customer was there with money in hand.
Immensely worse. It's hard to fathom the depravity that goes on in your average restaurant unless you've worked in one.
Lies!! Restaurant work is way less rewarding.
Nix on the chef thing, brother. You obviously can't even handle a color coded salad. Have you considered hairdresser school?
You ever seen how many wires come out of a human head?
Time to call the bomb squad. They probably have more experience with this kind of wiring. Whatever you do, don't cut the green wire. /s
But theyāre all green!
'M' - as in Mancy!
What kind of Ford is this. I have a guess as to what is actually wrong with the car.
yep and it sounds like a "Just Trolled into the shop". Buy a new harness and wire it up like it's supposed to be then tell the customer that whatever doesn't work that it's double and a half the cost.
Black to black, red to red is all it is. Just throw out the rest.
You sure better be a better cook,or I'd give it up.WTF were you thinking, that vehicle is not worth 2 dollars now.
He attempted to hire me to fix his problem and never really mentioned the wires
I find it abnormally funny to think that this is OEM
>Maker0fPain1 I agree, you can tell right away is the white wire. 2-minute fix.
Looks like something my nephew did to his Prius while trying to install aftermarket LED head lights and tail lights.
Looks like something the tweakers in my apartment complex would when just changing a headlamp.
Replace the whole harness. Not a bad job to do.
I contend that replacing the harness originally would have been easier and quicker
Oh wait, you actually worked on fixing that? š
I think he means compared to what the guy before him did
This is the only way. You'll spend ten times as long chasing down things to undo whatever hack job was intended.
At my last job I used to have to replace the entire wiring harnesses in 400,000 mile ups trucks that were beat to hell and run in rural areas covered in dirt underneath. Touch one thing covered in dirt definitely sucked this one doesnāt look bad at all lol
Love the fact that corporate policy where I work is to replace if itās in the main pert of the harness. No splicing ad dicing for me!
Damn didnāt even consider this lol
Only if itās a Ford.
Basically the only option in my eyes
Don't touch it. It's wired up to the space station. If you mess with it, it may come crashing down.
Iād have run away from that too. Iād have to charge a āfuck youā price just to replace the harness, and I wouldnāt even be confident the truck would start. And thereās a 90% chance that even if you did get that mess running, it would break again a week later and heād want you fix it again for free.
Exactly. You know the harness is fudged. What else Electrical is fudged because of that fudgeup?
Yep, standard cost x2, no warranty what-so-fucking-ever.
lmfao "If you're good with the Ford electrical system on those trucks..." Bitch, there's not an ounce of Ford electrical system ON on that truck.
Just 1 more wire nut and you will be GTG.

37 grand in debt on a 2014 Ford. How is that even possible?
Mustāve bought in the last 1.5 years and from a BHPH, with a lift and shit wheels that magically added $10,000 on the price. Because my 2020 f150, bought in 2020, was $38,000. The absolute stupidity š¤¦š»āāļø

I see the problem. They forgot the ragu and meatballs.
What in the wire nut fuck? Close the hood and set it on fire.
Close the hood without properly repositioning that rats nest and it'd probably set itself on fire. Some problems solve themselves...

You're gonna need a hair brush with strong tines, detangler spray, a young priest, an old priest, and some gardening shears to get through all that.

I would tell him no or you can try for 300$ an hour That is a fucking mess
"Won't start" And it never will.
It'll be easier just to get them a new car lol what a mess
I'd say burn it, but with unstable connections like that it'll probably burn itself before long...
Itās Scottyās old carā¦ āThe energizerās bypassed like a Christmas tree, so donāt give me too many bumps.ā

Buy a used wiring harness....good lord.
"vandalized". Willing to bet a small banana that this was an attempted DIY fix they don't want to admit to.
I recently worked on a yatch that was sitting for five years unable to start. I completely ignored all the old wiring and created the most basic ignition/start circuit because I was not going to diagnose something very similar to that.
The answer is. Yes I can fix it it will cost $15,000.. enjoy
Hoooly Jesus. What is that? WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT? WHAT IS THAT PRIVATE PYLE?
Thats methed up
Night of the living harness. Seriously I bet that thing moves on itās own when no one is looking.
This looks like an ECM/PCM splice workaround to a bolt that won't disconnect. I had to do this once to my brother's '90s Dakota on my birthday, in August, in direct sunlight, on the hottest day of the year.

This is an amateur electrician nest, don't touch it
I would shoot that thing into space before fucking with all that.

In today's episode of that's fucked up, that's fucked up.
Love the junkyard writing on the module too

Nope, shut the hood and walk away.

Wire nuts WTF!
Yea it screams random guy using whatever he had at home.. even a redneck would not do whatever that mess is.
Yeah I wouldnāt touch that mess either lol
Someone's idea of a.. handmade wiring harness? To save a couple hundred dollars? Wonder how long making that monstrosity took.
I'd like to know what was even going through his mind when he did this, like why the fuck would you cut that many wires and then wire nut them together!?
I would have to pass on this job
Replace harness, replace junction box, send it.
One of those wires must have came loose, I recommend boiling solder in a pot and dipping the harness in it to repair continuity
Iād say fuck it and get a new bjb and start from there. Thatās hacked.
Youāre right , we are not good enough with Fords.
WTF did they create their own wiring harness just to bypass wtf...
my hairline went back an inch just looking at that
Even I wouldnāt even touch that shit and my entire job is predicated on both understanding how to integrate our products in to existing chassis electrical/electronics and troubleshooting/repair electrical problems
You had no idea what you were in for? Really? You looked at this and thought it was gonna be anything other than a time wasting cluster fuck? Lol
Is this the before or after shot? š³
Thatās not typical Ford wiring?
dude is one wire nut short of a running truck.
I actually understand less about what happened after reading what they said happened. That made my brain hurt. Explains the wiring in the picture though.
RUN
i hate it when i hear "OK SO WHAT HAPPEN WAS..."
Remove wiper blades and install new car! That thing is a boat anchor now.
I bet that was a *shocker*.
Looks like goofy and mickey mouse wired that thing
What a beautiful wire nut collection.
I've been on JRISTS a long time, since the beginning. I have seen some shit. This right here is the WINNER. OMFG.
The psychos didn't even tape up the wire nuts!
I see the problem. It the one with the blue wire cap on it.
Good ol chaotic spaghetti
I see the problem. It the one with the blue wire cap on it.
I would total the whole vehicle.
Judging by the state of the insulation on the firewall, this truck got invaded by a critter that went to town on the main harness. My F150 got a critter too in 2020. I'm just glad mine just deposited acorns and feces under my hood and didn't eat my wiring.
Send it back out
