'creating new wiring looms' question.

vrooom · Post by **vrooom** » Thu Aug 24, 2006 10:48 pm

I would like to create new wiring loom for megajolt. 4 thing that stopped me in track is.

Where can i find EDIS4 connectior (female) pins, and on other side of loom, Molex connector pins (female), also VR style connector pins (female)? or am i best of soldering the wires togothers?

What amp wire?

How do you wire the sheilded core wires? as i noticed there is a diagram of wiring to sheilded core wirings?

EDIS pins - I've not heard of an equivalent in the UK yet. I've CAREFULLY reasleased the clips and taken the wires out of the connector, opened them and carefully cut the wiring back as far as I could. The new wiring can then be soldered onto pin. I did the same with the VR sensor and coil plugs.

I've used 20 AWG (0.75mm) singles right the way through, as it's what I had at work, but it's heavier than the stuff that was in the Ford loom so there's no worry of it not being up to the job. The VR cable and SAW/PIP to the MJ was done with this <a href=http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?Mod ... =25m8>THIS CABLE</a>.
Wiring the sheilded cores - Strip a few inches of insulation back and unravel the screen if it's braided. Twist it to make it into it's own wire, essentially leaving you with three cores. Insulate the bare strands (preferably with heatshrink, but tape will do) and solder them into the recovered EDIS pin.

There'll be a mini-specific guide on minifinity soon too
