[urq] Pulling Wiring Harness out of a 200 3B?

[The Corbs]

Thanks Dennis.  Thanks for confirming that I didn't do all that for nothing!!

Man, that 200 dash is built like a brick @#%&house!!

I'm now at the point where I have disconnected all the wiring leading to the fuse box and pushed it into the car.

What I'm finding is that the "red" wrapped lead from the ECU branches into all sorts of secondary connections.

Do I need to trace all of these to source and pull them as well?

That said, is it best to keep the 3B harness all intact, pull and discard the UrQ harness, and substitute with the full 3B, ie no splicing?

I hate the thought of having to dismantle the UrQ's dash to get the harness in!

Thaqnks

  I just did this last weekend. No small task indeed!!
  One thing that would be of tremendous help would be to have someone else to help. If you can have an assistant push while you pull, you will save yourself a ton of time. It does all have to come into the interior side of the firewall. Wear gloves if you can. The harness wrap is sticky gooey and hard to clean off your hands. 
  The heater box does have to be up out of the way to get the portion free across the transmission tunnel.
  I had originally planned to use an AAN motor and pulled that harness which seemed easier for some reason. That motor didn't work out so had to go back and get the 3B harness. Trust me, you don't want to do this twice.
  Good luck!
