Friends,
?
I have had considerable difficult removing my wiring harness. ?I cut out a portion of my rear Westy seat box but still couldn¡¯t get the connector through the hole, so I snipped it off and pulled the wiring into the engine bay. ?I posted the following on the samba so I thought I would post it here as well as I try to get some guidance on removing the harness. ?One kind samba member has responded so far and provided a photo (many thanks 4Gears4Tires!!). ?

¡°Okay guys. I¡¯m not sure how to pull the Vanagon wiring harness, i.e., what to take out and what to leave behind. I removed the ECU and pulled the main harness back into the engine bay and started to try to figure out what was what.
There is apparently a main harness and an engine management harness. I should remove the engine management harness but I don¡¯t know the difference. I asked for help from Jeff at AVSubaruconversions, who did my wiring harness, and indicated that I am a visual person and asked if he had any photos. He said ¡°I don¡¯t have any photos. To do a swap you need to be familiar with both platforms¡± and eventually told me ¡°you need to know what you¡¯re dealing with and looking at to do a swap. At this point you would have to research or pay somebody that knows how to do a swap if you don¡¯t want to research.¡±
The mechanicals are easy for me. The electrics are not.
So I¡¯m doing research as Jeff suggested and asking for help! What to take out and what to leave behind? When I received my harness Jeff included some notes and a screenshot of Smallcar¡¯s diagram to connect to the black box. So I feel confident that when I get to that point I will be able to install the modified harness. But I need to get to that point.
Any help, photos, diagrams, etc. will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!¡±
