Removing Digifant Wiring Qestion


Warren Chapman
 

I haven't yet been able to bring myself to cut the Digifant wiring
out of my van yet.

Firstly, I haven't been certain exactly what to cut out and a little
afraid I'll make a mistake and cut the wrong thing. I decided I
should complete the Subaru harness first to get a better
understanding
of what connections must remain. That has proved to be the right
decision. After living with the Subaru wires and Kennedy's diagram
for a week, I'm getting a better understanding of what to look for in
the vanagon harness to keep.

Secondly I'm not sure how to get the section out that's connected to
the Digifant ECU (inside the van under the passenger seat). It is
routed through mysterious and incaccessible places through the body
and frame before appearing in the engine bay.

I've even considered taping it up the Digifant harness real tidy like
and leaving it in the van, out of the way, just in case some day in
the future someone wants to return the van to Wasserboxer status.
Why?? Don't know. But someday, after I'm long gone someone may want
a purely VW Syncro Westy. ??????

What did you do Larry?
Sure would like to hear some other comments from veterans.

Warren,
I think your notion of leaving the harness intact may be a good one. It
might be more trouble than it's worth to get it out. Of course, you'll
be using much of it with the new harness.
I converted my van to a Jetta engine first, and since it was a diesel
originally, it didn't have much in the way of wiring. Just the basics.
I'll probably need to ADD more wiring to make all the connections I
need. So far I've added wiring for a rear heater and rear washer/wiper.
Why don't you email the guys whose websites you've recommended, and see
if they'll join us? I'm sure they have lots more info to share.
