Front Wiring Harness Question - Help Please!

What if I buy a main wiring harness for my Beetle, and later on I want to replace the front trunk area wires? Is there a front wiring harness I can buy? TIA

Ok, my posts usually suck.. so I tried not to reply to yours.. I see it has been all day and still no-one else responded.. So even though my posts usually suck, I am going to give it a whirl.

First, WHY??

If you buy a brand new wiring harness kit, it will have the wires to re-do the front in the trunk also? I have never seen just a front kit sold.. I can only reccomend if the wiring harness for the entire car for some reason is not what you want, or is not as good as you want.. to simply replace each wire in the trunk one by one. So you dont mix them up or put them in the wrong place. You can get some nice connectors, or even heat shrink tubing to help make it look nice.

What exactly are you up to that will need wires in a brand new harness replaced in short near future?

I am trying to save up for something else.

That's what I had planned and to put wire loom ove the wires to make them into a cable.

The wires don't look so bad on the outside. When I was replacing the connectors on the turn signals last Fall, the wires looked really old inside the insulation. it can wait. Thanks all the same.

I eventually might try one of those inexpensive $65.00 kits from J.C. WhipMe or from Latest Rage. It most likely would not fit but, I might get color coded wires that way.

jcwhipme - that's a good one. I wouldn't trust them, maybe they are good, but good wiring harnes is not just wires it's also how well install is documented and whether wires are properly color coded. This is not just for purists, but also being able to use manual as reference after replacing the wiring.

has quite a few andunless you have early model prices are not that bad. Just compare to aothers and you'll see that pricing is good given the fact that you willhave correct replacement. I have used one of those kits and it was pretty well documented with step by step instructions as well as color coding.

Just save up and get a right kit.

Good luck, Anton
