Ebay Standalone Wire Harness Review - Is It Worth Saving The Money? 

They come with a piece of paper telling you what each color wire is. However my fans wires were a different color than what the paper said so i had to trace them back to be sure

What does the long red wire do??

Did it work good? Thank you!!

@@danielgarza5272 overall it did do a good job despite that one issue. I did have an issue finding the right coolant sensor and just wired in my own connector. Just make sure you order it with the right injector connections for what you have.

Yea runs great. Let me double check mine but I had two red wires with eyelets that attached to the starter lug that the 12v source goes. That provided power to the ignition relay and the fuse block.

Ok so you are correct the red wire is for the ignition relay. It ties in to a hot at start and run which is a pink wire off the ignition switch

Sorry i was tracing my wires and must have jumped to the other wire.

It would be really helpful, if you would do a video on that for me and a lot of other people. I know takes time to do all that tho. But, Did you hook fuel pump up to key on ignition and the red wire to key on ignition?

A local guy told me that you can’t have the fuel pump running continuously? Not sure what to do, I am still in high school trying to do ls swap by my self with the help of RU-vid. And help from good people.

Yea the one supplying 12v will go on the large stud on the bottom. You will see two large studs one of them is connected to the starter directly via a cableand the other requires the solenoid to close.

@@southerngearz thanks for all the help on walking me through this, but I have a more problems. where do I connect the battery positive? Or can I just connect it to the truck factory relay box?

Heck no they dont go to any connector or the pcm connections

@@southerngearz I have a similar, if not the same, harness as you. From what I can gather, 1 of the wires is for a single wire oil pressure sensor, the other is for a single wire coolant temp sensor. I continuity tested the entire harness myself and those 2 wires do not go anywhere in my harness either. My instructions state "99-02 gage cluster only" for both of those. My guess is they are just terminated inside the loom as to not throw a cluster light possibly?

@@southerngearz gray is normally tach signal, idk about yellow

@@jonathant4859 i will have to check that and see thanks guy

As long as its pinned right i dont think it matters but factory they are pinned different and repinning would be very time consuming

Yes it matters. If you have green and blue connectors then you have a drive by wire harness. The red and blue connectors are for drive by cable. They should have the correct harness for you. Just check the description

@@KJsGarage thanks guy i think they just used the ends because it was pinned for what i needed. The only connections i had issues with were the o2 sensors and the coolant temp sensor. I just couldnt find the one they wanted me to use so i put different connections on them. Haha problem solved.

@@southerngearz thanks man I think I’m going with one of their harnesses. I was starting to rework my stock hardness and the wires are all brittle and connectors are weak. Good looking out bud.

@@KJsGarage hey just wanted to know if I have a 700 R4 transmission and a 4l80e wiring harness can I just not hook that up

With the 98 you can get a harness made to plug and play basically. Just go to current performance wiring and they can custom build you a harness for what you need. www.currentperformance.com/product-category/custom-direct-fit-harnesses-2/

@@southerngearz would this one be a good one from Amazon

@@southerngearz thank your for your help sir i call Them and the guy I spoke with the guy at current performance he said he couldn't help me so I'm looking on ebay and Amazon I'm on a tight budget I'm on disability and fixing up a ride for me and my grandson lol trying to

@@carlwhetzel2759 you could always rework a truck harness they have lots of info online and its not very hard to do.

@@southerngearz sorry lol the guy I getting the truck from trash all the old wireing even the computer box I'm on Facebook look me up send me a message thank you

Yes sir that wire is for the fuel pump. However when i added my walbro it was too small of a wire and had to rewire it

@@southerngearz k

Does it have a plug for alternator and battery cable

I thought the red wire was for key on cranking 12 volts

At the ignition switch yes this is correct but my understanding was that he was referring to the stand alone wire harness. I could be wrong.

I got a 4l60E with a "stage 3" rebuild. The stage 3 rebuild kit came from ebay so what stage it really is who knows.

Is it a mad dog....I gotta mad dog stage 3 4l60e behind my lsa supercharged lq9.....love it, works like a charm

@@trentdawg2832 i rebuilt the trans with a stage 3 kit from ebay. Not sure if it is a real stage 3 or not but we will find out.

It was pre made into the harness but they go to two different relays. But you could

@@southerngearz @ did the harness work?

@@gerardolopez5875 yes sir sure did

@@southerngearz @ how much was d harness?

Sorry for the delay www.ebay.com/itm/264767068615

This is true i had a question about one of the wires not being the right color and they just sent back "what i got is what i got".

@@southerngearz I bought some front turn signal lenses for my 1979 Ford F-100 that came from them through their online (eBay) retailer, they're a full half inch short in width (left to right measurement), refused my money back, selling the same item with the very same complaint on Amazon... I think they're in Arizona with a poor BBB rating...
