Unless you replace every single wire and terminal you're going to have electrical problems, it's amazing any of it works after 25-30 years outside!

Yet to tackle the electrics on mine. When I look at the looms lying on the garage floor I feel sick.

 

I have no clue with electrics. The worst part is everything worked fine before I messed with it.

I found it very easy to put back.

The fuse board plugs only go back one way,( I think theres a couple of spade connections that can get mixed). The loom is split into 4 main parts Front electrics (fed through passanger side hole in bulkhead), Rear electrics (from the fuse board under the passanger seat to the rear), Engine management (fed through drivers side footwell) Dashboard Controls/Lights. (hangs over the heater matrix).

Once you get them fed through the bulkhead and roughly in the position they were in, all most of the lugs should line up.

There's also a number on the end of each wire which can by referenced in the Haynes.
