Why did you change the wire harness?
@notvanpron4115 9 ай бұрын
I changed out my wire harness to try and fix a bad wire issue that this did not resolve. I am still digging for the probable bad ground (I could see it on the ham radio I had, I I need to try that testing out again.)

Good luck on your voyage to the perfect van. I have had an ‘84 Westy since Covid started(great timing, meh). I bought it from a restorer in California so it’s painted and much of the low hanging fruit were done. Now it’s in the shop at Rocky Mountain Westys for a Subaru swap. Looking forward to this Winter.

It runs great and I have about 750 miles on it now. 😢hey fixed a bunch of little stuff like LED headlights, power pack that will charge the house battery when docked with electricity, they went thru the lights so all my brake, running, turn and backup lights work. This climbs the gentle hills we have in the Ozarks without straining at all. Waiting for better weather to get out for several days.

I must have looked at this just after my 87 arrived, the guy who sold it to me, said comeback next weekend, you can pull the harness from another 2.1 so I did. Ken at Vanagain did a nice job, it might be worth it just to buy his vs reinstalling the used one which was cut !! and reconnected, it look like they cut the harness on the donor bus and reconnected ALL those wires - since it was 87, the ecu was behind the "firewall", under the rear seat area. Thanks for posting.
