Wiring repairs

Trailer and camper wiring was spliced in to the rear subharness and stuffed up through the firewall grommet. The carpets and foam are in great shape, free of rot and mildew. And the body is free of corrosion.  

I had to tear all this crap out and repair the original wires

Junky splices were used

all the junk removed and wiring repaired. I broke the clip so I secured the harness with 3M trim tape so it won't rattle or move. I plugged the torn grommet with silicone.

I think this was a blinker solenoid for the accessory wiring.  It was screwed in to the body with imperial sheetmetal screws. I took it all out and filled the holes.
