I've already removed the ABS brake unit and AIR pump.

Should I pull the wires from the harness?

Or, just cut them off in as far as I feel cumfortable?

There's, I'm guessing, about 15-20 lineal feet, I think.

Thanks
Steve

I did the same. Cut them back as far as I could, insulated them, and tucked them into the harness. You do need to be very careful so you don't get a short. I have one which I hope is fixed.

While removing the power window and power door lock wires from the passenger door, I wiggled the harness and suddenly the gauge panel (water temp, oil temp, oil pressure) that was installed by the previous owner, lit up light a Christmas tree. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) Not even close to the passenger door! Drained my battery too.

Not only have I not driven the car yet ... I can't even fire it up now. I think I've got the panel wiring corrected, just need some juice in the battery.
