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

The heat shrink with the glue is the only way to go. That stuff rocks. Kevin, your method is much nicer than mine, I may have to steal that.

That's why I like to share. You'd think I used to get paid for this stuff. Not that we cut and tied much (anything) in aircraft. The FAA would go nuts. We usually made new harnesses, but I learned what the "good stuff" was in the process.

Doing it my way, the wire is insulated (by being bent and then covered, run the heat shrink past the bare end of course) and then the glue and large heat shrink makes a nice, moderately water proof, way to finish it off. That's why it's my favorite method.

Steal away.....
