Seems our model 86 Saab 900T is notorious for having wiring harness issues (85-87), especially in the engine compartment. The isulation gets brittle and cracks/disintegrates leaving sections of harness with exposed conductors and many resulting shorts. I've discovered many such spots on the wife's car.
Replacement harnesses are not easy to come by and a lot of discussion I've seen centers around doing a DIY replacement/rewire of the damaged sections of harness. Can anyone recommend a wire (insulation type, thickness, gauge) that would be suitable to use in our application and a wire supplier? I'm not concerned about correct color-coding. We just need the car to live a little while longer. Thanks! |
