'79 Bus Needs Relay Wire Refurbished
Posted: Sun May 16, 2010 9:52 pm
When I got my bus, the wiring for the double relay was messed up. Someone had apparently sliced through half the wiring and used crimp-on connectors to repair it. In April 2009, I attempted to fix it better: I removed most of the crimp-on connectors, stripped fresh wire and soldered them, then wrapped them clumsily in a clump of black tape which looks terrible but works.
I'm happy with the repair job, but notice that there is a bad connection somewhere. Slightly moving the plug/relay clump causes intermittent fuel pump operation.
What is the best way to repair this? I mean, besides spending something like $200 for a new FI harness from Kyle automotive specs.

Also, the two wires crimped together, taped & zip tied was the PO's work as well. I can't tell what that goes to, so haven't touched it.
