Body Harness

[Camaro_SLP]

Quick question,,

Is there any difference in the Body Harness between a Camaro and TA? Both the same years..

I would think they would be the same,,but I just need to make sure.

Thanks.

do you meen the wire harness??

I would imagine they are a littttttle bit different..

for things like the power antenna.. the pop up lights.. ect ect..

but they are probably pretty similar..

[Camaro_SLP]

Pop up lights...****..that's an interesting point.

Yes I'm talking about the wiring harness,,but the body harness as opposed to the engine harness.

[AllTheGoodNamesAreGone]

yeah.. I am sure there are a few little differences like that..

unfortunatly i cant really help beyond that.. but i would imagine they have a few other differences that are beaing overlooked..

don't swap the body harnesses... save yourself the trouble.

The body harness is made to control the body, not the engine. It it control the body. [img]smile.gif[/img]

lol

In a perfect world I wouldn't need to change the body harness.

Would it be more of a pain then to mate a TA Body harness into a Camaro? Is it possible to do with little complication?

It's not worth the time to attempt.. ;)

Humbug!

This wiring is starting to get to me. I should just send the harnesses to speartech and tell them to make it happen. But I believe they only do plug and play with the engine harness..

Sounds like I'll just have to find a Camaro Body harness instead of TA and go from there.. [img]smile.gif[/img]

what is wrong with your current body harness.

I really don't understand why people swap out body harnesses.. body harnesses don't control the engine, they control things like head lights, radio, doors, hatch, lights, etc. etc.

The only reason places recomend you swap otu the body harness is because older harnesses like ours don't have the same provissions for EVAP.

Ok...here's my reasoning I'm swapping out the Body harness.

And the answer is...

LS1 Gauge cluster!

I bought a whole new dash assembly just so I can fit the new gauge cluster. I don't like the 94 gauges (I have the 150 mph one installed right now). I also heard there would be many many problems with wiring to that gauge cluster..having everything work. And, my current cluster doesn't have the digital odometer/tripometer, so I'm not sure how that would be affected either.

I believe your 97 V6 cluster is a lot different than mine,,so maybe you didn't have many problems. Keep in mind, I have a 94.

My guess is that you'll need 2 sets of detailed wiring diagrams w/color codes to do some cross-referencing. One diagram for your stock v6 3.4L 1994 Camaro and the other wiring diagram for whichever year Camaro the 'Ls1 gauge cluster' came out of. The diagram for the 'Ls1 gauge cluster-Camoro' should tell you how/where the wires, for each individual gauge, tap into in order for each gauge to function. Would prob be easier to do than replacing the entire 'body harness.'

ohh man.. the hell with that.. too much work for it IMO..

regardless good luck..

[Magnus]

I'd just swap in a 97 digital cluster in. They are probably same pinouts.

You could have gone with 97 LT1 cluster and probably saved yourself all that time.

I'll look back at you all when I'm done rewiring the entire car and laugh! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Keith, one question for you. I don't know everything about HPTuners and what you guys do...do you just sell programmers, or can you do custom PCM programming by sending it in? I'm getting ready to send my PCM to Ed Wright to have VATS taken out, along with the governor, speedo/tach adjustments for my gears, and possibly for an aftermarket cam. Do you offer that service, or do you just sell your products?

[AllTheGoodNamesAreGone]

I am pretty sure that keith is only seling the software and not doing mail order tunes..

HOWEVER! one of our board sponcers TSP (texas speed) is, or will soon be doing it..
