How bad is this A/C wire harness? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**chev-obsession** · 03-06-2020, 01:48 AM

Hey guys, I’m new to the air conditioning game and bought all the parts from a guy to add to my truck when I do the ls swap. Now I’m to that point to start installing stuff I’m looking at the A/C parts, everything is there and complete. As I look closer at the wiring harness I see that it has a few ends that are cut, a couple wires may have been jerry rigged and looks to be missing the second light socket for the ac control panel (unless I’m supposed to use the regular ole heater harness in conjunction with the ac controls)

My question(s).... am I better off starting with a new harness or can this be repaired?

Seriously, any help or input is much appreciated!!!

I have a complete original harness for sale. Complete with grommet that goes into inner box. Ground wire by blower motor has a different ring terminal that’s not factory and just need to add your existing brown wire from dash harness into it.

Throw that #$%^er in the trash

I would not run that harness in my truck.(Daily driver) Too much risk of possible shorting for my comfort. If cash is short you could reuse the plastic ends with new Packard terminals and new wire and make your own new harness. That or a new harness would be my first choice. A good used one will be hard to locate due to the blower control wiring was kind of light duty from the factory, so most of them will be in similar condition to the one you have.
