Hey everyone, well im still riding around with on dim headlight, im gettin nervous now about the "LAW" so ive been trying to fix it,...went to a local mechanic and he said that the wiring isnt grounding properly, so i looked at the wiring and seemed fine, until i ran into a burnt signal wire..it was like cut or something in half, so my signal is blinking extremely fast and the headlight is dim, so i need to find a new harness A.S.A.P....ive searched and searched and couldnt find nothing, maybe im not looking right, so please I NEED ALL THE HELP I CAN GET!!


Thanks so much

 

Toyota manufactures their cars in a way that your replaceing the harness would involve..

The entire under hood harness ( very expensive) it probably includes all wires to engine, head lights, turn singnals, alarm.

Or the entire interior harness , under seats, air bags under dash.

My suggestions would be to splice the wire needed back together , solder,heatshrink, and tape.

It would be very involved , take a lot of time, money and knowledge to replace the harness. Just splice it back if you have both ends right there.

 

Find out why it burned first,or it will burn again.

 

Seems he may have that covered..." i ran into a burnt signal wire..it was like cut or something in half"

 

WOW, i did not know that...thanks for the info..ive been on Google for 2 1/2 hours searching and searching, but i guess now i know why! haha..umm i guess im going to have to do the whole splice and put both ends back together..just worried that its gonna be to short when i try to put the bulb back INTO the headlight..should i maybe buy some extra wiring? just add that to it

 

Sounds good , just make sure to do 1 wire at a time to avoid cunfusion ( or a wrong wire that would cause more problems)

 

you can always add a leangth of wire if it seems too short to reach the headlights..
i would also check the fuses and make sure that there are no dirty grounds, loose connections in the system..

first question to ask yourself is "how did the wire get burnt / cut in the first place?"

 

Don't know about Toyota but Nissan offers just the headlight harness pigtails to fix just that part instead of replacing the ENTIRE engine harness.
Maybe you should call Toyota and ask about possible pigtails for our xBs...good luck!
