Forward Lamp harness install
Just got my front lamp harness today from UPS. Got home around 545, ate a quick bite to eat and went out to the garage. Took me about 1 1/2 hrs to replace the harness. Very straight forward and easy. Hardest part was getting the harness through the small hole on the side of the rad support.
Lamp harness and engine harness are now in. Half day of work tomorrow. ZZ4 is going to be in tomorrow, hook everything up by Saturday and then it's time to bring her to life.

What most don't realize is that the factory harness's are plug and play... It's very hard to install one wrong because the connectors are all different.
Same with the dash main... people worry about doing this job but all the connectors are different. something GM did right for sure.

.. I remember when I did my dash harness, I just pulled away EVERYTHING and started on a clean surface, the dr. rebuild wiring diagram was a big help, too.

Hamad-
My guys in the shop used one the other day... They seem to like them.
I don't much care for them but I think its because I've got so many years under my belt with the GM schematics. We use Trace Schematics which basically is a Jpg file of the schematic with each circuit isolated.
I've been posting some of these up on the site under the tech section. Here is one we did the other day.
