As some of you know I purchased an EZ-Wiring harness for my car.

I bought the 21-circuit setup and was glad I did.

Here are some things I learned.

1 – It is not easy and if you can’t read a wiring diagram you should not do this.

2 – You must save all of your old harness and connections. I used the original connections and attached them to the new harness wires. This helped keep the shrink tubing to a minimum. I used a dremel tool to slit the crimped connection, soldered the harness wire to the old connector and slipped it into the AMC plastic connector shield.

3 – You MUST, MUST have a wiring diagram for your year of car.

4 – As someone mentioned in another thread, your car came with an ammeter not a voltmeter.

5 – The after market outfits do not cater to AMC. AMC mixed and matched the Big 3 stuff so you must do a bit of detective work and throw in some logical thinking to get things working.

6 – Be innovative and don’t be afraid to deviate from the instructions. I used the Cruise Control circuit to run my defroster.

7 - The NSS is kicking my butt but as soon as I figure out how to wire it I will let you know.

8 – It was worth it but if I had to do it over I would probably buy a reproduction harness if I had the option.
