E0GLSport
CEG'er
My 98 gl sport 2.5 mtx still runs fine, but the harness is getting pretty nasty, and I don't think it will survive too many more movements whilst repairing other things before something stops working. I've been searching and trying to gather as much info as possible, but I have some questions.
1. I've heard there is actually 3 harnesses, which makes sense from what I've seen, are there any of the 3 that just swap over to E1 from E0 without pinout changes?
2. Are the E1 harnesses REALLY better? Because I know I've seen 99+ V6 contours at the junkyard with cracked wiring, not as bad, but still there.
3. Are some of the sensor connectors different, if so, which sensors do I need to replace.
4. I think I've heard there is a PATS difference between E0 and E1, does wiring just need to be added?
What else do I need to know? I'm not shy when it comes to electronics / wiring, but those with experience actually doing this would be greatly appreciated for any help they can provide.
My contour has 148K on it, but the engine and trans, paint and body, and interior are fantastic. Has a new clutch, alternator, water pump, various sensors, gaskets everywhere under the hood, E0 svt front rotors / calipers, grill, and exhaust. I really want to keep it. I also have an '03 focus, so I can go without the 'tour for a few days / weeks if necessary while I take my time with this.
