('93 DA9 GS) Headlight/Accessory wiring harness issues

So… The headlight harnesses in my brother’s (user Hostility) DA9 were cut, chopped, screwed and rewired with huge Alpine speaker wire. Also, one of the foglights was wired directly to the other. Now, the passenger side headlight and fog do not work…
I would like to COMPLETELY replace the full engine harness, as well as the headlight/accessory harness, but I need help with where to start. I THINK I have traced where the driver side headlight harness connects to (near the brake booster), but I can’t really see where the passenger side harness is, which gives me the feeling it may not be a detachable harness.

ALSO: The ABS harness has been messed with, I can’t figure out the proper way to hook it back up. There’s a bunch of pink connectors, but I’m not sure how to reconnect it, or if all of the components are there.

THEN: The radiator fan has been somehow rewired (via Alpine) to a toggle switch in place of the cruise control switch beside the sunroof switch, BUT it is actually wired into the cruise control switch harness. Uh…It’s literally freezing outside, fan probably should’nt be always running.

ADDITIONALLY: The power steering has been “removed” and it’s hoses and a module have been all chopped up, and it’s basically dangling under the alternator (But I think it may actually be part of the ABS).

I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction to fix my brother’s car. I am currently using it to get back and forth to work, and I don’t want my brother to have his pride and joy deterioration.

I’ve tried searching for the harnesses in question, but all I can seem to find are the normal engine harnesses and the “conversion” harnesses for the “jdm 1-piece” headlights.

The headlight wiring is not part of a separate harness, its part of the “main” harness. The main harness runs from headlight to taillight, so replacing it means you need to completely strip the entire car.

The engine harness can be replaced with the engine in the car but its a pain. What is wrong with the engine harness? From your description it sounds like only the main harness has been hacked.

the wires have literally been cut up and rewired, and not very well. (all of the wiring in the car has been)

I overhauled the whole main wire harness I have the same problems except my car is ls and not a gs I am thinking about trying to track down someone with expertise in wiring tucking and pic his brains about paying him to redo my whole harness for now what I have going on in my car is that the temp guage spikes when I hit the brakes my engine light is on all the time with with the key out of the ignition I have the oil light on too with the key out the ignition very dimly on as well as the check engine on very dimly I can’t pull a code car cranks pgm-fi relay doesn’t click 2m i am going to hunt down and find out why it doesn’t power on headlights and turn signals don’t work as well
