Just finished making this harness and connecting the relays to use with my door popping solenoids. What doya think?

Looks good.

I have to get poppers yet because i didn't buy a kit. I just have the door actuactors at this point. And one missing door handle.

You are shaving the door handles?

Its already shaved. I had the poppers installed a while ago before i knew how to propperly wire. I come back from my first semester at suny morrisville (Going for Automitive Engineering technology) and cannot believe the hack job I once did. I bought wires, inline fuses and redid everything the right way. I heat shrinked everything because about a year ago, my door popped open down the highway and scared the **** out me as i was turning off. Also, those relays are better too and i spliced into the main 10ga power wire under the steering wheel the "right way." Even added a few connectors in case I wanted to route anything else from there in the future.

You are making progress...but to be honest...the "right" way is to solder it first My dad is an electrical engineer and I have seen that a proper connection is the way to go.

I am not criticizing as I once thought that twisting the wires together and using electrical tape was good...

All part of the learning curve.

In fact, you don't even see the actual professionals solder that much...except with the OCC guys.

I know this and that is what I did... Any splices were solders and heat shrinked. I use the good heat shrink too. The kind that has a 3:1 shrink rate and uzes out a nice adhesive around the wire to keep moisture out. The quick connect terminals were installed with heat shrink as well to prevent moisture from coming in. I don't trust those rubber shells. Heat shrinks also protects the connections from bending and twisting at its weak spot. So dont worry, learning curve was learned last semester.

BTW, electrical tape was only used to hold the harness togther. I ran out of zip ties.

Look more closely. I know it is blurry, but you can still tell. All connections were wired like this.
