Dumb question but do the two harness' somehow connect together to power everything running off the main harness?Just curious because I am using the SR lower harness, and on the positive battery connector it has a plug attatched to it (3 connectors in it). I took a look at my KA lower harness and the battery connection doesn't have this plug attatched. Just wondering if something needs to be plugged into the SR one since I need to chop it off to hook up the positive to a distrobution block.

the sr and ka are uber different harnesses, my sr clip came with abs and hicas, my car has neither so i guess that could account for some of the things, but i have prolly 6 or 7 mateless plugs by the batt and fuse box

Another senseless post by quiksilvia.

Everyone knows that the KA and SR harnesses are TOTALLY different. He is talking about the transmission subharness. You need to use the KA subharness, though I can't help you with your problem without pics, then going and looking at mine. And my chair is entirely too comfortable to do that right now.

This is what I am referring to on the SR lower harness right where it connects to the positive battery terminal.



I am just wondering if something is supposed to plug into that red plug? My KA harness didn't have a plug like that.

Budd why do I have to use the KA harness, my SR one plugged perfectly into everything? I also live in Canada so don't have to worry about changing any of the speed sensors on the transmission.

Tsk Tsk quik. You shouldn't be so mean on the internet. Your naive side is showing. You actually thought I wouldn't know what you were saying by posting back to me in spanish? Even if I couldn't figure it out, I would have still gotten it translated somewhere else.

Sorry robbbby, the idiocy prevalent in this thread took my attention away from the original purpose.

As for your question, my harness does have that plug, and there are two smaller plugs that plug in there, so yes, I do use it. That may be the reason why we need the KA harness, I'm not sure.

I was told to use the speed sensor, the reverse sensor and the neutral sensor off the KA transmission and the KA subharness.

Theres not really much else I can tell you.

I live in America and I speak English. You will have to pardon my lack of fluency in Spanish. If you want to talk that crap, go to Mexico.

/me sits back. I don't see a helpful post here from you. Maybe I started a "problem," but it didn't stem from a helpful post

I'll tell you why. I can't stand misinformation. It wastes time, money and causes lots of headaches. Any time you have ever answered a question correctly, I have not and will not say anything. Unfortunately, I think a situation such as that has yet to appear. I will continue to answer questions correctly, thank you, and you will not see me making posts such as "OMGZ LOLERS I DUN NO DA ANSA 2 YO ? BUT U GOTZ A TITE RYDE LOLOL" which is basically the equivalent of some of your posts.

The part in the picture is actually two pieces. The red plug/battery ring and the thick cable. I never removed the red plug/ring from the car and I suppose it is attached to the fuse box. The thick cable is part of the lower harness. I used the KA harness, but I do not know about the Canada thing. You may want to swap the harness, but leave the SR speed sensor. I think the KA lower harness just will smooth the wiring for the plugs mounted to the side of the fuse box.

Hope this helps.

The SR lower harness plugs into everything perfectly, even the three plugs by the fuse, my question is if something plugs into that positive connection. There is no connector like the one pictured on the KA but it has it on the SR.

What I am trying to get at is does the SR main harness plug into the lower harness whether it be the KA or SR

No the main and lower harness never connect to each other. The two plugs that go in the red thing in the picture come from the fuse box or somewhere elso on the chassis, not the main harness.

Thank you so much. Now I am relocating my battery to the trunk so that red connector on the positive battery cable had to be cut off so I could put that cable in a power distributor block thing. How do I retain it or hook it up now with a setup like this?

I would probably first locate the two connectors that go into the red plug shown in the picture. Then you should be able to cut off the ends and screw them into the dist. block. Note that one of the connectors you are looking for is a lime green color.

Alright, I found these coming out from the fuse box



These are the ones that go into the red thing, now I just have to figure out how to hook that red piece into the power distrobution thing.

On an unrelated note (Sorry for all the questions)

I have these 2 plugs on the SR main harness, just wondering if they plug into anything or are plugs that go into nothing



Thanks

did you have a ka24e or de? it might explain why you didn't have the red connector on the positive bat connector

my 240 has a DE and the red connector that looks exactly like the pic you posted.

The two connectors that you found look correct. I think all the leads go to the battery possitive so you can probably clip the plugs off and wire them to the dist block, but you will need to verify that with an expert member.

Also the plugs in the last pic. The one on the left looks sort of like the A/C clutch trigger. I do not think the one on the right is connected to anything in my car.

I just has a SOHC KA, so ya that might explain it.

VitaminT thanks for all the help, i just cut those connectors off and threw the wires into the power block, got to hear the whine of my new fuel pump and prime the motor with oil.

Thanks again!!!!

Glad I could help. I am still stuck on priming my oil pump. I removed the coil packs and turned the motor over for quite a while and no oil.

Unplug the main plug on the back of the valve cover that connects to the individual coil packs. Pull your injector plugs and/or remove the 10amp fuse for the fuel pump relay and crank away.

As long as you hear your motor cranking it should be working, just make sure it isn't getting and spark or fuel.

I unplugged the coilpacks (individually, not at the back of the motor), but did not know to unplug the injectors. I will try that later today when I get home from work.

To crank without starting simply unplug the CAS. No gas, no spark - crank away!

Hey guys. I got my SR started (with oil presure) Saturday. Runs great. In the process I installed my new Greddy oilpan. I do not know if this had something to do with it or not, but the oil primed up without any problems after removing the spark plugs and injector plugs. I turned it over about 20 seconds before it ran out the squirters for the cam.

About that last pic you posted...... That plug on the left with the white grease looked like the one that went right next to my oil filter on my SR. Also, mine had white grease on it too so that makes me think even more that it goes there. I would guess that it's the oil pressure sensor.

Nope, the oil pressure sensor thing is on the lower harness.
