Help wire harness rubbing tire!!

[Mr240dude]

Alright long story short I recently installed coilovers on my s13 and now that it's lowered I've been rubbing my wire harness for maybe a week. Fortunately it doesn't seem terrible, maybe one or 2 wires are showing metal. I am worried that I have done some damage or am I being paranoid? My car is showing the abs light, battery light and brake light which started yesterday. I don't know if that's coincidence that my brake switch was stuck draining my battery a few days ago which was fixed by a shop or does it happen to be the wires that were rubbed are throwing misleading codes to my car? I don't want to ramble on and on but I just want assurance that I competent shop would be able to relocate the harness and maybe solder those 2 or 3 damaged wires. Also when I accelerate I hear a weird humming noise with the radio on, not sure again if this is because the wire harness was slightly damaged, has any one of you experienced this or worse? Help me out!

Any feedback appreciated!

Yea rubbing through those harnesses cause all kinds of weird drama.

A shop is going to tell you to raise the car and send you home.

If they don't, how do you know they know what they're doing? We've been fixing / tucking S13 passenger-side harnesses for over a decade, so why not fix it yourself?

Pull the harness down into the wheelwell and strip off the loom / tape, find the damaged wires, trim out the damaged parts, add new wire, reconnect, solder, and you're done.

Re-wrap it, and then follow the wire tuck article to finish the job.

I just cut the zip ties that were holding it, unbolted my fender, and stuck the harness up between the gap, its a tight fit! and then zip tied it to its new location! also, may want to hammer up the metal fold inside the fender well, it will scrub your tires to death when turning sharply and sliding or going around a turn! if you need some help with the process let me know, i cant get pm's yet though

Thanks I will certainly try this with a friend. Yeah I mean a skinnier tire too seems to rub when I make sharp turns. Currently running 205/55/r16 would lets say 195/55/r16 be a size smaller? Height seems ok wouldn't want fender gap.

that should fix it regardless, i have 17's with a pretty good size tire... good luck!
