anyways i need some help. notice the 20A yellow fuse next to the black relays. on the box it shows its the music note. i would guess that indicates the radio. that fuse has a red/white wire and a big white wire coming off it. that red/white wire is a few feet long going in threw the fender well into the harness on the A piller. on my factory un toughed dash harness there is no wire mating to the same red/white wire on the fender harness. so i removed it but it just does not make sense to me. any help would be great.
bump back on track.

I was going to move it into the main fuse box as well but if I can remove it all together that will be even better!

Thanks for the advise!

And why do you still have the yellow ABS related fuse still in your fuse box? I am referring to the big yellow one next to the two fan related fuse/relay?? I removed mine. You don't have ABS correct??
The relay is a normally closed relay and the clutch switch is a normally closed switch. When the clutch switch is depressed by the pedal, it opens the circuit and allows the relay to return to the closed position. To eliminate it, you just need to connect the large wires together like the relay does in the normally closed position.

I still have the ABS, although I'm not getting power for it from the fuse box. I just didn't like the idea of the power blade sticking up waiting to short something out so I put the fuse back in.

As for weight, I'm a fat *** at 180 pounds, I could lose 20 and be at the weight that works best for me. I've been working on it though it's gotten noticably harder to lose weight. I guess it's true what they say about your 30s. Damn it.

now what i will do is connect the driver fender harness back into the car and whatever wires in the dash harness that no longer meet to a wire on the driver and passenger harness's i will remove from the dash harness. i sure hope this works.

otherwise ill be buying a new dash and driver fender harness and installing it without touching a thing.
