Why Rewire?

Does Your Wiring Harness Look Like This?

It IS time to replace your wiring!  Here’s why.

THE PROBLEM: Let’s face it—no automobile manufacturer ever designed a wiring harness to last 40-70 years. In fact, your vehicle’s original wiring was only meant to last about 10-15 years before starting to deteriorate, and there is ample documentation to support this claim.

Even if your wiring “looks good,” it probably isn’t. Your wiring consists of copper wire covered with plastic (mostly PVC) insulation, which is porous. Over time, contaminants like oxygen, moisture, and airborne pollutants penetrate the insulation and attack the wire, leading to a condition called oxidation. There is no practical way to completely seal off the circulation of oxygen and moisture between the individual wire strands. Once oxidized, the internal resistance of the wire increases substantially. The same oxidation and corrosion affect the wire’s metal terminals over time, further increasing the internal resistance of your wiring harness. This is detrimental to any electrical system.

Even if you find a New Old Stock (N.O.S.) wiring harness, the wire strands have likely deteriorated over time just by sitting in a bag on a shelf. For this reason, purchasing an N.O.S. harness is not a wise decision.

If your wire has advanced to the next stage of deterioration by being brittle and cracking (especially evident in an engine compartment where high heat and moisture are constant), it is in IMMEDIATE need of replacement. At this stage, a short circuit to ground is imminent. In a worst case scenario, it can cause a fire.  Not a good day if your vehicle is stored in your garage!

THE SOLUTION: Get rid of your vehicle’s electrical problems, or potential problems, by replacing all your wiring with new wiring harnesses. But, before you buy a wiring harness for your show car, restoration, or weekend driver, ask yourself, “Is it a Lectric Limited wiring harness?
