Can only buy
brand-new factory OEM harness from authorised Honda dealer. Otherwise anything else you get will be used and needs just as much fixing as yours… or worse! There is only ONE thing wrong, corroded or broken connector or wire. You MUST find error
before trying to fix, otherwise you’re going to introduce additional errors into system and make things worse.
Headlights, dash and taillight don’t go through kill-switch (that’s only EFI system). So you’ve been troubleshooting completely wrong circuit. Before embarking on this journey, draw map to trace flow of electricity from beginning to end:
- battery volts = ???, this is standard control measurement that everything else will be compared to
- +pos battery cable, in one end, out other
- starter-solenoid 4-wire plug
- red wire, in one end, out other
- ignition switch, post photo of underside of switch
- etc.

Fill in every missing piece in between. Once you’ve plotted your map, I’ll show you how to navigate it to find and fix exact problem. This is 5 minute repair.
Also post photos of all these locations. Any non-factory work will need to be restored back to factory OEM wiring specs. DO NOT attempt any kind of wiring repair unless you can follow this manual and do this quality of work. Otherwise, things can get worse.

Start of most problems is Honda specifies low-end wiring components such as bare-brass terminals in unsealed connectors and relays that corrode over time. Especially bad in NE weather with salted roads. So if you meet just minimum OEM level quality of work, be prepared to repeat this repair in 10–15yrs.
Best to
improve on Honda’s low specs and upgrade component specs whenever you repair wiring. Use tin-coated terminals and marine/mil-spec silicone-insulated tinned fine-stranded wiring. Now you’ve got wiring that’ll last 50yrs.
Also repair rear taillight and winker wiring. Undo hack job and restore proper Sumitomo HC050 female & male connectors on harness and lights.
DO NOT hack up factory harness to connect incompatible turn-signal lights!!! No hillbilly hacking of wires, twisting them together and covering with electrical tape!!! Instead, convert generic aftermarket lights to use correct Sumitomo connectors like original lights. Do it properly with...

BTW, how did you fix fuel-pump relay? What colour wire connected where? Does it prime properly for 3-sec. or does it run fulltime?
