I'm not a big fan of wiring. So I've been leaving a few projects on the "to do later" list because they were mostly electrical in nature. Yesterday I finally had to tear into the dash/instrument cluster in order to complete another project anyway, so I finally got around attending to the problems.

Whew! Hot day in the sun doing contortions to get into/under/around the steering column and such.

I'm still not done, as of today, but once I get things re-assembled, I will have repaired several questionable ground wires, re-routed some wires in the engine bay to make them look neater, stay cleaner, and generally be better-protected, fixed the oil pressure gauge in the dash, tried (and failed) to fix the lights on the AC controls (need parts), hooked up the switch for my rear locker and air compressor, and fixed the turbo indicator bulbs in the dash cluster. I also (hopefully) fixed some rattles in the instrument area while I was there.

Doesn't sound like much, I admit, but I'm pleased with the results (so far).
