No I did not cut anything off, I bought the car this way and I am unbolting all the wiring in the engine bay pulling it through the firewall and then I will reinstall the wiring so it is easier and safer to work around, sawzall makes jagged edges, look at the photo. I spent most of the day working at reverse engineering the dash to make sure all wires and looms came apart with no damage, you can see in the photo where the wires are cut and the same for the right side.

No, you need the missing harness to the back to try to splice back in. That is your only hope.

If there is no fuse panel under the dash it has to be in the rear. The 2 computers 1 is the ecm 1 is the bcm. Youll have a hard time pulling a full rear harness at the junk yard. Best bet is to have them pull it. And splice it in with shrink rap connectors. If u remove any harnesses u need to put masking tap on the wireing and write what componit it goes to. Allways label gl

Well the car is on its way to the salvage yard as it was going to be to much work and scrap is at $200. A ton and cash is good.

I posted a photo of it at the top of the post, when I was told it was a bit on the impossible side that told me to scrap it.
