RobPhoboS Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Sorry - but dear lord what a pain in the butt ! This guy has lots of 350z specific videos, and a bunch of audio ones. https://www.youtube.com/user/AnthonyJ350/featured But I don't think there is anything that I've stumbled across dealing with what you posted. I'm happy to tackle mechanical stuff, not wiring - too much spaghetti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Looks like someone has cut all the wires and connectors off to me, but it's been a while since I got behind there for a proper look. I'd say that's going to need you to source the proper connectors, figure out which wire is which, and then reattach them all. Not a fun job by any means.

coldel Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I can tell you which one is the aerial cable Aside from that, why on earth would someone do this? Maybe time to get a new head unit too whilst you are at it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I might have the connectors your missing on an old wiring loom in the Zed Shed - if that would help 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 (edited) You is a lucky man This is a JDM loom AFAIK This is a UK GT spec AFAIK - I think the 3rd wire is for steering controls now the smaller plug on the UK loom is broken but that's the same as the one from the JDM also the larger plug on the UK loom has been butchered a bit could be recovered but it's the same as the big plug from the JDM so between the 2 you should have everything you need...... well add a wiring diagram some solder and a few hours work PM me your Address I'll stick them in a jiffy bag mate Edited January 26, 2017 by Keyser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotzman Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) Looking at your first picture it looks like the JDM loom is the one for you - no steering controls on your Zed? , Received today thanks, also received my Harness adapter for the head unit im putting in, ill pop down the car shortly and count the wires in the car, if there is more or less then ill discconect the pins on the plugs as the Harness adapter i bought was meant to just plug into the adapters then into my HU which allowed me still use the Bose system, would have been a 2 min job... I now have 2 options, the first would be the easiest and thats to put the pins back in ( I checked when removed some tape to see if the wires had been cut but the pins are all still attached) into the original order on the plug, then plug into my harness adapter, but what pins go where on the original plug and surely it depends on the original Clarion unit... ill have a look at the wiring and see if the wiring on the plugs sort of match the colour of wiring on the car.... ill post the updates shortly...

Got it all working, put back the trim, admired my work then found the sat nav gps receiver sitting at the side of me.... but that ok cos im gonna wire in the DVR and rear reverse camera... Thanks again for all your help and you Blackpudding and Haggis is still here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
