HEADLIGHT HARNESS REMOVAL

[speedy123]

Hi
I have a Pontiac Sunfire 2001 and I want to remove the head light harness
I almost have the harness out
I just cant remove the harness from under the battery tray
and is there any other thing holding down the head light harness
to remove it.

thank you

Why are you removing the whole harness?
The known issue is only the section passing the radiator support. Below is copied from a Cavalier with same issue.

Disconnect battery.
Remove radiator cover.
-Remove headlights and turn signals.
-The problem occurs where the wiring runs across the car in front of the radiator. The wires rub against the bumper supports, causing pinholes in the wiring that corrode.
-Unwrap all the wiring that is there. GM does a really insufficient job of protecting the wiring.
-Once you locate the pinholes all you have to do is replace the section of wire that is bad. I personally had 1 on passenger side and 5 on driver side.
-Once you do that just wrap all the wiring in GOOD electrical tape.
-I went a step further and also used plastic wire loom to protect against the wear of the rubbing.
-Then just reattach the wiring and put everything else back together.

Hi
Thank you for your message.
The reason why I want to remove the headlight harness is that
I wanted to swap it with another one from the scrap yard.
The problem is that there are 3 wires broken hanging in the air
and I do not know were they have to be attached to and a
section of one wire needs to be replaced.

There are 2 pink wires and 1 orange wire.
I would like to know where should be the 3 wires attached to,
then I could fix them.

I would need to see a diagram or a picture, to see were the wires go
or how all of the harness wires are put together at the left corner
under the head light.

Thank you.
