Wiring harness through the firewall

[shipkiller]

I'm trying to reinstall the wiring harness in my car but I can't make it go through the hole in the firewall.
the connectors just seem to go with weird angle and get stuck behind the god damn blowfan.

Is there any magic trick or something, it is the first time I'm reinstalling a harness in the car but this is sorcery

One at a time.

there is not long enough of wires before the big loom to go one at a time im afraid

do you suggest splicing the loom long enough to go one at a time?

Don't try to splice anything. It can go through without modification.

Put one in through the firewall, feed the connectors one by one until it's stuck. Then go in the cabin and pull it through that way. Little bit at a time. Shouldn't be too hard...

Just dont force it and ruin any wires or connectors.

I always wrapped painters tape around the whole thing so that it would slide through and not snag on anything. Also you have to position each connector at an angle where it can slide through before you tape it.

I use the same tape trick, but with electrical tape.

alright, will try to cover it with something to slide it through. Thanks for the help guys, the "damnit tool" was working overtime today.
