Wow fair enough. I am in the process of getting the b3's valver running correctly, and when I do I will finally experience a good running stock valver.

Rebuilding an oem harness is almost outdated, with more people going mil-spec. MAkes me wonder if their would be a market for aftermarket looms ..

Sorry to derail your thread... anyways, they probably do make a new harness. There really aren't that many wires involved with this particular harness though, so if I were you I'd just remove all the tape on the harness and look at each wire individually and fix whatever is wrong.

If your valver's harness is like mine then their is a lot of work to do. Like re-terminate a bunch of wires cause they corrode and break at the connector, and, re-wrap the loom after you cut it open to check underneath.

Either way finding replacement terminals for a connector plug is proving to be a challenge.

Check this little tool out its a terminal extraction tool for removing pins from electrical connectors. Not sure if it will do the job but i've been doing research and am hopeful.

The terminals are called "Timers" from what i've gathered. They come as "micro", "junior", or "standard". I believe my valver uses micro and junior. Anyway:

Looks like you have done your homework

Look what I found under the edu connector boot wrapped in electrical tape, seven wires spiced into one brown wire
