You're going to trace each of those wires to their connection to your OEM wiring. At that point, usually with those crappy installs they use t-taps which makes it very easy. Just pull the connector out and you can leave the t-tap or pull it off and tape the wire tightly by stretching the electric tape. If it's soldered then it's the same idea.

Now the only connection that will cause a problem is the starter wire (thick black/white wire on the ignition harness). They cut it in half and run it through that relay. You need to cut the relay connections and put the starter wire back together. 10 gauge wire is difficult to solder even for someone that does it for a living. I suggest you go to an electronics store and get an uninsulated 10 butt connector. Then go to Home Depot and get some Channel Lock 909s. Those are the only good crimpers out there. They're a little "underpowered" for doing 10 gauge crimps, but they'll do. And you don't want to drop $250 on some heavy gauge crimpers. Tape up the butt connector and you're all set.

- Sat Mar 27, 2010 4:53 am #183962 to make it easier then the last post which is entirely correct. the blue switch in pic 2 comes out, the relays on page 3, the plugs on page 5,9,10 all come out and the two fuses on page 6. All the wires coming from these items come out up to where the meet the next wire in the car. Do yourself a favor since your not electronics savy and disconnect the battery before cutting wires in case you cut 2 at the same time that should not contact eachother.
