I know I know I know, really bad Idea, but regadless i did it ran fine of course the check engine light was on but ran fine, the cat was so rusted it wouldnt come out and the gromit for the harness wasnt budinging, by the way all the wires where taped and sealed up, I’m just lookin for thing that could have cause it, and this is the olny shady part of the electrical system, as far as I know, so yeah. ---

Not until you a least learn a bit more about it in general. Find someone that does wiring to do it for you even if you have to pay them. ---
