My personal modus operandi [?] is to huck all unnecessary components and
associated wiring as soon as possible (weight) and replace failed portions of
the harness as the need arises. I owned a Corrado, the need appeared a few times
for large portions of the frighteningly complicated wiring.
A TR-6 specialist/autox buddy theorized that all good ideas are
originally
British, engineered by Germans, and perfected by the Japanese; based on this I
believe Mazda has perfected the Prince (Samurai?) of Darkness electrics for use
in RX-7s.
The gist of this being that, IMHO, it's not worth it to replace the
entire
harness when only part of it is failed because there will inevitably be problems
with components unassociated with the original fault. Keep in mind that I am far
from a professional mechanic and none of my repairs are done with originality,
or even aesthetics, in mind.
