As I'm adding stock options to my truck I've noticed that it isn't wired with the plugs for anything extra. Little things like glove box light, key ring light, as well as larger things like power windows and locks. I've collected all this but don't want to butcher the harness and end up with a bunch of problems. I want a clean install. Pickups are rare in the junkyards here but there's lots of runners. If I were to find a 1993 runner with all the options I want, will the interior wiring harness swap over?? This would make things much easier and cleaner.

Thanks

 

if your going to go through all the trouble to rip the old harness out just to put another in just for a few wires to run lights and misc things like that ide say just take your time and wire them in urself and save the hassle of ripping the entire dash apart. if you take your time it will be "clean" or atleast could be

 

Green, am I remembering correctly and you have it all apart anyway? If so, yea, the harness swap you said will work. If not, like said above, just slowly and methodically wire all the options in, and you won't have any problems.

 

Yeah the sr5 or dlx dash harness should plug right in. There might be some "odd" splices on the inner firewall, be gentle with them I didn't bother to track them down just noted they were in an odd spot.

IMO "doing it right" requires pulling the dash, otherwise you wind up with stuff snaking thru the dash in wierd places causing wire chaffing and makeing other stuff hard to replace.

Pulling the dash isn't that big of a hassle. Just do it in the right order, Glove box, lower panels, don't forget that one behind the heater controls.

Go slow your first couple times so you don't break anything. Repair or reinforce anything that is showing stress lines while you have it out. My only other advice is to pull the steering shaft cover it gives you a little more room to get the large piece covering the inst' cluster.
