In case anyone is bored, I thought I'd crack open a can of worms. I did a search but didn't really find anything significant specifically dealing with the following question.
Several people have addressed modifying the wiring harness to remove wiring as a way to reduce weight. Several items are specifically addressed as being allowed to be removed either "in their entirety" or "including all associated wiring". (radio, cruise, wipers, washer, etc). No prob.
My question is what other wiring are people removing, and what is the rule allowing it. If your car came with several trim levels, some with lots of electronic goodies, and some without, I can see removing stuff and wiring IF the different trim levels had different harnesses/sub-harnesses installed.
My car's Spec line is for a single trim level that came with all the basic electrics (mirrors, locks, sunroof, etc.). A good example of my question would be the mirrors. I am allowed to remove the side mirrors based on the allowance to use any mirror, but is there anything that allows me to remove the associated wiring (from the harness) since there is no specific allowance to remove the mirror "in its entirety" or "including all associated wiring".?
Be nice and enjoy.
