Re: Wiring harness

I used EZ-wiring and yes the wires are already connected but the wires should be long enough and their tech support is great.

Re: Wiring harness

I didn't like E-Z Wire cause your limited where and how you run your wires and there pre-terminated also i like to run the wires as i wish.I tried E-Z wire and ripped it out and gave it to a guy at work who is building a flattie powered bucket.For the money and tech help i like American Auto Wire.IMO

Re: Wiring harness

My (new) EZ Wiring horror story. Last weekend my radiator fan quit working. I pulled out the tester and found it wasn't getting power, so I went to the fuse block to check the fuse. Fuse is good (30 amp, original from EZ). So I pulled out the relay. Yep... burnt up. It's a 25 amp relay powering a 30 amp fan... duh! I had never looked at the ratings of the relays... shame on me. But also shame on EZ for using a 25 amp relay in a 30 amp fused circuit!! The fuse block is also damaged (melted plastic) a little at the relay plug, but it still works (I swapped the horn relay into the fan plug so I could go for a drive). I look at the relay to get a part number to replace it, no ID at all other than 12v/25a. I take it to Advance and of course, they can't look it up without a year/make/model of car. I go to my favorite O'Rielly where I know they have a couple of knowledgeable car guys. They look at it and say they've never seen one like it. They go back in their stock room to look at their stock of relays and come back 10 minutes later and say they can't find a match. So Monday morning I call EZ and get a recorded message saying they're busy, call back later. So I e-mail them asking for a part number for the relay for their standard 12-circuit kit. I get a response that afternoon from RSouza asking which one of their kits it's from. I tell him again it's their standard 12-circuit kit. Tuesday mid-morning he answers he needs a model number for the kit. I answer I threw the box away three years ago and don't know the number. I send him a digital photo of the fuse block and the relay. He says he'll have to "cross-reference" it and get back to me. That was last Tuesday afternoon. I haven't heard from him since, including two unanswered e-mails from me on Thursday and Friday.

Is it just me, or is it reasonable to expect a company to readily give you a part number for a replacement of a component of their product? I cannot say I am a fan of EZ Wiring.

Actually I like the fact the wires are pre-terminated at the fuse box.. as for how they ran the wires... I simply undid some of the wire bundles that ran fore and aft and regrouped the bundles as necessary for that project... worked fined...

I think buying from EZ-Wiring or Dolphin gauges is much like buying from a power seller on eBay... they have and sell a pretty good product for an attractive price and they sell lots of them... most of the time all is good... if not... then not really much customer support... sorry to hear your having a rough go of it... when you get the part #, post it will ya? I'm going to write that one down!

Re: Wiring harness

I like the fact that if you screw up and short out a wire or break the wire you can just unscrew it and put another one one it but different strokes.
