Default new front wiring harness results

Installed a new front wiring harness on a 928S4 with great results.

The car starts easier, all electrics performance are faster with engagement of the a/c system very smooth and not the typical large drag on the system.

The stock unreliable volt meter showed an increase in alternator output despite no change to the alt other than the wiring.

The install of the new pliable harness is a reasonable project after the alternator is removed and the electric fans.

For those not familiar the front harness carries power from the starter to the alternator, oil pressure sensor, oil level sensor, ABS system, water temp sensor, intake sensor, a/c power, hot post power and 14 pin connector.

Thanks for the great product Sean

I was amazed at the performance improvement after Sean installed one of his harnesses. Among other things, it felt like I had more horses under the hood.

Pretty much proves how to stabilize the electrical operation of these cars

I thought running a wire from the battery to the voltmeter solved everything.

should add the car is a '88 and the harness removed was the original, stiff and brittle with a few 'repairs'.

Alt. output is 14.3v measured at the hot post.
