Harness removal - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I'm pulling the KA main engine harness out of an auto 240SX. It's all disconnected in the engine bay. But something is holding on in the interior (I got all the obvious stuff disconnected like the dash plug, ECU plug etc.) Is there some kind of clips holding it in place behind the dash as well that I need to disconnect? If there is I don't see any. Any help or things I may have forgotten (or don't know are there) would be great. Thanks.

dash & ecu are all there are i think. I just removed mine this weekend, it is tough to pull through the hole, but i didn't find any clips.

I pulled one not too long ago. IIRC, there is a clip attached to the harness between the dash and the firewall. I would get a flashlight and check under the dash before you go yanking on it.

i took the blower motor out from underneath of the the dash...it made it a lot easier to see what i was doing and easier to work under the dash, cause there is a decent amount of connectors that need unplugged under there.

me and my friends said fuck it and just pushed the harness up and broke it off the clip on our cars

Be gentle, this isn't sex!

Theres a dashclip, ECU clip, and the harness itself if ziptied to, IIRC, the dashbrace? But i could be wrong.
