standalone chassis wiring

Hahaha I feel ya, I was an Av. Elect. Tech in the Navy, I love the lil' engineering projects too. Problem is, you've got wiper timers/door timers/blinker timers, then you have to decide how much actual wire you're going to keep from the harness itself - this leads you into deciding how good of notes you're going to take in case you have to troubleshoot something down the line (I mean, you're doing it for long term, right?). Its just a huge headache, just to be back to stock functionality.

yeah... when I was reading deeply into the fsm, I found basically only one timing control system I need, which was connected to both the blinker and windshield wipers. the door timers I do not need because I am just going to take everything out of the doors anyway, except the locks. no wires running over there.

yes, I am doing this for long term reliability. the reason I am doing this is because the previous owner of the car hacked the living hell out of the harness and it has tons of electrical demons. my girlfriend's stock civic is the major mode of transport, and I honestly don't care about a lot of amenities. the only places I go are school, work and mma training. work and mma, I have a bike... so really who cares?

I CAN afford downtime on the car, so it's all good.

it does get a little confusing, tho, tracing all of the wires. some of the needed relays are interconnected with the unneeded ones. It's very interesting, but very tedious.
