Going through this now with my TA. Mostly wiring things, harnesses cut and spliced with wires that go no where, or one color spliced with another color grrrrrr it’s crazy, but stuff you’d never know about until you take things apart. We also had some crazy finds under the car once up on the lift. A car we bought that we thought just needed a few things, is winding up to be a lot more, that we feel has issues that could affect the safety’s integrity so we’re checking everything now.

You're supposed to change colors, you wouldn't know there's a splice otherwise.

I spent this whole week fixing bad wiring on 3 cars. One car had a set of electric VDO gauges for oil,water temp, voltage, gas gauge. Plus the tachometer.
All wired incorrect. Ground going to the terminal for signal wire instead of from sender. No switched 12v.
The tachometer had the signal wire from the distributor going to where the ground wire should be. And 12v going to where the signal wire should be on the tachometer.
The instructions for these gauges is readily available.
The wiring for the AC system was another nightmare.
