I would like to get a helms manual for my car. I need to figure out the differences between my cars wiring harness and the GSR. Although everywhere(autozone, advanced auto parts, and napa auto) seem to ahve Hanes manuals. Will this be good? I've never heard of them before? Or should I order the helms online? If so, which one? Theres a service manual and an electrical troubleshooting one?

 

To give you an example of how a Haynes manual works this is taken right out of mine:

Fuel tank removal and installation:

Steps 1-10 tell you how to take it out
11: Remove the tank from the vehicle
12: Installation is the reverse of removal


Wiring diagrams are in black and white and don't explain troubleshooting at all. They just tell you to take it to a dealer. Then, the dealer uses the Helms to fix your car.

Get the Helms, you won't be disapointed. I would just get the regular one(service manual), if you are fairly good at mechanical things. The service manual does a pretty good job with electrical diagrams, and I believe most of them are in color. If you are not good with that sort of stuff, get both of them.

 

Basically what I am looking for is I diagram of each cars wiring harnesses. Wires and what they are, etc. I can't get that from the haynes?

 

Also will i have to get one for each car???

 

What kind of car do you have? If it's a 96-00 civic and you are looking for stuff for a 94-00 Integra, I can scan those pages in my Haynes and send it to you.

 

You da man!!! I have a 99 civic ex and dropping a 99 b18c into it. I want to compare the harnesses side by side. And need the pin numbers etc. for the iab whcih i know I have to add already. Just crossin my t's and dotting my i's before teh swap begins. I'll PM you with my e-mail if you could send those to me. I t would be greatly appreciated!!!

 

Thanks alot!!! It looks as if I only need to add one wire to my harness in order to do the swap. Its the IAB(Intake Air Bypass control) wire. Just an FYI. Also theres 5 wires going to a trasmission control module, but I have no idea what that is?
