Unhappy HELP! wiringloom inside the car

Hello Guys,

I'm working on a project and my wiringloom inside the car is one hell of a mess! Lots of wires are cut, many connections of different colors and i don't know where some cables have to go. Got couple of extra fuses behind the dash, but i don't know if they will be needed... There have been DVD screens, other ICE and a really bad connected alarm. So maybe a difficult one, but you never know maybe someone can help me


So i wanted to know is there anyone with some quality pics of good electrics on the inside of a ERST? Or with a desent wiringdiagram? I really want to make a good wiringloom again and get out all the rubish connections and not needed wires, so i don't have a car that cuts all the time.

Allready got a other one, but here in the netherlands you don't really get a good 2nd hand loom. All the looms have been cut and changed. So i decided to keep my own and use another loom to take things of that i needed for my loom the fix it. I got everything done except the inside. But that's the worst part...

So i hoped someone could help me with that!

i think they are different and i know there are some guys that make complete new one's, but i think when i have a little bit more knowledge about the electrics that i can fix up this one really good. Because i will need to change things for my new gauges and stuff. So i just need the general connections with the colors and that kind of stuff.

All the "main" loom parts are connected to each other on my loom and lots of it is self done. So i need to know which cables can go and then i need to tidy up everything!

Mine was like this, get a haynes manual (the older purple one) for the mk4. It worked a treat for me, it has the wiring diagrams in the back. You will swear alot, but i rewired my in car loom, cleaned all the plugs up and everything works very very well. All lights are bright, very happy.
