Prove it sir you said exactly what I said at the beginning I have built harnesses but going behind someone half way through a job is much more work than starting from scratch. I am messaging with one guy for both harnesses. As for that other guy posting saying one hour I don't think so sir you are way too optimistic/unrealistic. I will get this car straight asap. I'm relentless.

100s of man hours? I think not. First off identity witch connectors have been damaged or swapped. lable all conectors with masking tape lables. LOok for missing pins in the cable you think were swapped. Trace those circuits on the diagram. Sounds like an hour or 2 to me.
I'm sorry if you misunderstood the intent of my statement. When I said it would take all of hour or two, I meant to identify what harness you have and if anything you need is missing.
The only problem you have here is you don't know what you have or if anything is missing. I'll make it as easy as I can for you.
5 easy steps to compare 2 wiring harnesses
[*]Print out both pages of electrical manuals[*]disconnect the 3 or 4 plugs[*] Check the presence of each pin and it's wire color[*] If there is a discrepancy make a note of it[*] Move to the next pin position[*] Go back to step 3 and replete until done
I there are like 25-30 pins total, most of witch will be exactly the same.
Heres the plugs that go to the body harness. Dsm on the left Galant on the right Galant has one extra plug as far as I remember. Mine was automatic so it had extra wires for the neutral safety switch on one harness making it bigger. In fact the whole ignition circuit is wired differently on my car than the dsm. I don't remember if this was entirely because it was automatic because the starter switch wiring is different on all Galants. Compare the diagrams, trace the differences. half of the interior stuff comes from the other side of the car and doesn't go through this harness. It's been 18 months since I've looked at it but if I had the manual in front of me I could tell you seconds after I turned to the right page.
If you don't want to make what you have work it may be easier to find the part the car was supposed to have in the first place. Up to you. I built my car because it's a big puzzle and takes time and effort to remove every single piece and put it back together exactly the way I want it. I have parts from at least 4 different types of cars grafted on to mine. Just what I like to do.
The last thing I am is optimistic, but I work through my chaos to make order. So what are you relentless at besides complaining?
