Hi. New to the site. My son recently bought this 97 Accord. Last night he hit a pot hole and the wiring bundle running in the front driver's wheel well came loose and was shredded by the tire because the wheel well lining is missing.

We were able to get most of the wires matched back up, with a few exceptions. Most importantly, neither fan by the radiator will will cool now, and the A/C will not come on, either. The wires I still need to find homes for are the thicker gauge black/yellow, green/blue, and 2 red wires with double-gray markings.

From the wiring diagrams I have been able to find, it looks like the thick black/yellow is ignition power, but I can't figure out where it should run to. The other wires, I am clueless on.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

here is a good site with a full helms manual for 5th gen accords, i downloaded all of it for easy access, lol, im missing the wells also

There are a few options to fix this.

Probably the easiest is to get the wire harness and the splash shield from a junkyard. I like U-Pull-It places.

The other option is to figure out what is not working properly, then find out the wire colors based on the shop manual referenced above. Then trace from the component to the break in the wire harness.

You can also download that a one manual from the Common DIY Threads stickied at the top of this forum.

 

Thanks for the link. I was able to splice enough back to get him running for now. I will definitely need to replace the wiring harness soon.

Thanks again for the advice and the links. Both were very useful.
