Dear colleague, I did not tell you that it was too much, I do not know the price at which they are normally sold and if it is true that there are not many. I told you it was too much FOR ME, it's not the same. Later I have to pay the shipping to Spain and suppose that it works, because you obviously and as you say you cannot guarantee it because it is not a new piece. I know that it is not your problem that I live in Spain and if I could stop by your house to pick it up and see it, it would probably be a reasonable price, but unfortunately it is not. Therefore, I thank you for the answers and your offer, but I only said that it is too expensive for me. I copy verbatim the answer that I have given you.

"500 is too expensive for me. As you say, you cannot guarantee that it is perfect because it is 35 years old ... Could you lower the price a bit?
Thanks, David"

I do have a complete parts M1009 but the price will be the same. I have the rear harness for a pickup. At this point I think it may be wise to figure out if you need everything complete or just parts. I have a few harnesses that I use for parts and connections. Sometimes it makes more sense to repair what you have vs replacing everything. Just a little sound advice at this point. Check out what you have and make sure of the route you want to go. Repairing what you have may be a great less expensive option.

Disconnect the fuse box at the bulkhead connection and look into cutting and replacing the burnt circuits with in line fuses. It works and beats the pants off of changing an entire wiring harness. The 30 amp light circuit/fuse can be replaced with a circuit breaker. No vehicle should blow the headlamp fuse at 60 mph. Been there and done that early on in my CUCV years. After I figured it out I kept my eye on loose corroded fuses. Good Luck.

Agreed, It certainly does beat the pants off redoing an entire harness, i thought about what you suggested initially and may do that to get me up and going for plow season. I have this nagging trait of making things the way it was supposed to be and improve from there. I am just wanting to undo the terrible hack job someone has done and restore at least some of the trucks factory functionality and well.... Dignity. Ill have to take some pictures of the fancy wiring tricks i have discovered and some of the other "Undoings" im up against. Ill post those the "what have you done to your cucv" thread.

Thank you, I did that on mine, disassemble, clean and repair, but this is from a friend and has gone through too many hands. I believe and so I have told him, that the best option is to change at least the front ( lights) and panel with fuses
Thank you!!

welder guy: FYI, if you check FB Mkt or craigslist there's a guy across the river from Kingston that parts CUCVs. I've gotten stuff from him in the past!
