I haven't been under the wrapper in a Digifant harness but on the Bay harness all of the white wires have a #number on them.. so you have to match up the numbers.

else you'll need to completely strip the casing off the harness and use a PINout wiring diagram to rebuild the wire routing from the ECU plug to the respective gadget. your Bentley should have a wiring diagram with ECU pin connections numbered.

The rear wiring harness got melted as the shroud heated up to burn temperature whilst laying on the metal above the muffler. All the wires had to be cut. I see the yellow and brown wires, easy to splice but the 14 white wires seem to not have any way to distinguish one from another.

Before installing another EFI harness I'd like to find out if anyone has ever tried repairing a similar disaster and if they can advise me.
