Wiring harnesses are a fundamental component of modern cars. They act as an important conduit between all the electronic components within a car that control movement, starting, and stopping processes. Power and signal wires are housed inside flexible plastic conduit that runs along a vehicle’s sides, ceiling, and floor. Each wire can experience thousands of door openings/closings which could result… Read More »Corrosion and Transmission Harness Parts
The transmission wiring harness connects the engine and fuse box, with some wires branching off into other components as needed. An improper or broken transmission wiring harness can lead to all manner of electrical problems in a vehicle, from misfires and shifting issues to starting issues and starting failure. Corrosion Corrosion is an inexorable natural process that affects most metals… Read More »How Corrosion Affects Transmission Wiring Parts
Your vehicle’s powertrain and cruise control rely on signals from its transmission speed sensors for functioning optimally. Should they malfunction, its powertrain control module (PCM) will set a diagnostic trouble code and illuminate its Check Engine Light on your dashboard. These sensors play a vital role in shifting, engine calibrations and cruise control functions. If they become defective, your car… Read More »Transmission Sensor Parts
