I have put in a loom from a MY03 Boxer and had to change the ABS pump. The DME is not getting any power and PIWIS 2 can not communicate with DME.

The airbags are off the car. The cluster comes up with the a lightning circuit symbol failure sign.

Any pointers appreciated.

Would you be able to provide some additional background? I don’t understand what “water ingress issues” are (it’s wire and some connectors), nor what “joined up” means.

When you say “wiring loom”, what, specifically, did you replace?

Was everything working before you did so?

Thanks.

It had water coming in from a failed seal around the cabin filter. The carpets were soaked. The wiring loom had the common grounds joined up together and some other wires. The ignition circuit was dead. I cleaned up the 86 s bridge and got it working but did'nt have confidence in the loom without repair or replacement. I had a second hand alarm module and had it reprogrammed to the car ecu with two keys.

The wiring loom I have replaced goes from the front of the car, through the interior and then through to the rear.

It was bought as a non runner project.
