Guys let me introduce myself. Im Ron the harness builder for Blackbear. Some of you my know me from GMFullsize as ratt ron. Ive been in the auto electric industry for 17 years and design and develope all the high amp alternators for DB Electrical.
I like would appologize to anyone that has had and issue with the harness, I would also like to note those that have, have had them replaced without hesitation. Let me address each concern one at a time and Ill take care of this head on.
First Length:
Ive built every harness for Blackbear since day one dating back to about 2005 or 2006. I build them in lots of 20-30 at a time to keep them consistent in dimention and quality control upon bench testing before looming them up. Every harness(appox. 800-900) has been built by the same exact length, using the same brand wire everytime EXACTLY the same consistantly.
I think there is some of the confusion as to mounting and I think it has come from people looking how a Nelson harnesses are mounted and installed.
Here is how it was intended to be installed with the current layout. All connections are plenty long enough when installed as intended.
Melting Issues:
There are a few things that will cause this. A bad ground, insufficient low voltage causing resistance, tapping the WRONG green A/C wire, pushing the spade terminal out the backside of the relay terminal barely making connection when pulling a relay, or the possibilty of just a bad relay.
Since my first response, I have made alot of revisions to the harness.
First was doing away with the fuselink and adding sealed fuse holders.
Second Im using nickel plated steel 900* Molex ring terminals at the ground and pos. connections moving away from tinned alum.
Third I have reversed the layout for the harnesss to hang instead of sitting on the relay
Fourth Ive added a ground to reduce resistence.
Fifth was to lengthen the connection leads 4 inches.
The end result:
Candyman, once again I would like to appologize for you troubles and frustration and send you a updated replacement harness. Send me a pm with your address and Ill get one out for you if you want just lmk.
