My wife bought my son's '03 XB9S, and we are having several issues. It would not engage the starter unless turning left. I tore into the wiring harness, could not identify the problem, fixed a black wire that had been previously fixed (poorly), and now it no longer has the problem. I am reasonably sure I did not fix anything, just shifted wires around. Now the clutch switch is behaving the same way, works when turned left and in-gear start is attempted, won't work straight. I can chase that, but I have the feeling pretty soon I will have hacked up most of the wires in the harness with these failures. Could it be related to the original problem (same wire, different place)? Should I just replace the harness? What is the BadWeb cost? Is there a bulletin on this? How did the design change, if at all, and would a new harness inherit these changes? The last thing I want is to be traveling with my wife and then she is stranded in the middle of nowhere. |

Broke down and parted with 300 smackers for the harness. A little tedious to install but not all THAT bad. |
