    I was able to complete the wiring repair and put the car back together this afternoon (and then took her out for a short drive afterwards).

    The most time-consuming part (for today, anyway) was getting the mis-matched wires figured out. My first test resulted in the side mirror switch operating the passenger window. That was a little awkward...

    In the end, I had only 1 blown fuse (mirrors). Once I got the wiring correct, I popped in a new #5 fuse and everything worked perfectly. It may be just my imagination, but the windows seem to move faster than they did before.

    And I think the horsepower increased by at least 5%... :D:D

    348's are so much fun to drive! I love this car! :)

    Thanks for all the help and advice! If anyone needs/wants to know the harness mapping (94 spider with 23-pin connector), let me know. I have it in a Word doc and would be happy to email it or post it here.

    You could deliberately wire everything up to different switches... if anyone ever tries to steal your Ferrari, they won't know what to do with it. :p

    Glad you got it all sorted and are enjoying taking her out again. :D

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    I don't think you are imagining this - I believe Miltonian mentioned that the windows will be slightly faster once you repair this. Either that, or they could have been slower due to the fact the wires had a weak connection while on the brink of tearing/ripping apart.


    LMAO!!!

    I don't have a wiring diagram, but I might still have the pin map that I made for the door jamb connector. The wire colors on either side weren't a straightforward match. I'm out of town today, but will check my files and post it later.

    Due to the greenish color that is copper corrosion. Water would be the culprit. I have a 355. But If I had a 348 I would apply some silicone grease to those connectors to water proof them. It's fixable.

    I couldn't find the pin map that I created. Sorry - it was 18 months ago... :/

    Hey Michael, this is a really old thread. Robin (see post #55) resurrected it a few days ago inquiring about a wiring diagram for the door harness. I actually fixed my harness back then by bypassing that jamb connector altogether (hard-wired it). And you're right - it was a fairly easy fix.
