I'm trying to install a new dome light wiring harness, from YnZ in my T5 60 coupe. So far the project has been painless since the new harness fits just right. But when I got to the dome light harness I've hit a roadblock. It seems short. I can't get it to reach both lights. Has anybody confronted this problem? Incorrect path/routing is probably the likely cause.
Went back and inspected the old harness and the light connections were attached to, what I deem (incorrectly?), should be the behind-dash connection.
This is the seventh year after I took everything apart and I now realize I didn't take enough pictures and notes. Memory and dismantling notes are not helping any !
Thanks!

Re: dome light wiring harness
Does the YnZ harness match the old one in terms of length of each wire?
FYI, Part number is 644-612-035-07 and can be ordered from Porsche.

Re: dome light wiring harness
Ed did you get it in? If not I am again able to get to the forum. Short to drivers side dome light,long across front of windshield area then to passengers side dome light. feed remaining through the drivers side A pillar then over to light hole in center of dash.

Re: dome light wiring harness
Doug, thanks! Yesterday I tried it and it fit perfectly. My problem was that I was routing down through the dash and not through the windshield! Thanks again!!

Re: dome light wiring harness
Did it last year and struggled until I figured it out after several different tries and routings. Lucky for you I still remember.
