Yellow tape on subie harness

[Roy]

All the wire looms wrapped in Yellow tape are Air Bag circuits Correct?

[matteo92065]

Yes.
And also seat belt stuff.

The one exception in my 2002 was teh hazard light switch had yellow tape around it, I believe.

I don't think it transposed to 2003, I did not have yellow tape on the hazards.

Second Question about these circuits, Can they all be removed without effecting the operation of the computer?

[Pearldrummer7]

Airbag, yes. Roy what year is your harness? There's a really good write up on 06's and I have an okay one started on the 02's that I will someday make pretty.

Roy, take a look at Larry's guide to dieting the wire harness. I followed it and cut away at least 20 lbs of unneeded wire/connectors/wrapping:

It was also extremely helpful on figuring out where to start.

Thanks for the link. That is a lot of good info. Thanks Larry for the write-up.
This Subie wiring makes the mustang donors for the roadsters look like simple circuits.
Oh my donor is a 2007 WRX
I have it stripped out up to the dash. I started in the back and I am working forward.

Oh man, the "old" Subarus are so much easier. The wiring for my 2012 is a nightmare...

Thanks Larry for the write-up.

You're welcome. Someday I should finish it. Maybe if I have a bad weather day at the beach next week I'll work on it.
