Whats going on....

Basically i recently got my 2nd S2000 and it was in okay shape. The aftermarket radio would go on and off all the time. I removed it and saw the OEM harness was rapped beyond repair i spent time on it and got it all okay. I recently swapped radios again and when i installed the new one i guess it was just one too many times removing it. Basically what are my options?

I cant just replace the harness that would mean the whole dash harness?
I cant find a replacement connector and its not easy to find at a junkyard because its part of a harness.

should i just hardwire the oem harness cut off my damaged connector and hardwire it to my pioneer radio harness? i have 2 pioneer radios so ill just keep that brand with that style connector.

any info would be appreciated thanks alot

 

if I understand you correctly, you want a harness like this, usually called a
"reverse harness" - it's designed to plug into an OEM radio.

 

no no i already have one of those so.
i always buy those harness so i dont have to cut my factory harness but the jerk-off who had my car previously went to town on my harness.
im pretty sure i either need to hardwire and cut off my oem connector or with a miracle find an oem connector laying around with some wire length attached

 

I think he's saying the female side of the harness is jacked up. (Not the harness that connects to the radio, the one that's connected to the car wiring)

I've got no idea. Maybe someone else will.

 

the one I posted replaces the connector that's attached to the car,
and mates to the adapter harness that you already have. You cut off the
old connector, and splice the wires to the wires on this connector.

 

my apologies.

 

I'll add one more thing - aftermarket Honda reverse harnesses (like the
one I posted) probably don't have the two s2000-specific wires for the dash
and mute switches. It should be possible to move a couple wires/pins
from the old mangled connector to the appropriate spots in the new one.

 

im talking about the actual harness thats connected to my car wiring.

 

that's what this harness does. read the description.
