Wiring documentation is often overlooked, but it is as important as the physical work we undertake on our wiring harnesses. From the immediate benefits of being organised and less likely to overlook anything in your project to the future use for any troubleshooting component issues or damage, it is worth your time.
In this lesson, we will look at a basic documentation process using simple drawings and a spreadsheet. While there are many software packages out there used for this ranging from free to. cheap subscriptions up to thousands of dollars a year, we believe in keeping it simple for our one-off custom harness documentation and highly recommend you do the same first time around for simplicity. Note, the likes of Google Sheets is free.
We're using a V8 engine swap project for this example, running a MoTeC M170 ECU, which is just 1 of over 40 modules in the Professional Practical Harness Construction Course offered by the High Performance Academy.

Really valuable input. Would take couple of tips from this video definitely, while designing my very first loom "on paper".

Glad it was helpful and hope you enjoy the process!
We do recommend paper and a spreadsheet, but just in case you want to have a nose at some of the options out there any way you might enjoy this: www.hpacademy.com/technical-articles/8-options-for-drawing-wiring-schematicsharnesses-in-motorsport-applications/?
We find that there is a bit of time in setting some of these other options up to the point that they are really more suited to repeat production, which is really only done by those making a living from this work vs those just creating their own one-off for their own project. However! There are always exceptions to any 'rule' eh 😎 - Taz.
