brew into a 2nd gen... so close
Well here it is. I have a 94 brew into a 2nd gen. I'm using all of the 3rd gen wires in the front end. The issue arises when I get to the back end. I'm having problems mating the 3rd to the 2nd for the tail lights and fuel pump. Everything else is done except for the brakes and no one needs brakes on a seven anyway. Especially while it's sitting. Can anyone post a link to anyone who's wired this before or will I need to sit and go through the 129 page wiring diagram?

Actually... there isn't much info about 13B... REW swaps on here besides: Don't do it. And I 100% concur. I wouldn't have done it if I knew, but now that we have that cleared up, all I need is some info on what wires on the 3rd gen mate with the 2nd gen for the tail lights and fuel pump. Other than that the car is done. I'll just go back out to the garage with my wiring diagram and start plugging away I guess.

Gotcha. That's what I thought. I was thinking a 94 brew.... like a 94 bear, or wine, or something. ![Smilie](https://www.rx7club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Are you trying to hook your 13B REW to an FC rearend? or just trying to figure out how to wire the fuel pump / tail lights?
I am pretty certain that the tail lights aren't in anyway tied to the motor, other then power from the alternator / battery. Also, the fuel pump, I think is on a relay.... turn the key to the on position, and the pump is on. At least, that is how mine works. I think there maybe something where the voltage is stepped down? Don't remember if that was on this forum or another. haha.
So, if it is fuel pump wiring, I would guess, though maybe incorrect, that if you hook it to a relay that is IGN ON switched, it should be good.

lol what the ****....i know its too late now, but what made you rip your body harness out and use the 3rd gen...that makes no sense. (Im doing the swap too, much easier not touching the body harness lol)
Anyways, just listen to those guys. Get an FC and FD electrical manual and start piecing it together.
Good luck man, any pics?

why didn't you figure this out BEFORE you ripped your car apart? to get that FC body harness out you would have had to tear the car apart completely and probably destroy whatever's left of the interior.
