Wiring harness

Fits:
Porsche 911 - 1965 to 1989
The power supply lead (black-blue) for the dashboard illumination is unfused.
A short in the brass bulb holder can lead to serious damage in your wiring harness. This easy to install inline fuse holder protects your wiring and expensive light switch.
This inline fuse can be positioned at the light switch in between terminal 58A and the black blue wire(s) *
* for 1969 and 1970 models this wire will be black-purple.

Wiring Harnesses – Precision Electrical Connectivity for Porsche Vehicles
Wiring harnesses are the backbone of your Porsche’s electrical system. They connect and deliver power between critical components - from lighting and sensors to engine management and infotainment systems - ensuring everything functions as designed. A properly fitted harness guarantees reliable electrical performance, signal integrity, and safety throughout the vehicle.
At Design911, we supply a wide range of genuine and high-quality wiring harnesses for Porsche models including 911, Boxster, Cayman, Cayenne, Macan, and Panamera. Each harness is meticulously engineered offering precision, reliability, and durability as intended
What Do Wiring Harnesses Do?
A wiring harness is a complex assembly of wires, connectors,
and terminals designed to:
- Transmit
power and data between electrical systems.
- Protect
electrical circuits with insulated, organised routing.
- Simplify
installation and maintenance by combining multiple wires into one
unified assembly.
- Ensure correct communication between sensors, ECUs, lights, and other modules.
In modern Porsches, wiring harnesses play a vital role in enabling advanced technologies — from adaptive lighting and traction control to comfort and entertainment systems.
Why Do Wiring Harnesses Fail?
Even though designed for longevity, wiring harnesses can
degrade or fail due to:
- Heat
exposure or engine vibration causing insulation wear.
- Moisture
ingress or corrosion in connectors and terminals.
- Rodent
damage or physical abrasion from engine movement.
- Electrical
overloads or short circuits damaging internal wiring.
- Previous repairs or poor modifications affecting performance.
Signs of a failing wiring harness include flickering lights, intermittent electrical faults, dashboard warnings, or complete system failure.
Why Replace Faulty Wiring Harnesses?
Replacing a damaged wiring harness restores proper electrical performance, eliminates intermittent issues, and prevents costly damage to control modules or sensors.
Benefits of replacement include:
- Restored power delivery and communication across systems.
- Improved reliability and protection against shorts or fires.
- Elimination of diagnostic faults and warning lights.
- Precision-fit installation with manufacturer-standard components.
Each harness in this range is built using high-grade materials and connectors, ensuring accurate fitment, corrosion resistance, and long-term dependability.
