Making your own wire harness.
I bought wire in 5 colors, red, yellow, blue white and black.
To determine how much wire I needed, I measured with a tape measure where I was going to run the wires, including down thru the kick panels and doors, then added 4 foot. You will need the extra.
I did this to match the wire diagram for later reference.
Draw up a diagram using the colors you used mapping out the colors to the doors.

For the 4-door I layed the wires out and spray painted them with sections of:
  1. Black on a red wire
  2. Black on a yellow wire
  3. Blue on a red wire
  4. Blue on a yellow wire
  5. White on a red wire
  6. White on a yellow wire
  7. Black on a blue wire
  8. White on a black wire
  9. Red on a white wire

For the 2-door I would use:
  1. Black on a yellow wire
  2. Black on a red wire
  3. Blue on a red wire
  4. Black on a blue wire
  5. White on a black wire
  6. Red on a white wire
Then I wrapped the passenger runs together with friction tape.
