The body control module wiring harness cluster is a well-known problem on these 2004 to 2006 Pontiac GTOs, and even if your GTO is fine right now, you should perform this preventative maintenance to make sure it stays fine. The wires gradually get rubbed through, causing weird electrical issues that tend to be different every time. Between that and the limited working space in there, it’s FAR better to do this as preventative maintenance instead of as an electrical repair.

Do you remember what size conduit you used for this job?
Just used your video to check and protect the wiring in my 2005 GTO. I also had the black tape on what looks like the same wires after taking off the wrap, so this appears to be the way the factory made them. I bought my GTO with 1,100 miles on it from the original owner, so this was the first time it has been opened. There were no wires damaged after 40K miles, but my interior lights do not work and blow the fuse so I'm still looking for what is causing that. Thanks for your video!
I covered the top of the metal with rubber hose split in the middle
I had electrical tape on my x3 #10 pin which is the radio on signal, and I also have issues with my radio stating on but not sure what I could change under the electrical tape. They basically soldered another wire into it which I don’t know if it was factory or not
2004 gto. Just check my wiring harness. The factory tape was rubbed through and a few wires were starting to rub through but never got to the copper. My harness does have 2 wire farther up the harness that have a poor electric tape job on them i think its factory lol.
What was the problem
I have problem with the gauges stops working randomly
i've worked in a plant, and the electrical tape / solder repair looks pretty typical
Thanks for all your gto content very helpful!!!
Steve , we never had a wiring harness go bad and Monday afternoon we will be posting a video called " A HOT GTO WITH TOM DRIVING AT NIGHT " He talks in the video , but cant type very well so I will reply to any comments. I will post a thumbnail of our purple side markers and if I get a few comments you will see the " SUPER BOWL SLUT " who is doing the typing. LOVE KATHY❤
My gto has been sitting for a year because I couldn't find out what was wrong with it. The windows wouldn't roll up or down, airbag light, stuck in limp mode, and at one point I was completely Locked out of the car and had to break in because doors are electronically controlled. I have my car completely torn apart trying to chase down these issues, now I'm not completely sure if my bcm is fried. For the love of God do this preventative maintenance or you will be stuck with an oversized paperweight. I have considered throwing in the towel and installing a Holley EFI system.
Cars Simplified , our GTO never had a wiring harness go bad. In about an hour I will be posting a video called " A COOL GTO WITH TOM DRIVING SEXY PATTI AROUND " Hope you watch it and make a comment. Love Kathy❤
Cars Simplified, Great video, but our GTO never had a wiring harness go bad. Now tomorrow afternoon my Hubby Tom will be posting a video called " A COOL GTO WITH TOM DRIVING DURING THE DAY " Tom does talk in this video , but he can't type very well so hopefully you will comment and I will be the one to reply. Our GTO is a 2006 with only a little over 11, 000 miles on it. Merry Xmas. Love Kathy
