what year harness (there were 3 from 90-93)
what year is the car ?
generally you need to stay close to the year as there were some minor to major changes in wiring harnesses throughout the years.

90+ harness won't work in an older than 90 body, and the 90-93 harness's have differences too.

typically you want to match the donor car to the recipient car year, then everything should work.
