Re: Wiring birds nest
Looks like you've made good progress on a lot of crap that shouldn't be there. The nice part about doing it yourself is you get really familiar with what should go where. If you ever have to diagnose a fault, you'll be in a better position to correctly identify the issue.

Re: Wiring birds nest
I used to tell my wiring guy "I can't wire a whole truck/car". He asked me on the last job, "you can run one wire can't you?". to which I answered "Yes". He said "well, run one wire. when you get done with that one wire, run one more". Looked at like this approach it's not that hard.
You might want to look at the "Mad Electrical" web site. He has "tech tips" as well as sells kits to make the under hood wiring much better and if I can understand it, anybody can. Do or don't it's up to you, just thought it might point you in the right direction.

Re: Wiring birds nest
That's the trick. Take 1 wire at a time. It seems very overwhelming at some times, but you got this.
