So I bought a 1986 Ford ranger that needed the body harness completely rebuilt . As I'm ripping out the old harness I noticed something that looks like a wire nut with about 6 wires inside of it. Has anyone seen anything like this? Was this Normal for fords back then ? Or was this the result of someone not knowing what the heck they where doing? Please let me know what you guys think about it ! I can't even wrap my head around why it was done like this or how to repair this. Should I just run new wire and do as they did? Open to all suggestions!
 
TL;DR
1986 Ford ranger , bad wire harness, possible wire nut, need help

Hi,looks like an add-on .... i would collect all of them together,in a more appropriate,fixed terminal.

....i would try to get a 3.5 litre 10.5 : 1 V8,if it hasn't got one....it was the only engine they ever fitted,worth risking across a desert crossing ?
