98 obdII swap harness build

Holy cow man that's some really good information thank you for that I've been looking for that answer now for a month now I have to figure out and be sure that I understand what he means by shorting those circuits I am aware of their locations I had originally tried what they're explaining but I only applied a power to it I didn't actually short the circuit

The 2 bus wires (CCD I think?) is an early form of network communication like CANBus in the later cars. It has to have a completed circuit with other modules and resistors and by joining the wires it "crashes" the network.
