Wiring help needed

Ouch...I was cutting out a spot of rust in the passenger floor pan rear corner and the wiring harness slipped and hit the cut wheel. So now I have a small problem.
Coming from the front I have a LB, LR, and 3 LW
Coming from the rear I have LB, LR and 1 LW

I need to verify that the 3 LWs from the front splice into the 1 LW from the rear

This is on an 82 z28 turbo
Thanks for the help

So you cut the wiring harness completely in half? Or are there some wires of the harness still connected?

Pictures would help...
Make sure you've downloaded the FSM: XenonS130 - S130 Reference
And it's a 280ZX, not Z28 (Camaro).

I'm still confused... was it not a clean cut? Did wires go flying?
In my mind I'm picturing the cutting wheel making a nice slice... so you'd have 10 wires on the left, 10 wires on the right, with a nice clean slice in the middle... no? Unless you cut right where several wires join (you should still see remnants or it), then you'd just reattach the wires...

Again, post pictures, and have you downloaded the FSM?

That is why I am confused. Clean cut matched up wires and have these not matched. I will send pictures when I get off work

It just glanced the wiring harness cutting 10 wires matched up all except the 5 upfront and the 3 from the rear of the cut??

Yes I have the reference download anew have tried to look for there splice

I appreciate your willingness to help

Looks like you have another cut wire or two down towards the bottom of the picture in the bundle, hard to tell from the picture if it's connected to something or not.

From that picture it doesn't look like they were all hooked together, unless you managed to cut the junction exactly. I would say separate each wire again, and double check the FSM that you are connected right. Doesn't looks like too much of a mess.
