Can I cut/remove extra wires from the THAR-ONE-MAZ3 T Harness 20 Pin Connector

0 votes
I just finished an EVO-ONE install on my wife's 2016.5 Mazda CX-9 using the THAR-ONE-MAZ3 T Harness which greatly simplified things. While it seems ovbious I'm still going to ask...for the 20 PIN Connector, the T Harness only uses 5 of them(6 if you include the hood pin), but then you've got 15 (14 if the hood pin is wired) colored wires hanging off it doing nothing/going no where. What other applications specifically for this vehicle would they support ? I'd like to remove them from the connector. As of right now I put electrical tape on the ends of everyone of these wires just to ensure there is no contact under the dash.

My assumption is I can remove these without issue, but if they have some potential purpose I'd keep things as is. Thanks.
