One last wiring project...

[blwnbyu]

this car used more relays than any other car i have ever done...

door trigger, trunk trigger, extra ignition circuit, the trunk pop, the gas door pop (only one of the last two was actually high current, but when doing it i couldn't remember which so i just put one on both)

then i used two relays for my HID headlights and foglights



then when i was doing my LED conversion, i drilled a set of holes in the fixture to xpoxy another LED bulb in there (UV) controlled off of a switch for a set of cruising lights. and the type of i wanted to use was a momentary push button (real small) so i found out how to make a pulse switch have a latching effect and could be reset when the ignition is turned off from the12 volt.com that uses 4 relays and a diode or two.



thank god for Directed micro relays (8616), other wise i would have to make a whole other fuse box for the car...lol

Thankfully, I didn't need any relays for the trunk release, or parking lights, or extra ignition.

My compustar lets you switch the positive parking light output to trunk release, and already had a negative parking light output It's those little things that I love.

My DroneMobile came in, but I haven't put it in yet. Still gotta go pick that up and program my POC's with their OP500.. Then I'll be set.


The most annoying part of everything was tearing back into things.. It's not hard to make the install look great the first time around, but after going back and digging through harnesses and pulling more wires out, adding more relays etc, it was really hard to keep it as pretty as it was, but I think I did a good job still. The brain is nice and easily accessible through the drivers side access panel

you think your tired, now imagine your LS gets wrecked out and you have to start over on a brand new LS!!!! and on top of that there are a bunch of tiny little changes that need to be adjusted for...

LOL.. Don't say that!!! Next car will be German

Well, I have one German car. I don't find it any more difficult to work on than the LS, and I can get parts for it.

I think the LS is a good gateway drug to owning a German Car lol..


I'll post video of the operation when it's all done.. It's gonna be suhweeeeet

Maybe. I'm still thinking Jaguar the next time around.

I reused the holes from my amp rack for the relays.

Only thing left to do is some programming next week
