Re: My New Custom Wheel with Paddle shift
Progress report:
I had already installed the paddles last week. I have one hour of work into it this morning and I have removed the air bag and pluged in the harness in the steering wheel which is a pieve of cake. Air bag back on.
I have completed the work under the hood which is cut one yellow wire and crimp on two connectors and then clamp a wire tap onto the other wire. These two wires are on the D connector which is the only plug on the K 40 relay with two wires. the K40 relay sits next to the ECU and has fuses on it. the harness is fished into the foot well area through a large hole at the bottom back of the black box which contains the ECU, K40 relay and BCM. This was not hard at all.
I have also completed the work in the foot well area which is to mount the module and connect the supplied harness. Again easy to do. If you pull back the carpeting in the passenger footwell you will see a large piece of styrofoam. You remove this and then remove the three 10m nuts that hold the large metal plate on. Lift a little and then let it fall towards the seat. Not hard at all.
I am down to the last part which is the shifter. this looks like more fun. I am pretty sure all the stuff I have done so far is the easy part. Will update latter and I have been taking pictures. I am now off to Lowes because I am running short on zip ties and need small squares of thin Mounting foam.
