Thanks
Better than the Suzuki one? was that you? What's it for if not?



fe350chev

I am not sold on that colour on the commodore, yeah the suzuki colour is still a favourite or I could just make it original colours but do some front end mods. Still deciding what the heck to do. Lately I have liked some FE's in light yellowy colours so I dunno what to do.

I thought it was charcoal in colour until I parked it beside my Charcoal Grand Cherokee, it looks like it has blue through it in comparison.

Been working on the wiring tonight so working out what wires do what, cheat sheet courtesy of BrettF gave me half the story... I had to convert the wiring from the wiper motor to what colour wire it changed into at the VT harness and switch. Same thing done for the indicators although just marking them out at this stage as those will run up the steering column. As with the Cruise Control, but if I permanently enable it I will only need the set and accel buttons as the brake module will still disengage it. There is no VT instrument cluster so I would never see the green "active" light anyway.

That's the same wiper switch as I now have. I need to choose a colour soon.

Just had a look at that link  :-\ DUDE  ??? What am I supposed to be getting excited about  :D. A VS Commodore is as inspiring as a comatosed emo  :o. Is it the j motor. Gee they are long. Just kidding... Sort of.

Dunno fe350 not to inspire... I was um drunk again and stumbled on it and thought it was really random



fe350chev

You should always be drunk when you do wiring  :D :D :D, it helps make things work and u can't do much worse than being sober.

Thanks Craig, Not feeling overwhelmed yet....

I do need to figure out though if I join the Pink and the Grey/Green wires together if the result would mean the Cruise control would be permanently selected on?



JB

Give Glenn M a call and see if be can burn you a disc with the diagrams on.

Already have all diagrams JB as seen in the background but want to override the cruise on off to permanently enable... Won't need the on switch then. Reducing the number of switches reqiur

Well to add to the wiring nightmare my real aircon unit arrived. Of the three models mini, compact and super I chose the compact.... They sent super. It is the same dimensions just 4" longer. It barely fits but it is so much more powerful than a compac model.

Speaking of goodies my tailshaft arrived. Never seen one this colour and never asked for it but I really like it. 70mm tube is a larger diameter than bommodore too



Old_Mt_Isa_Boy

Is the air con electric or vacuum? Will you have enough room for a Glovebox? Tailshaft does look cool in the grey.

Electric mate. Glovebox..... Watch this space, there is a plan. Actually a few pages back you can see it with stereo on left and buttons to the right. May have to move some though
