I have decided to remove VATS (if you know what I mean) and use a hidden kill switch to override start. I have re wired the VT ignition to the FC barrel so the car starts with an FC key so I don't need to find another spot for the VT key barrel and the central lock still works from the VT key fob. So now the key works and the headlight switch works with one pull = lights / Parkers and second pull = high beam. The indicators work and now the dash lights are always on.  Continuing the wiring I have put in a relay to activate the cruise control when the car starts! (Big thanks to a mate of mine for suggesting the method) This negates the need for a switch as it is always on. So for cruise control I only need one switch now to "set" and that's the lot for cruise!  Although I am redoing it all to run off the FC cluster I still have the VT cluster connected to show I am doing it right and every time I hit the ignition the cruise light comes on  |

I'm just wondering ,will you have a bank of lights somewhere else on the dash. I guess if you wire everything to the fc cluster you can run an aftermarket tacho. Gen ,oil ,temp,fuel,high beam and indicators are taken care of so the only concerns I can see is the engine warning light and maybe consider a engine fan light [this would be more useful in conjunction with a temp. gauge].When I wired v6 vs in my Vauxhall I used the vs speedo temp and fuel gauge. Indicators went to aftermarket hotrod, screw to the column unit ,illumination stayed but all the other dash lights are separate. As I am soon to commence wiring my latest project I watch your progress closely so please don't skip over anything. I'm taking notes and your posts are greatly appreciated.

Thats the Fuel pump laying on its side on the ground  I'm just wondering ,will you have a bank of lights somewhere else on the dash.

You know me HSV 001 - I have something in the works and it'll blow your mind. Can't come clean yet (like the power window motors) as its a custom production and in testing but it does have something to do with tuning (being able to tune to a 98 or 95 fuel or tuning for larger injectors  for example) and will cover everything you stated and a shitload more!! I'm getting to know VT Wiring inside out including what BCM's can and can't do to specific cars. I was lucky in the fact the SS had power windows and can run them as well as the cruise auto on as most can't. Flick me a PM with the model V6 etc and I can point you in the right direction. |

BTW NES your progress reports are looking good.
I didn't go to the level you have but I can openly admit I found the wiring the most challenging of the project.
Well done and keep the updates coming.
Cheers

No. After weeks of searching I have come up with these.  They have the motor and wires mounted from one end and the rail is quite straight and perfect for straight glass FC. This is my back back installed, only one tek screw on the rail as I was looking at how well it went up and down. Will use a more robust system to finish but these motors are well suited I think.  And my manual window winder becomes a switch   With my door loom installed the central locks work  The front wires run along the door hinge and don't pinch. There is a connector in there too so I can remove the door if required (good for when I get round to cleaning up the paint in this area)  |

I have had a little digital box made up to show what gear its in and a cycle menu to show speed, RPM, fuel flow, engine temp etc using the turn knob (which can also dim the display) The display is 40mm x 70mm in size and reads all the OBD information from the vehicle. I have also had an engine check light wire made to run off it so it'll tell me if something is about to blow up!! The plan is to have it on a stiff hinge that'll swing up out of the way under the dash so I can't see it (to look original) but then swing it down when I need it. As a bonus it also acts as a data logger so I can log the information during driving then upload it to the laptop. I can see the information it pulls up and then reprogram the car to smooth out things like fuel spikes or flat spots or even tune it to say a 98 octane fuel. This can be done after a new exhaust system or something of that nature too. This is the screen when I start the car  The 0 in the shifter position is because it is hooked up to the laptop...  |
