Installing the wiring harness


Now that we have the wiring harness made, let's go install it in the car.

1.) First choose/find a blank location in your center console. Remove it by gently prying at the bottom of the blank with a small flat-blade screwdriver.  It should come out fairly easily.

note 1: If you haven't already, this would be a good time to remove your instrument cluster and the panel above the pedals.)


note 2: if you wish to rearrange your switches so that the trip computer button is closer to the driver's seat, this would also be a good time to do so).


...



2.) Since the trip computer connector is smaller than the switch connector, it'd be easiest to snake the trip computer connector through the switch hole to the instrument cluster. (It's easy enough to use an old wire hanger and gently push it behind the ignition switch towards the center console switches, attach the connector to the wire with some tape and gently pull it through.)


...



3.) Now that you have the wiring harness installed, connect it to your switch and pop it into the center console. Only step left with the wiring is to connect the yellow wire. For this you need to get up into the relay panel (behind/above the panel above the pedals). To the right of the relay/fuses you will see a few different colored wiring connectors, we want to use the black one (closest to the floor of the car).

In my car there were two (2) yellow wires, one going all the way through the back/front of the connector, and one only in the back of the connector.

I chose to use the one which wasn't connected to anything. You will basically want to tap this wire (I didn't have any wire taps at the time, so I used some spade connectors to make it easy to plug the yellow wire back into the black connector should I ever need to).
