These instructions appear courtesy of the guy that did my install (Benny).

1. hook up the bottom pin of the asr switch directly to ground.
2. hook up middle pin to the asr relay
3. hook up the top pin to the illumination circuit from the rear dome light switch

Shanta,

Where did you end up having your switch mounted?

Pics?

Nice Shanta ... Glen and I are doing the same.

We ordered our relays and should be here in a week.

Target Acquired...

Bryan Harter · #10 11-11-2003, 09:21 AM

Connections Defined...

Note: when putting things back together connect bottom screws, then front screws and finally the bracket at the back....that is slotted and needs to be done last.

Bryan Harter · #12 11-11-2003, 09:24 AM

Holes in this bracket are slotted....

Ran the relay wire into the engine from the cabin. Mounted the relay with a ziptie as I didn't find a good place to mount it with screws. The switch is wired for illumination....Thanks to Shanta!
I mounted it in the fader switch position.

Now, if I only had a driver's seat....

Bergwerks, FGS module is going in next.

I have used Bryan 's instructions which gave me the confidence to start, but I have ran into a problem, and would appreciate some help. I can not find a lever on the wiring harness connector behind the CAN. Can someone tell me how to get the wiring connector off? There are some small screws on the track that the connectors are fasten too, but I don't see how that will help in sliding the connector toward center of the car and removing it. So close but yet so far from being done. Thanks for any suggestions, my wife is wanting be to quit and start on a kitchen project, HELP Dairel

I think you need to pull the screws.
The connector on my car has a lever that makes it very easy to connect/disconnect.
