First I had to take a day off from wiring.......had to break it up so I finally got around to modifying the stock ebrake to mount the hydraulic ebrake cylinder, also I mounted it in a somewhat more normal mounting position, although I could have easily put it back in the stock location. Also I got tired of the ION door handle trim pieces falling on the ground, almost getting crushed in the doors or in general just getting in the way so I fabbed up some brackets to mount them to the doors.......simple but how it reduces frustration while working on the car.
Of course I'm still working on finishing up the wiring and wire by wire it's coming together, power door lock buttons and relays are working, but for some reason there isn't a signal going to the solenoids........probably a missing or blown fuse, least of my worries.
I've passed a huge milestone though, I got the brain working, yes the PCM/BCM are alive and talking!!!!! there are a couple issues probably related to the half dozen ground wires that still aren't connected to the chassis but I'm getting there. Electric power steering is connected and isn't coming up in the warning messages anymore. I've also got the 240 dash somewhat bolted down (couple more brackets and bolts will be required, plus for the first time I've gotten the 240 gauge bezel fitted around the steering column with the ION gauge cluster fitted (really its kinda just jammed in there, custom mounting bracket and filler piece will be created one day) Also got the hazard button and trunk release wired into the 240 trim piece.
Like I said, one wire at a time, still a few to go but the wiring list is getting much shorter!
