Basically..

The BCM won't enable the ignition without receiving a signal from the PCB (electronics) inside the SLU.

If anyone is interested in having this done, I will do the conversion for the cost of parts + shipping and $20 bucks for me. :)

Yes. He's hardwiring the SLU in a functioning fashion, removing any parts that aren't needed and reinstalling for a happy ECU.

The vehicle will not work without some form of the SLU still being intact.

Got the dash out, removed blower and ducting. Pared down the rear hatch harness to include only the conductors for the brake light. Going to begin doing the same for all the other longitudinal (front to rear) harnesses probably tomorrow.

Hate that I'm going to have to remove the crash bar to get anything else else out.

Spohn, were you able to get the crash bar out without taking the doors off? lol

Nice driving

Yes you can. There's three bolts inside the door jam. Two will completely remove and the third will back enough to release but not come out completely due to the door.

Thanks man

Spent 3 nights now working on splitting wiring harnesses. Almost done with the driver's side harness... Then on to the passenger side. It's such miserable work lol

I feel your pain :)

I'm about to start that on my 350. Not looking forward to it.

Really? Did mine in five hours. It's easy. Process of elimination.

I'm not cutting any of the wiring, and it's slow going removing the wrap/insulation when you're trying not to cut any of the wires below it. :)

Was able to completely unplug the passenger side harness. Going to patch in a wire to close the door sensor loop so it won't trigger a door ajar message.


Got the crash bar out, removed all the woven insulation.

Stopping today to get heater hose, going to see about removing the heater core and everything tonight.

Dry ice on Saturday to remove the sound deadening material.

Oh and my wife bought me some Race Ramps to use with the car, so those should be in too. Pretty stoked about those haha.

^ awesome man. I still have some fine cleaning to do on the inside. Dry Ice is so awesome. Still hard to do on the tranny hull.

I see no pictures

Wouldn't have even thought of it if not for you, I'd of been in there with a torch...
