I tapped into the wires at the BCM that run to the steering wheel stalks for controlling the fog light. I used this DIY that Spearfish wrote up. It worked pefectly and was pretty easy. :tup:

that's cool. werd is my Z did NOT come pre-wired so i just ran new wires. also with the steering-lock issue id rather not tamper with the BCM at least for the time being. :)

So i guess that all of the 09s didn't come pre-wired for it? Or is your car special? :icon17:

I did nothing with my steering lock challenged Z again today. waiting, waiting, waiting...

So, a few photo friends and I got up at o'dark thirty to shoot predawn and dawn shots at the Tower Bridge.

So this may be a dumb question so forgive me if it is. Is there an easy way to tell if one's Z is pre-wired or not?

Also, I have one last set of parts sitting on my "Parts that I bought but have not gotten around to installing yet" shelf. They are the Nissan OEM rear fog light and the Motorsports wiring harness with switch. I am hesitaing for two reasons.

First, it looks like there is a significant amount of interior work that needs to occur. Second, have I mentioned that my steering lock mechanism is dead and I am waiting for the part, which will be another two weeks. I mentioned that, right? I think I did.

Mr.onzedge- I looked everywhere under the rear bumper area and between the bumper cover and chassis looking for this harness. I also looked under the trunkliner since I already had it all off. No wires I could find on mine. :) it is some work but if you haven't done already, I recommend doing the rear view camera while you have the trunk liner off..or even the dynamat for the trunk floor. :D

I wired up my switch to the center console using a oem looking rocker switch and fed power from the front socket (which I completely removed).

As for the steering lock yes, that is a headache. 3 RevC's failed already that we know of so my replacement could also fail. Yay. :icon17:
