same with the positives on the button, can those wires be connected and then one wire extended to the power?

I combined both the ground and power wire on my install.

thanks man. i'm just wondering it is it best to run the ground wires independently to 2 separate grounds......

i think it would be ok to combine the power wires, but the grounds i am skeptical of. not sure why.

^just make it easy and combine the ground wires

Waiting for your results 0720Steve.

is there a gauge wire that would be too small for the wires hooked up to the PBS? the wiring on this connector can't be but an 18 or 20. super small.

too small for the positives, grounds and wire to the relay?

if it needs to be upgraded then this plug thing won't work well, if at all.

i tried tapping the cigarette lighter. but it didn't work. what am i missing?

2- Would this small mod VOID my warranty (Electrical part.. let's say car starts to blow fuses, etc?) I dont know... If it worries you check with the dealer.
3- GOOD JOB. THANKS!

can you please tell me the seller so i can order it on ebay?

good thats what I like to hear, if you use shrink tubes thats even better

joon joon · 01-07-2009, 11:58 AM

yeah solder and use shrink tubes... very rare that i use electrical tape to wrap something up... most of the tape i used was for the loom

joon joon · 01-07-2009, 02:31 PM

im redoing some of the harness i did so i guess ill take pics of that since its not in my car...

joon joon · 01-07-2009, 03:59 PM

here are the pics of some of the harness...
this is the part

this is the yellow ignition wire... i cut it and put spade connectors (yes i know its the not the best thing haha) so that i could connect them to use the key since right now the key wont work to turn the car on, only the button will work... if i put the connectors together then i could use the key and button to start the car...

then 2 of these wires go to the relay and 1 goes to the button and those will be loomed also when i connect them back in the car..

joon joon · 01-09-2009, 01:28 PM

does anyone know how to get the button brighter??

You would have to change the value of the resistor to a lower one (think its 18K-ohms now)or if that doesn't do it, then change the LED.
