Ok, so I am having some problems and would like to know what other peoples solutions are. I would like to reuse the key and the accessory outlet. So, here is the issue I ran into.
The key, accessory outlet, and air sensor are all located inside of the air shelf. Which makes all of them very difficult to get to if you ever needed to. In addition, finding a place to mount the air sensor is a little complicated. Also, the wiring has to run from inside of the air shelf to the outside of the shelf in order to plug into the gauge cluster. All of this would be solved if the key and accessory plug were not reused but I like having them. I use a tether but like to be able to just turn off the key instead of pulling the tether all of the time.
I am thinking of cutting a slit into the air shelf, then running the harness outside of the shelf, then plastic weld the shelf back together, and silicone around the holes where the wiring comes out of the shelf. The other option is to try and remake the shelf so that it can accommodate the wiring, key, and accessory plug. That option seems pretty complicated given the contours of the hood and the shelf.
Any thoughts on this?
