Wiring Patch harness

The hardest thing to obtain is the patch harness.

If you can't source a used one from a wreckers, let me know. I can provide a part number for a HSV harness that can be used to make the necessary patch harness, cost less than $100.

Thanks for the help guys.

this seems a little bit over my head.

i think that i will leave it for now.

I have just done this one myself. Its very much a worthwhile mod to do, and of course now I know how to do it, I can make the harness up easily. If you get the parts, I can modify the wiring harness for you if you're in Brisbane, or failing that I can offer help. It's really not difficult at all when you know how

You'll need:

1 x Instrument cluster wiring harness from a VR/VS Calais or Stato

1 x Level 3 Instrument Cluster from VR/VS. VN/VP one is similar but wiring is different so you can only use VR/VS one.

1 x Trip computer button module.

I got most of that from my local wreckers for about $200, and for $12 from eBay I got the trip computer buttons. This mod is definitely worth the effort and can be completed in a lazy half a day from start to finish if you know the tricks

[vracclaim]

OK give me a few days to make up a diagram... markovr gets 100% of the credit for working this out, but it took me a while to understand his diagram so I will make my own up for you.
