Also started getting wiring through to the back for camera and some other stuff.
Extra wires for brake trigger to be used for forward facing camera (at a later date), for light under the hard lid, for integrating the hard lid into the central locking, and a spare wire.
This has wiring for a boot release button in the glove box. I’m wondering if I can find pinouts for a boot actuator on the BCM.
I’m doing all that now because it’s shitty to do and I’d rather take extra time now to do it, than do it later.
This is from the rear wheel well. The harness plug is for the factory rear harness when separating the tub from the chassis. I’ll be putting plugs in the same spot or similar spot for the same reason.
The harness grommet is the round thing with the grey tape on the loom.
Looking through from inside with the grommet out. There’s quite a gap between the rear firewall and where the wiring can be seen. It’s hard to get it through and there’s a plastic firewall trim to make it harder still to reach it from the other side.
I’m not a fan of cutting into loom grommets. Would prefer to do a new hole with its own grommet. On these though, that’s tub off, rear panel removed and insulation removed. So that’s a no.
I made a cross shaped slice in it. Got the wires through together. Has convoluted tube on the bit between the grommet and where the new loom comes out.
Once this is done. I can start getting the interior back in and move on the the outside and underside of the car.
Rear drive shaft boot needs doing.
