it would help if you got the plug that goes into the back of the switchblock. it will make it easier to connect the new wires to your existing plug

You will need the 4th plug off a calais VN-88, and by the way Stocky, my VN is a 1990 model Series I and the wiring diagram was close, but not the same, sorry to dissapoint your theory.

read it again genius. my "theory" was that maybe the SERIES TWO had a different loom. jesus christ

an VN-88, berlinas wont have the right wiring, so just go look in a calais for one

yeah with that diagram not all vp's r the same and not all the vn switches are the same and with the vp u also need to rewire the circut board if u want your interior light delay to work as its circuts are where the trip computer buttons go. some of the extra wiring on the clusters may also not be needed to be done.

VN Exec to Calais
LOL! Don't get angry stocky, its a good theory, but its actually the other way around, Holden first started using the one loom in the VN early series for both Exec and Calais, apparantly, but stopped doing so shortly after, as it cut costs down due to the higher sales of the executive models. So you would be very hard to find any VN's execs that have all the extra calais plugs and stuff, thats all..... And what has Jesus Christ have to do with this...?
