Laecaon Posted March 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Package tomorrow! Fedex says 65lbs...Anyways finished up my wiring diagram for my PW/PL. Its divided on the left and right side.On the left you can see the keyless module (security too, but I dont know about any sirens). I didnt include the LED light/shock sensor in the wiring as its an enclosed loop. Notice also the lack of lock/unlock switch. I always found it funny when cars have unlock switches and door lock pulls... On the right, the C1 and C2 are the connectors for the Saturn window switches, so thats why you dont see front switches anywhere. Also the box with a bajillion wires going in and out of it is the window automation, which allows for 1 touch up or down, along with window roll up with locking the car, and roll down the windows with the keyfob. Only on front windows. I think my favorite part is the dome light coming on when I hit the unlock button. And now I am figuring what color I want all the wires, which is obnoxious to do. Window wires will all have to be 14ga, while most of the car will be 16ga. Next step, another diagram showing the layout of the harness in the car (yet to be determined) and where I want any connectors to keep the harness removable for any reason. And I need to figure out a way to pop the hatch... I have an idea after checking out how the Z car guys do it... Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 You should have used Exel/Numbers/Open Office to make the diagram. Would probably be pretty easy to sketch up. Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted March 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 You should have used Exel/Numbers/Open Office to make the diagram. Would probably be pretty easy to sketch up. Thinking Visio. So far I cant find any software I like. And for now, I like doing things by hand. Lets me "run the wires." Before I do the rest of the car I am going to find something, and to make this digital.

Tristin Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 If you want to make it super legit, get the contact info from the guy that did the DQ 510 wiring diagrams. Ask him what he used. Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted March 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 I want it super duper legit. Like take into Kinkos and have them blow it up huge for my garage wall. Why does the name Pablo sound familiar? Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Its Paolo something. Edit: Paolo Musante... just looked it up. Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Ordered. But man my paycheck was lower than expected... how much you at for the year already 40,000.00 you money bag Ho you. Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted March 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 how much you at for the year already 40,000.00 you money bag Ho you. Truth be told, probably 3500. Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted March 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Its Paolo something. Edit: Paolo Musante... just looked it up. Close enough for be to figure it out. Thanks! And since you are adobe master, how would editing a B/W picture go? I have CS4... I already hate that idea. Would be better to just keep in all in one program to keep it easily editable in the future. Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 What do you mean edit a B/W? Are you talking about adding color to a black and white line drawing? Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted March 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Yes. And no, I wouldnt just try to color my hand drawn diagram. I can learn how to use Software super quickly. Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 I was just curious what you were coloring. Im doing some searching now for diagram software and watched a tutorial using Visio; looks nice. Unfortunately for me, Windows only. Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted March 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 I dual boot WIndows / Ubuntu. I hate Ubuntu though, has issues with my wifi. Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 When I was running Linux, I only ran Ubuntu; I loved it. I never had any issues with it. I always recommended it to new Linux users and people who barely used the computer based on its crazy amount of specific need distributions. Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted March 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 I run it on my garage computer, as its snappier (for a 2006 low end desktop) than windows. Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 I've used a lot of distro's.. I recently switched to Linux Mint. It's a fork of Ubuntu. Debian based and pretty sleek. You've got a few choices of window managers you can use as well. Ubuntu and Gnome started getting really ugly. Quote Link to comment
CorAce Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Wow man... I just sat and read your whole thread. You've done a lot of work, I'll have to check it out next time I see you. BTW, did the headlight lenses come in a set of 4? Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 I've used a lot of distro's.. I recently switched to Linux Mint. It's a fork of Ubuntu. Debian based and pretty sleek. You've got a few choices of window managers you can use as well. Ubuntu and Gnome started getting really ugly. Ive since gone solely to Mac and havent looked back. Theres no instance that Ive regretted my decision and Ive never even wanted to dual boot for any reason. I work with Linux and Windows for the Navy and I dont need any of that headache in my personal life. Wow man... I just sat and read your whole thread. You've done a lot of work, I'll have to check it out next time I see you. BTW, did the headlight lenses come in a set of 4? Ellipsoids usually come in pairs, but that doesnt mean you cant buy 4 from someone selling more than one set. Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted March 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Thanks Cory! Which headlights are you referring to? Anyways, none of the lights I bought came in a set of 4... Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Fuck... I came in here to say something and I spaced. I dont even know what Im writing this. Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted March 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Thats ok, but I need to get pics up asap! I dont like having a page go by without visual progress. 1 Quote Link to comment
CorAce Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 The clear lenses... I tried to look them up on eBay but all I found was a set of 4. Quote Link to comment

Laecaon Posted March 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 The clear lenses... I tried to look them up on eBay but all I found was a set of 4. I actually bought new headlights from ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&vxp=mtr&item=330880961190 Then I took my angle grinder and cut the plastic housing right below the glass. Then carefully took the remaining plastic off that was actually directly glued on. And finally to take the glue off (which seems more like silicone) I used a razor blade for the majority, and then a wire wheel on my dremel. If I was to try it again, I might try shoving them in the oven at 400 for like 7-10 minutes. Who knows... Quote Link to comment
Rustina 510 Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Step 6 is asking Eric if I can use his spare front bumper that I have to do the same Approved. But it's still my bumper. I would like to come by this or next weekend to grab up my stuff from your garage and take it to my new place 1 Quote Link to comment
