The painless kit that needs to be installed, so many wires.
I am also running a hotwireauto harness, so I need to work out the marriage of what I won’t use from the painless. The hotwireauto states you must use there harness to start the vehicle. It appears to have a starter relay built in which I assume makes the old style starter relay obsolete. I am still working out the wiring to this with the whole ‘start button for firing the engine’ and ‘bridging out ign1 and ign2’ the Australian ignition barrel doesn’t have anything labelled ign1, ign2 but I’d presume it would have contacts that do the same job.
The pile of wires that I need to route, the hole location says to place behind the passenger head just below the fuel rail. I couldn’t quite get that location but I got fairly close, most wires reached easily. I think if you are going to do this the best way would be to connect and lay the harness over the engine while it is out of the car. You could get a good idea where you need to drill the hole in your firewall.
VE Commodore firewall grommet
Factory Computer (from 05 ram that has been flashed) installed
Painless fuse panel mounted on drivers side
Mounted and installed the drive by wire accelerator pedal, not a straight bolt on job, I slightly sliced and lifted up and boxed the edges of the floorpan to allow me to mount it flush. I am going to have the pedals modified to use the modern factory sports pads (Aluminium with little rubber pads)
