I need to do a couple of things.

1. 18 button OBC swap
2. Small thing with the alarm
3. Wire the sunglass gauges so they don't stay on when the car is off (relay?)

Thanks.

For the gauges, I just put a switch in the switch panel below the gauges. It's really nice to see the temp gauges working even if the car is off...

PM me for a time that is convenient to you. I will come to you and of course there is no cost.
Fixed.

Doby,

do you have a pic of the switch? My gauges are now wired to my cig lighter so they stay on. Not bad for a while, but eventually drains the battery if I leave the car for a few days.

Thanks, i might take you up on it. The level of wiring that I'm comfortable with is plugging things in.

Get a simple little black switch from any local parts store. Pull one of the blank panels out of the switch panel. Cut a small hole, insert. Run power from cig lighter to switch and from switch to gauges. Drink a beer

Nothing "Lite" or "Light" and only from a bottle.
