So I'm very lazy. I decided to move the buttons up on the speedo (the once that change the 2 screens),
I moved them down under the Gear stick.

I'll post pics tomorrow.

Red and white are positive.
Black and Green are ground.
I used a 4 pin XLR connector for easy disconnect.
here's the pinout
1. red. (Clock switch)
2. black. (Clock switch)
3. white. (Odo switch)
4. green. (Odo switch)

That's awesome! I've been wanting to do that but I haven't taken the time to take the dash apart to see what my options are. Now I don't have to until I get parts. Thanks!

very niiice. a DIY and this.... you're on a roll :D

BigBHaller

That's great. I've wanted to do that, but wasn't sure what to touch.

I take it, from the pics, that if you opted to leave the buttons intact, both the stock buttons and the relocated ones would work?

Also, since there's only two leads per button, wouldn't polarity not matter? You're only providing another means of closing the circuit.

Thanks again for the DIY.

^^yes the buttons up on the gauges are still operational.

Also the polarities don't matter.

can you tell how to take off the console cover, I want to get in there and install some LED's. Does it sanp off, I'm afraid to pry it up. I have A/T console.

the Silver part first, it snaps off. then there's 4 screws and more snapping.

I'm lazy too. I put my button over here because I could picture myself regularly hitting the button when I picked up a drink or hit the mute button on my radar detector if I put it where you did. Thanks for leading the way!!

ive always found its stock location annoying also. I'm 6'2" with some long arms to match and i still feel like im stretching to hit this button (or adjust the mirror!). I was thinking it would be cool to have it on the steering wheel, but a lot of work would be involved to do it cleanly.

OK, so now I need to find someone in so cal whom I can pay to do this mod for me. I want it.
