yes, here is what you need to do, there is a relay set you should have on a bracket, that relay screws into the lower door hinge bolt access hole so that the relays sink in, then if you look on that same pillar, but higher under the dash there is a junction box, plug the connectors with the orange wires into that junction box, then pull your fuse box down, you should have a spot on front for one of the metal 30 amp fuses, plug that in, then on the back of the fuse box there will be an empty hole crresponding to that fuse, there is a thick red wire that plugs into that hole and runs to the junction box, plug that in and your system has power, the rest is all routing. if you need pix just ask, just did this myself

Hey chevy, do you have those pics? I'm workin on the same project and can't seem to find the junction box to plug into.

sorry guys, was gone for a few days, here's the pix of the junction block

thanks for the pics, hmm, definitely don't have that. I must have the newer wire setup... not cool.

those are out of a 1985 camaro, its the power accessory junction block, you should have it, its not very easy to see

They changed the way they did it in 89, got rid of the distribution box for a much more simple setup. I've searched for an hour and definitely don't have it. And my car was made 1/2 way though 89, so I am assuming I have the second setup.

I honestly would go to the junk yard and grab one, it is a VERY simple set up and makes adding power options so easy

FireChicken2.8 · 06-30-2009, 11:17 PM

I have no need for it...have all the power options, except windows, and the window harness i have is plug and play.
