Re: carious

Well, just think about it... you have a base model car with no wiring for all the power options you want. It'd be easier to go to the junkyard and find a similar year car that has those options and then pull all the wiring harnesses (body/dash/rear) including the switches and relays and put it in your car. I'm not sure if your wiring harness has existing plugs for cruise control and fog lights (I think the factory sometimes ran the wires for them), but if it doesn't, then you'll need the engine & light harness as well. Lots of work, but then it'd be wired right, and you could troubleshoot things easily.

Re: carious
