Well I re-upholstered the overhead console in this thread HERE and then decided i'd try to get the onboard Compass and Temp sensor unit working. I found some wiring schematics and pin outs online for the pre 97 overhead console units which made this project possible. I could not locate a factory plug for the unit at the local U-pull yard so I found some connectors in my hobby stuff that would work.
Here's the unit being bench tested in the kitchen with a 12v power supply:
Wiring into the factory plug area. This was a PITA:
And my patent pending "Ear Light":
Here is my new T Case shifter knob I did. Its a leather knob from a 4 Runner:
My buddy Jon decided he wanted new seats in his ZJ so I put his old seats in my rig:
After i got the overhead console done, I moved the factory dome light to above the cargo area:
Thats it for today... more down the road i'm sure
