First off let me say that I've done a ton of searching and can't find an answer to my questions. I am primarily after some answers to questions but I also thought it would be a good idea to amalgamate some of the many links I have come across to help anyone who tries to do this in the future.
I have a 99 sport, auto, 4-door with an aftermarket keyless entry and auto start.
So far this is what I've discovered through all my searching:
-1997 harness has 3 connectors, the 99 has 2. The small 3-wire connectors will plug into each other. Photos are here.
-I found wiring diagrams for both the 97 & 99 online.
-When I compare the 2 diagrams it appears the wiring is coloured the same.
-Apparently the 1997 has 2 extra wires, not sure what to do with these.
I am fine with splicing the wires together since the connectors don't match up.
My questions relate to the wiring connectors. Does anyone have the pinouts for both the 1997 & 1999? I found them for a 98 and 01 but obviously they aren't the years I need. My 2 questions would probably be answered if I had the pin-outs.
Question #1 - On the 1997 wiring harness connector, which wh/blk wire is the 12V, and which is the data connection?
Question #2 - The third connector on the 1997 wiring harness has several wires with colours that are not shown on either wiring diagram. I don't know what they are for. In fact, none of the wires in the 3rd connector for the 1997 wiring harness are shown in the wiring diagrams.
I'm hoping to tackle this on the weekend so I want to be as prepared as I can before I start. I plan on wiring it up first to make sure everything functions before I go cutting apart the headliner.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
