77890, Relocation of the heater controls
Posted by DJ420a, Oct-13-04 05:03 PM
Who has done it? How much of a pain in the ass is it? Any pics? I have some ideas I want to put into work, but the heater controls are in the way.

I've seen them in the glove box before...the only thing that would really be a problem that i could imagine was if the wires were long enough. If theyre long enough then it shouldnt be hard at all....i think there is a post with pics....do a search

The cables would be the hard part. Actually if you get creative it should hold you back at all. You can get universal cables used in throttle control to replace them so you can make them longer. Parts stores may be able to help you, not autozone but actual parts stores. napa might have something they can work with to get you a general cut to size. You just need to make sure you have a solid wire type cable and get creative with the attachments. Lawnmover cable is very close to what i am talking about.

If you do it def post some picts.

Im definitley doing it. Im just trying to figure out where I want to put it. Either console compartment, glove box, or mounted to the underneath of the front of my drivers seat. Mounted to the frame so the seat can still be adjusted. Then its outta the way.

I havent totally decided if its going to go in the glove box, even though that would be the easiest place to put it, but thats why Im leaning against it. Ive been measuring and seeing if it will fit in the console compartment or under the drivers seat. Any opinions?

I think the glovebox would be the coolest place. The console second. The seat idea just doesn't seem right. Your car though. I do want pics when your done where ever you put it.

Im going over to the shop today to atleast see how much I have to add to the harness to sit it in the glovebox. If I am successful, I will take pics, they will be just sitting there, but I will take pics.
