Hey all,

I know this is another thread, but still... it can't be too bad for us all for future reference. I'm wanting to know what these connectors are for and also what these little black boxes are.

All of it is from underneath the dash. mostly from centre area and toward passenger side.

I believe that they are for stereo, a/c & heater controls, glovebox light, possibly the sensor for a/c??, cigarette lighter... but there's more than just those - can anyone identify these at all???? They aren't connected an i believe they're not required, but i dont want to cut them out until i get some feedback.

cheers.

1.

Left to right

CD Player - i believe this is for steering wheel controls or something...plugs into factory deck, but aftermarket harness adapters dont utilize it. Does NOT control antenna, lighting, dim lighting, etc....assuming its for controls.

CD player, main harness (yellow = 12v, red = acc, blue = antenna)

Light for cig lighter, or ashtray....or it might be the harness for a lead that connects into that, and lights up the PRND21 for Auto's.

4:

Dash cluster (speedo, tacho, etc)

7:

One of the modules under the steering collumn...that might be time control module (responsible for locking doors when moving), turns light on the roof on when a door is open, emmits door open light on dash, etc.

8: That's the little f**ker that beeps @ 105+ kmp/h. Located same plase as #7

Not to be confused with the reverse beeper/door locked/open + keys in ignition/lights on beeper (which is behind the far right air con vent.

9: Same location...not sure, this would be another time control module, door locks maybe.

I've read that cutting these can cause problems with central locking / alarm arming, and confuse the ECU with HICAS shit somehow.

Best to leave those little ones except the speed warning connected.

10: I beleive is a relay for air con ?

Now then, post pics of drifter or ban :devil:

Thanks Nic (btw thanks again for the dvd i'm just about to start reading the instructions!) - that's definately a start! I forgot to mention that I have re-connected most things that are staying, including: dash, hazards, indicator and wiper controls, wiper control relay...

1 - ok - that's going!

2 - white female connector 2 pin - 1xblue wire with white trace, 1 xblue wire with red trace ????????

3 - big grey square???

white female connector 3 pin flat ??????

white female connector 4 pin square ??????

white female connector 4 pin flat ??????

4 - ???? It's not dash cluster - that's all plugged in. would it be for the aircon/heater controls???

(from left to right)

black female connector ?????

black female connector (wider) ????

white female connector ?????

white female connector (wider) ????

5 - black female connector 2 pin ????? cigarette lighter power ??????

6 - white female connector 5 pins - plugs into another connector a short distance away ???????

7 - white connector plugs into small circuit board????

8 - awesome - that's going! (and i can probably identify that other one on drivers side) :ermm:

9 - black box - other side is just blank ???????????

10 - nice. can this be confirmed???? if so - it's going!

1. -

2 Could possibly be the trigger for brake lights, or goes onto the full throttle sensor behind the pedal.

3 If this is close to the ECU side, might be a relay ?

Looks like relay to me...

4 Must be for air con, now that you mention it.

5 -

6- Possibly for the speaker behind the air con vent, that goes off for lights being left on, door locks, etc.

7, 8 & 9 just leave connected, all those modules under the collumn work together to do alot if different shit. Just disconnect the speaker for speed, but judging by the amount of sound deadening (or lack of) and the cockpit buttons, I'd say you probably won;t be hearing it anyway.

10 TBC

thanks again - definitely looking for more help with these if possible ;)

KRIS your input would be great aswell!

and Nic - pics as requested! :down:

Faaaark you are full on Huddy!

I see you have the same tubs as that S13 on ns.com - Ben I think his name is?

** Was this cef factory manual?

1 - stereo

2 - Foot brake plug?**

4 - A/C control unit

5 - Cigarette Lighter

awesome, thanks for that.

and no it wasn't factory manual so it has heaps of auto badness oozing out of it :D (so if you can identify more... sweet :( ! )

... and Nic - it's not my dash... just an example - mines cut to shit :(

Scratch number 2. I just checked it out and its not the same plug as the footbrake plug. although it looks very similar to the plug that is connected to the accelerator.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
