Memory Accessories - Wiring


You will recall in my last post that I had discovered the steering column I have is the full memory item that can remember where a driver had it positioned in terms of height (tilt) and in terms of closeness to the driver (tele) and that once I found this out I went on a hunt to get the entire memory setup that went along with this.

This full memory setup also includes the outside wing mirrors, the seatbelt shoulder height adjustment and the drivers seat position (up/down, forward/back, recline and headrest height).

Well after spending 44 hours (the equivalent of a working week and a Saturday morning) last night was it…..the moment of truth.....I finished hooking up wires and decided to go live…….I put fuses on everything and made sure the power pack was within reach so I could kill the power if required. I also had the fire extinguisher at the ready……just in case……..so how did it go?

No worries at all, apart from the drivers seatbelt adjuster which stops and starts and won’t work on memory. It may just need a clean I think and is likely to be more of a mechanical issue than an electrical one I think. Also the drivers headrest is not travelling up and down freely. Again this will be mechanical so will be fairly easy to sort out.

So all in all I am stoked with the outcome.

Here's a couple of video's you can watch to see it all going.
