I plan on moving my ECU to the glovebox and i know its the one under the passenger seat on my 97 model. Ive read that only the ground wire will need to be lengthened which will be no problem. Also i asssume i need to move my ABS box under the driver seat, anyone know of what is in involved with this?

your air bag control box is located under your armrest/center console. dont forget that I did.

the ecu is simple I haven't moved the abs box and after my sas I wont have abs anyway.

Welli really want to disable the air bags anyways. Do you have a write up of your relocate? The one that was on NOR crashed.

I didnt do any write up on it.
1. I took the seat out
2. unbolted the ecu disconnected the wires
3. took the molding off that holds the carpet and folded the carpet back
4. take the wiring out of plastic mounts holding to body molding (extend ground wire) and run the wires up side wall into glovebox
5. using self tapping screw connect ground to firewall or any other metal.
6. fasten ecu into glovebox (I used small nuts & bolts) on the back flap in glovebox


not going with sas. atleast not right now.

for mine i used 2 strips of velcro. its not going anywhere.

this picture shows the two holes i needed to cut. and you can see the ground right to the left of the far back hole. the duct tape is to ward off the sharp edges.



3 inch susp. and body lift, 33's, other stuff.

Well i kinda didnt want to put it in the glove box but i guess that would be the easiest route. God i gotta clean some crap out of it before i can put anything else in there.
