That's not stock... Is that the "modern wiring" that I've seen for sale around here? It looks slick.

Nope, I had been looking for a while and ended up just piecing this together. The Mini Fuseblock on the left is 12 VDC from the battery. The one in the middle is 12 VDC ACC (on when the key is turned to ACC or running). The long fuse block is all the misc things like the headlights and such. |

Well done. Very clean. Do be careful of the hole there in the cabin air intake system though. Its for drainage from what I can tell. Mine had a tube over it draining water through the floor.

Converted the pressurized window washer tank to an electric pump. I found this universal kit on Amazon. I was able to remove the pump from their tank, drilled a 3/4" hole in my tank and it was a perfect fit. Now to figure out how to get the water to hit the window instead of cleaning the roof. One step at a time.
Here is the link to the kit on Amazon.

Progress is slow, however, it is moving forward.
