Something about consecutive numbers on your odometer?? I read it in the random question thread.

^Thanks Marcus

A few notes about how I did mine:

I managed to get everything plugged in without extending anything except for the bundle of ground wires that's under the battery cover.

For those, I just popped ring terminals on each end of a couple pieces of 10AWG wire, and used a bolt to attach the existing ring terminal to one end if my "extension wires" and then attached the other end of them to where the bundle was originally grounded.

I also had to cut the tape on the harness under the battery cover where the two Y apart so I could stretch the one going to the fender a little bit more.
But at least I was able to get everything to plug in without extending any wires other than the grounds. (The washer fluid pump, and hood button thing were the tightest ones)

Also, the one little ground wire that attaches close to the button thing that checks to make sure the hood is closed... that ground wire will have to be cut out of the harness to get it back to it's original mounting point (it kinda loops back and forth in there anyway, I have no idea why)
You can actually get a lot of slack in it, I may end up moving it to a different location.

And apparently the sedan doesn't have any "square hole" under the battery anywhere to tuck the bit + cable through. I looked everywhere for it, even removing the plastic tray the battery sits on, and popping out a grommet (turned out to be a dead end)
I just gave up and drilled a hole.

Oh, thought I skimmed through the post Kenny mentioned something about taking out the headlights and bumper. Stupid, but quick question. Does the tucked wire hang on the fender liner at all for you guys? I need to get fender liners and don't want to start this project in case it rains this week.

^Mine did. I didn't clip it up in the little clips for maximum room... and yes, if anything happens to that wheel well it will make a mess of the harness

Also, the battery tray is held on with 4 bolts. You'll need a 12mm to remove them. One of mine was rusted so badly I couldn't remove it, so I pried up on the tray until to popped through.

The square hole you see beside the engine doesn't go all the way through.

i havent put the grounds back yet haha i have to run buy some electrical tape and 12g wire and i was debating whether to do the positive still trying to figure out the battery tray i have only two 12mm that i can see there is a lot of residue from the battery so it could have been hidden it still feels like its welded in there i see 4 little silver bolts they dont seem to be removable maybe i just wasnt paying much attention as i was running the loom at the time ill take a pic. i dont have a drill or i would make a hole myself i might have to borrow one from a friend or something.
