Steering wheel lights in '04 Coupe- EASY
I spent a nice relaxing couple of days before X-mas playing car. I bought a used 2006 G35 steering wheel off ebay just for the lights. I know this has been discussed before, buy I don'y know if anyone has been sucessfull. I took a few hours to figure things out, but now that I know how to do it, it's really not that difficullt. All you need is the switches, wire and a soldering iron. Check it out.

You don't need to buy a new "clock spring" or hub. What I did was find, by a process of elimnination the harness on the back side of the clock spring hub that suppied the controls for the audio and cruise control. This is the grey connector that plugs in right next to the yellow connector on the lower back side of the hub. You can see it in the first picture. The second picture is of the back side of the hub.

I pulled a dash light lead off of the VDC switch and ran a wire to an empty spot on the grey connector. Then plugged in the grey connector on to the hub, ran a test light to the connector gang on the front side of the hub to see which pin was making my test light go on. Once you know what pin it is you make sure the yellow wire from the steering wheel switches gets to that pin and the pink wire goes to ground. I spliced in a red wire to the pink to use an eyelet connector for the grounding screw.
BTW if you compare an '04 wheel with a later one, you'll notice that all the wires are the same except for the addition of a yellow and pink wire going to both the left and right switches. Againn yellow is power to lights and pink is ground. If you have any questions, let me know. Now that I know how to do it, it would take 1/4 the amount of time.
