Sockets for PIE CD Changer Harness
I bought the PIE CD Changer harness. I looked undr the passenger floor panel and found the 4 pin socket. There is supposed to be a 3 pin socket as well that is taped to another wiring harness. I can't find the 3 pin socket. I also am not sure how I can get the harness plugged into the 4 pin socket due to its orientation and the lack of space to manuver my fingers.
Any suggestions.

This tech tip tells you how to install that when the 3 pin connector is missing.

My fatazz had tons of trouble getting them connected (I DID have both connectors). I eventually removed the harness clip from the body and easily connected them. Get a pair of small needle nose pliers and disconnected the retaining clip..... much easier than laying there bruising your ribs :yesnod:

Thanks for the link to the tech tip. I never thought to look there becuse I never guessed the 3 wire socket would be missing.
Any tips for removing the plastic cover adjacent to the passenger door sill?
I will probably take the Corvette and the Tech Tip to somebody more adept at soldering.

I just received a phone call from Tuan Lee. He is a CorvetteForum.com Supporting Vendor. I bought the harness from him. He is giving me excellent service. He is helping me finish the installation. Please use Tuan for your purchases to get good prices and service.

Re: Sockets for PIE CD Changer Harness (Tuan Le)
Tuan found the well hidden 3 pin socket and connected the harness. I can now listen to my iPAQ or my ARCHOS 20 GB jukebox through my factory sound system. This makes my 50th AE even more enjoyable.
Tuan is a very nice person and it was a pleasure to meet him.
