Ok next adventure is starting to reaseble dash instrument section. Under the center console there are 2 silver boxes with wires that plug into them. One has a long wire and seems like it mounts back by the emergency brake lever. Does any one have a picture of where I need to mount these two boxes? Also how can I attach a picture to help describe what I am talking about?

Photos are easy to add at this forum. Simply click on the little "landscape" icon in the header where you write the message. You can give a web link or choose "browse my device" which allows you to choose a photo on your computer/phone/etc OR anything attached to it (like a camera).

The two "silver boxes" you mention are probably relays--the one to the rear for the power antenna, the one further forward for the alarm system.

The one on the left is the wiper delay module and mounts kinda under the radio. You can just make it out here forward of the heater control....

The other one is the power antenna relay and mounts all the way back under the parking brake cover.

Thanks this picture helps a lot. It looks to me like this picture was taken from the passenger side of the car. Is that correct

Does the wiper delay screw down to the transmission tunnel? will I have to remove the verticle heater duct to instal this part?

Can you tell me which direction this photo was taken? My guess is that it is taken facing the rear of the car.

Both pics were taken passenger side looking front to rear.
Sorry I got nothing better pic wise.
I do think the wiper relay only used 2 screws.

If you compare my pic to yours it appears the wires go forward.
Also, I think the silver in the upper rt. corner of my pic is the bottom of the radio.
