Anyone besides me without a clue as to what those two gizmos do for you?

Keep the mods comming, and thanks for sharing your passion for your Vette with us

Always a good read, and sometimes some "lively banter"

The Never Ending Mod Story. There's got to be something to look forward to other than work. Keep it up EG. You inspire us all.

: UPDATE :

Installed the TracActive Controller and discovered a nasty surprise!! The former owner had an alarm installed and whoever installed it butchered the wiring!!! One of the many reasons I do not allow anyone else to work on Grond.

All fixed now and the Laptrax TracActive Controller Deluxe is installed and fully functional.

Here are the pics and this is the end of this particular mod. I will post the Kenne Bell Boost-a-Pump mod in a seperate thread.






All so they could install 2 resistors - what idiots!

The Brown wire from the Laptrax connects to the Brown/White wire from the BCM


Accessory Power connectors - yellow connects to yellow switched power and black connects to ground. Just three wires and you are done!

No, that is a TSB. I found the new blower controller under the glove compartment.
