The two wiring harnesses in the doors will pull out quite a bit. You should be able to pull the connectors out!
The cables are quite long. Check that.

Hey Bill how did you get so good at this, it wasn't from working on the
z06 you have in your aviator was it?
No,, not the ZO6!!
The Z has been really reliable! It has had some electrical issues but nothing I couldn't handle. I had the dreaded 1214 DTC and the EBTCM failed. After a lot of fighting with GM, they fixed it under a good will program 30 days out of warranty.
My 98 MN6 Coupe on the other hand was an electrical nightmare!!
. I was ready to burn the sucker. It had multiple electrical issues at the same time
Once I fixed the grounds and replaced the TAC module, it was a totally different car!!!!
The grounds were 90 percent of the problem. The TAC module was the other 10 percent of the problem. It would die or go into limp home mode "reduced power" at will. New TAC module fixed that.
I have been into electronics all my life. I was in the electronics field in the navy (26 years) and I learned to use the factory service manuals to troubleshoot.
Oh yea,,,,the forum has been a real big help when I first got my 98!
I got my 98 in Dec 97, so,,,,there were many many desperate post asking for help! So,,,,don't feel bad for asking a LOT of questions and asking for help.
