New Z1 ground bypass


Recommended Posts

I looked at the back of my Z1 and connection 2 is not there. Not sure where it is but I will include pictures. Also, maybe I should provide a little history. My orginal f150 head unit is buried in the back of the dash. It was needed for the overhead rail dvd player to work. So the installer rigged it somehow that it still works. I'm not sure if that affects the connection 2 or not, just thought I would provide that information. please take a look at the pictures provided and let me know what you think.

Well, you are right, it's not in the back there, but every Z1 came
with that connector. Who ever bought it or installed it had it at
one time. You will need to get it from the installer or original
purchaser. Having the stock radio won't interfere with connector
2, but I guess that the installer didn't need it, didn't use it and
might have just thrown it out. Is it in your box of extra parts
that were left over when you installed it?

[quote name="funtuff"]I had it professionally installed. All I got was the manuals. I'll call the installer and ask them for connector 2. Then what? Do I plug it in and ground that wire?[/quote]

Well there is no wire in that location, so you will need to pull one off
one of the other locations and ground that wire, then permanently
ground the parking brake wire and you will be good to go.
