Default I Relocated my Traction Control *PICS*

I decided to relocate the traction control module under the hood.
Mainly because it’s ugly and no one that I know of has accomplished it yet.

It was a pain in the *** but it came out well.
I spent about 2 hours on it yesterday and about 5 today.
Overall it was a fairly quick mod with little (or no) fabrication.

I know that I still need to do the !wire, !ground and !hood latch mod.
Eventually it will happen.
Then I can repaint the engine bay because it looks like hell right now.

Tell me what you think.

I was about to ask you what the hell that giant black thing next to your battery was. Then I realized that's what you were talking about. I don't have traction control.

I've looked and looked but can't find it. I assume it's somewhere back there by the PCM? I have no clue...

If you follow the traction control wires it looks like they go up under the cowl part, I lose sight of them when they go behind the big wire loom. So its back there somewhere I think.

Brian wins. It's behind the PCM.

I still need to wrap the wires in loom and hide the cables better.
There was no time to finish up. I took some pics real quick and posted them.
