try adding a real description...dont be lazy.
nobody wants to reply to "Minimum Character Limit"



but I'm going to be the first to respond anyways...and tell you that you will need to extend every wire on the pcm..(solder, shrink wrap...do it properly)
just not enough space to get it past the HVAC stuff.

with no HVAC I've seen several people just flip it to the inside with no real issues... its just long enough to attach to the firewall on the inside..

I don't see why the PCM can't be moved without disturbing or removing the HVAC system. Unless you wanna tuck it in it like soundenginner said.

Extending, or in my case, building a custom harness from scratch... I may be a massochist

hell, if you have the crimpers building one from scratch is probably easier than extending all those damn wires.

If you do extend the harness I would highly recommend using a heatshrink like this that has an adhesive inner lining that will dry rigid. Not only will it give you better protection from moisture the rigidity will prevent the splices from breaking down from vibration.
