2006 Grille Removal

[AshleyTatton]

Ok, I'm finally seriously planning this, and I found an instruction guide on the net, it's basically just how I though it was, except taking the front wheel off, guess I'll have to do it at the boys old shop, as I don't have jack. Also, do I really have to splice that wiring harness? Doesn't mine just fully replace the old one? Will seriously try to get to it in the next week.

Make sure to mix some champagne in with the step by step picture taking!

A big bottle of Baby Canadian champagne and some rerouting of wires, seems alright. Yeeeah I drink the cheap champagne (it tastes better IMO) What do you want from me, my favorite beer is Lucky. There would be some random pictures taken for sure.

I'm thinking a tripod and self timer camera are a must for this mod session.

[AshleyTatton]

Duuude, I know. I'm ridiculous. I will do this this weekend or I will give the whole grille/lights/wiring harness away to one of you guys. That's my motivation to get my ass on this. Pilsner? Do you guys have Lucky Lager out there? What is FTL, for the loss?

Yes we have Lucky, you have heard of Pilsner right? lol. the little bunny flying the plane on the can

[AshleyTatton]

Yeah doesn't it have a mostly green/red scene going on the label too? We have it all over here if you really want some shipped out.

^^^yep like a landcape scene. I'm gonna call around to some of the local Beer Sores and see if they can order me in some, now I'm thirsty. Ok, back on topic, got that grill done yet?

How can you ask for a better woman? Cheap drunk, loves beer, loves Mustangs, and can work on her own car. You sure your not coming to the Maritimes any time soon?...lol

Well one thing is for sure if you're ever single again ashley there will be no shortage of offers for dates (as long as you like older men you'll be fine )

Ok I finally did it. There is one plug that doesnt match up though. It didn't previously exist on my car, and the only new plug ends are for the foglights that are done up. Everything but the foglights work, any ideas? Here are the install pictures.

Before I started^

Replaced the little grey boxy thingy under the fuses. (Yup, thats a professional description) After taking the grille and rad cover off and disconnecting the battery. (The boys hand, being my hold up and take picture bitch.)

This is the plug that has no home. (My hand this time, his pics ended up blurry)

Replaced the plugs to the headlight and turning signal below it (3) and one to the rad. Took off rad support to easily pass the harness past and hook up the first fog light.

Pretty much the same picture with more light and you can see the old harness draped up over the engine as it became useless. Ground hooked up.

Passed under the other rad support and clipped in on the right side.

Not very many plugs to do on this side. Harness ends after the second headlight and turnsignal/orange sidemarker.

This is from underneath before I unplugged the old turn signal, and in the top you can see the new plugs dangling down.

Pushed the headlight switch out from behind the dash and plugged the new one in. All headlights work, even high beam, just not the fog lights. Should there be more? I'm going to stop in at the dealership and take a peak at a pony tomorrow on my way home from work, see what I'm missing. This was the easiest project ever, just unplug and replug the new one, same color even. I'm 800% sure I didn't mess anything up or leave anything unplugged along the way. Has power, has a ground. Why no foglights?!

[klaw]

Not sure what it could be but I'm guessing the unconnected plug has something to do with it. Will see if I can trace that plug through my harness if I get a minute today. Good job getting back at this! A little wider angle shot to the left on picture 3 would have been nice! haha
