The plug is way the heck up above the steering column, you have to really get in there to find it.

I could not figure how to route the harness and use the factory plastic plugs in the factory holes so I used zip ties. They worked great. The only hard part will be fishing the connector up to where it plugs into the rear of the up fitter switches. The assoc. wires are under the dash just to the right of the parking brake. Any question just givce me a shout. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the help - I'll give this a shot some time this week. Hopefully when it warms up. This 30 degree weather crap, is something us Floridians aren't use to.

Try 24 degrees here in new orleans, its been below freezing at night for over a week now. It has killed everything I have grown for the past three years.

Thanks for the help guys. I was able to find the plug. It was more up towards the firewall, than back up close to the instrument cluster where I was originally looking. I can say that was pretty easy once I found the plug. However, routing the wire through to the switch housing was a hole other story.

All is installed and well. Thanks again.
