Does it *plug* into the main harness or do you have to splice it onto? what are the color codes or are the diff for diff model yrs? |

Rich, let me know if you need any of that as I may still have part of it (at least the connector that plugs into the relay board and some of the wires).

If someone would be so kind as to extensively document the harness, I would very much appreciate it. Off the top of my head, I would love to see:
1. wire colors 2. wire lengths 3. connector pictures (various angles and measuring tape for size) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

I would be happy to document it for free, maybe even build them if it can be sent to me.

Just installed one. Wires start at dash with the rear window defrost switch. The switch activates the relay in the engine compartment-as stated already. There is a special connector that plugs onto the two posts you see at the rear of your relay board; one 12v from the dash swtch, the other 12v to the window. That wire passes back into the car and connects to the rear window on the passenger side.
