| Convenience Module (1 x 2 inches) |
|
 | Opens the trunk if the 'Roof Down' switch is pressed. |
| Unlocks the passenger door if the 'Roof Up' switch is pressed for 3 seconds.* |
| These functions work anytime the ignition is on and the parking brake is off (down). If the brake is up, the 'Roof" switch works normally to control the convertible top. |
| Allows the trunk and passenger door unlock functions and the
power windows and the convertible top to be operated for approximately
90 seconds after the ignition is turned off. After 90 seconds
the ignition must be turned 'on' again for them to work. * small caveat - only works if the driver's door is unlocked |
Please note this is not a plug-and-play installation. The connectors would cost more than the module I make, so you'll have to do some cut and splice with your car's wiring, but I think it's worth it for the results. See the Wiring Diagram to get a feel for the wiring required. Or download the whole installation guide here (1MB pdf format, right-click and choose 'save as')
If you think you're interested in this mod, read the installation instructions before you buy. If you are not comfortable with cutting and splicing wires on your car, find someone knowledgeable to help or don't do it.
| Remove interior trim panels |
| Run wires from the console to under the dash |
| Splice wires using crimp connectors or |
| Soldering & heat-shrink wires will make a much neater install. |

| 3 - 6' lengths of 22 gauge wire, (yellow, white, green recommended) |
| 1 - 6' length of 18 gauge wire, (black recommended) |
| 8 pairs of mating insulated crimp-on connectors & 6 'tap-in' connectors
or soldering iron and tape (your preference) You can get the connectors at Radio Shack, part # 64-3049 & 64-3053 |
Quick overview: The Convenience Module is installed in the center console, inside the right 'tunnel' that connects the console to the space under the radio. This tunnel is where you'll run 4 wires up to the dash area, and the module fits inside the tunnel on the right side of the shifter. A ground wire is connected to the parking brake mounting bolt, and 6 connections are made to the HAZARD, ROOF, and PARKING BRAKE switch wires.
