I did this mod today. For pre-1999 models, note that the connector numbers changed, the purple/red wire (not pink/red as shown in the article) comes from the blue fusebox connector, not the yellow connector and it is on a different pin no.Quote:

I have a 98 so the earlier gems, I will double check wires first.
I am also planning the bypass / emergency kit. I will get round to making it up some, along with the suspension lift.
Benji, that's some switch panel you've got hiding away, what are they all for?
Stefan has asked me to write it up for his website so I'll do than and copy it here.Quote:

so the wire I am looking for is the purple and red wire from the blue connector under the fuse box under the bonnet, not under the seat?
I have a 1998 gems.
Yeh, blindin I went a bit overboard - a bit more than I could chew.
There's 9switches in all.
Spot lights, Eas, Abs, Tail gate and bonnet close, second battery connect, brake switch dissable eas/eas pump turn on/brake switch and door open dissable from eas, future light bar on /off/with high beam, difflock, and aux pump. And leds to indicate when the pumps, lights, difflock etc. are on.
One of those projects where you think it up on a sleepless night, then half way through you think, ****.
I've got all the worrying (wiring) diagrams of anyone needs some stress leave from work :D

It's the same wire, it goes from the fuse box to the relay under the seat.Quote:

See my pic, it shows the leads going down.
The switch set up is simple, easy to get at and most people entering the car would never notice it, and if they did I could demonstate it with a flick of the thumb.
Cheers.
Thanks.
Just walked back in from completing it.
I went through rave to get the number then searched the location.
Found the relay under the passenger seat, which is lucky, as I was thinking of cutting a wire under the drivers seat, and then under the bonnet. Lol
It's a temp job at the moment, but is quite well installed.
Just to confirm, when I turn it off, I get the 55kph max message come up, is every one else getting this?
Also have made up a bypass kit which seems to fit well, next thing is some suspension lift and sway bar removal.
I'm hoping with my suspension valve in place it will give me much better flex, and save me from buying a diff lock.
I will try and post posts if I can ever get the thing to work.
Gary, are you going on the Friday night run?

Not sure why but it could mean when you are in low range or on the bump stops ?
Simon, unfortunately no. I'm currently sailing a catamaran down the east coast on our way to Melbourne (started in Queensland). I wish the cat had air suspension, it might take away some of the bigger bumps and thuds as we drop off some of the larger swells. I'm not back in Perth until late on Saturday 15thQuote:
