Tore the dash apart so I could connect an IP-BUS adapter for my DVD player sound.Also connected the little amp that runs the speakers in the rear side doors.Also broke a couple of plastic tabs on the control unit for the heater & A/C(Super Glue is drying now,should be OK in the morning) I know...dumbass :lol:

I'll put it all back together tomorrow....here's a pic as it is now :lol:

What a mess. Good thing you don't have Lucas. It would NEVER, EVER work correctly again.

Yep. It was the Brits who screwed up by hiring drunk Irishmen to wire their cars.

Lucas -- inventor of the first intermittent wiper.

Lucas -- inventor of the self-dimming headlamp.

The three-position Lucas switch -- DIM, FLICKER and OFF.

The other three switch settings -- SMOKE, SMOLDER and IGNITE.

The original anti-theft devices -- Lucas Electric products.

"I've had a Lucas pacemaker for years and have never experienced any prob...."
