Installed my new waterproof immobilizer case.

Not quite as easy as I thought it would be - the two harnesses still looked factory new, right down to the cloth tape wrapping them. I had to rip sections of the tape off in order to get the silicone sealer down in between the wires. The harnesses also fought me tooth and nail when I tried to mount the board into the new box - the board has to sit over two indexing pins and OMG, the harnesses kept making the board pop up, but I finally got it down and the cover on.

A really nice, well designed, and well put-together kit. If you follow the instructions (or the YouTube video) anyone can install it.

The whole process took about an hour and a half, including seat removal, vacuuming the area under the seat (I found a quarter!) to remove 17 years of dirt, etc.

I just need to clip the (super long) zip-tie and reinstall the seat (I'll do that tomorrow). Oh, and I'll probably need to clear the airbag light since I powered up the car with the drivers seat out to make sure everything still worked.

I finished detailing car. I also finally removed the driver sunvisor and installed the replacment vanity housing to fix the broken and missing mirror cover.

I cut the wires then solder the wires together and a little electric tape.

Good as new!

Put the drivers seat back in to finish up the waterproof immobilizer case installation.

Took her out for a nice long drive.

Came back and used my Durametric cable to clear the airbag light (drivers seat belt fault code caused by powering up the car to check the immobilizer without having the drivers seat installed).
