OBC Hack Projects
Hello - if you're going to do this project, be sure to purchase the OBC wire harness from pdwight. It's perfect, affordable and will save you a lot of work fabricating one as the hack instructions will tell you to do. In addition, if do not have cruise control, pdwight has a harness for this too and you might as well do both at the same time. These projects are detailed in Pelicans website - 101 Project Book, projects 91 & 92. I just did both projects this past weekend. The biggest asset I had was pdwight's excellent harnesses. Good luck.

I want to second this. Just installed the OBC using the wire harness from Dwight. Very happy with it. Looks highly professional and comes with color instructions that are very clear. Thank you Dwight!

I raise my glass to pdwight and recommend you all to buy a pre-fiddled wire harness from him if you want a nice looking and more straightforward installation.
I would also like to comment though that it is still a 1-2 hour DIY project if you have the tools and some minor experience in crimping cables etc. To me it's part of the fun 
But anyway, DO IT DO IT

Is there such a thing as "thirding this"?
I also got a harness from Dwight and it worked like a charm. (and looked great)

Yes of course - Dwight can sell you a great harness for your 2002. I have an 02 base, and his harnesses worked beautifully - for both my OBC and Cruise Control hacks.
