You can use those circuits for your display and Homelink remote, but the wires in that circuit are not suitable for the current you will need to run the power steering and vacuum pumps.

This an electric conversion correct? One way to easily get a high current supply for you pumps would be to re-purpose the radiator fan relays. The advantages are that you wouldn't need to run new circuits as you already have now unused, high current wires that are already run into the frunk, right where you would put the pumps (these are in connectors with the headlight wiring). You would need to do a little rewiring of the trigger circuitry, but that would be easy.

Qmulus,

Yes this is for my EV conversion. Could you point me to more information on those relays and their location? At this time I am keeping the radiators just in case I need some cooling for my EV Controller and/or LiFePO4 batteries!

However I could connect to the 12V if it is switched. If you give me more info I can find and measure.

BTW, my EV display (Andromeda Display) came out really well in place of my CD storage and lower cubby...

Thanks.
