Pretty straight forward vehicle

Lots of room..........If it has Factory Keyless, you can catch the wires at the Door Lock Relays above Gas Pedal.
Also there are other short cuts or Installer idea's I am sure others have, but why not have fun & go for it

it does not have factory keyless. it looks pretty easy so far....... have fun with the audiovox? that sounds kinda scary, like there should be an evil laught after it,  or are you just telling me to enjoy it?

More than likely you didn't do anything wrong.  Odds are the window motor is starting to go.  A very common thing with gm window motors.  What you can do is modify the 530t to higher resistance.

That's what I'm talking about.  Of course you could always replace the window motor too.  Pretty easy thing to do.

i think there's an easyer spot then behind the glove box to hide the brain, but one thing i like to do is wrap the wire harness with tape to make it look like the factory wiring, also don't forget to solder if you can get your iron in there good enough (don't need to melt plastic everywhere)  you can also get away with mounting your brain to something useing wire ties if there's not a spot  for a perfect fit. but i will say one thing, (should be commen sence..but tell that to the other installer i worked with at my last shop) don't take the easy route and go through the sterring colom rubber gromet. i can't remember if that has an open sterring coloum or not...but you don't need any wires getting wraped in it and sparking everywhere...casues much damage

glove box is already out, its easy to get out, hard to get at if you dont know its there. and very roomy back there. i have a hole in my firewall for all my other power wires so these wires will be no where near the steering column.
