V1 PG5's Track Goblin - 2008 G5

[PG5]

That's actually who I called. They even advertised they pick up junk cars. I was told it's not worth it. I may try a few more places today. I'm sure SOMEONE will be interested.

Altho I'm sure my Nephew will jump at the chance to slice this sucker up with a plasma cutter.

Round 1

Zeny Cut 50 (Plasma Cutter) VS Pontiac G5 08 (Automobile)

The Zeny Stayed Cool but the Pontiac Lost its Top

Round 2

Zeny Cut 50 (Plasma Cutter) VS Pontiac G5 08 (Automobile)

Round 2 ended with the Pontiac taking a hard hit to the face, but he's still standing.

Can't wait to see you put the cobalt shell back together.

 

[JSATX]

Man why even bother with a goblin when you could have the coolest drop top G5 around!

As much as I love a good puzzle, this one is going straight to the scrap yard.

I think GM tried that, it didn't turn out so well.

Round 3

Zeny Cut 50 (Plasma Cutter) VS Pontiac G5 08 (Automobile)

Zeny KO'd the Pontiac in round 3. The Pontiac just couldn't take the heat the Zeny was putting down.

Winner Zeny Cut 50 (Plasma Cutter)

Are there any additional resources for doing the wiring harness (other than the build guide)? I found an image with measurements and labels on Instagram that looked useful: https://www.instagram.com/p/BFRk-L-hi05/?taken-by=dfkitcar However, I haven't been able to find the full image.

I'm looking for something to use alongside the build guide.

 

[PG5]

Nevermind! I found everything I've ever wanted to know here:

Well I started working on the harness while watching my new favorite program:

I like how they start you off easy with the cute little dash harness, all the while I'm staring at the 50lbs of body harness in the box next to me.

 

[PG5]

I've got three plugs I forgot to label. Anyone know what they are:

#1

#2

#3

 

[TheNuker]

The second beige one might be the ambient light sensor.

I don't recall seeing those other 2. The top black plug almost looks like the plug that goes to my boost gauge. but you don't have one of those.

Nuker-

I dunno, I've got this one tagged as the Ambient Light Sensor:

I wish I had a boosted Cobalt!

 

[TheNuker]

Nope your right, I just looked at my ambient light sensor. You have it marked right. TBH I wish we could get a thead for the LS/LT/SS-SC/SS-TC/G5 just showing detailed pics of every connector removed from a finished wiring harness.

I'm going to do that soon with my SS/SC just to help others out with the pain!

Nuker-

 

[PG5]

Yeah, I had the same thought! I started doing that with my G5 dash harness: https://goo.gl/photos/HHRg4YHvvWKtPVb18

Okay so mystery plug #2 is the trunk release. Although I did notice that the trunk release and hazard have the same connector. The trunk release has two wires and the hazard has three wires. Or at least I hope.

I'm still not sure what mystery plug #1 is. It's a mirrored version of the trunk release/hazard plug. It traces back to the following two plugs and a ground:

Mystery plug #3 traces back to the following two plugs (ignore the fuel pump label, that's for later):

I think this is a receiver for the keyfob:

Does it stay? I don't think I noticed it in the final harness diagram.

 

[Lonny]

Keyfob and tire pressure receiver.

For plug #3 what does your door ajar plugs look like could it be one of them?

 

[Tony]

Mystery plug #2 could be traction control switch... I know it was the same connector as the trunk release and hazard lights.

 

[PG5]

For plug #3 what does your door ajar plugs look like could it be one of them?

The door ajar plugs look similar to Plug #3, but they are located on my body harness next to the door plugs.

Mystery plug #2 could be traction control switch... I know it was the same connector as the trunk release and hazard lights.

My donor didn't come with traction control but maybe the plug was just stuffed in behind the dash? I dunno.



Mystery plugs 1 & 3 are on the harness located near the Ignition Switch, Power Steering, and OBD 2 Port. I'm trying to think what else was in that general area? It seems like it should be the trunk release but the connector is a mirrored version, has 3 wires and doesn't plug into the trunk release button. I've identified Mystery plug #2 as the trunk release since it plugged right in.

I meant #1 (the one you sad was still unidentified. But I also missed where you said it was mirrored, so that's not TC - they were all the same.
