Hello;
I have a 2008 HHR, I bought it from someone that was making a race car out of it and cut like all the wiring out of it and all of the ECM and electric component's, The wiring above the head liner was still intact, I have try to make it work, I have read alot on here but still can't make it work. I don't know if it is possible too. Need help if anybody has any ideals. I check the power at the module and have 12V.
Thanks Jeff

 

What is missing?

 

Everything is there above the headliner, I run hot and ground to the plug at the back just just above the left tail light. I used the wire diagram from this page. It looks like it should work but is dose not. My question is the Tan wire the dose to the enable but I don't know what that is or if it should have power or a ground.
Thanks

 

So nothing works, so you want to start by getting the sunroof to work?

 

That's what I am trying to do, can't get it to do anything, Looking for help to make it work.
thanks Jeff

 

The tan wire is clearly shown as going to the BCM, it is a digital signal from pin 5 on connector X1.

 

I don't have BCM or a ECM, all of the original ele components have been removed. It has a 421cu motor 700R transmission and a ford 9" rear end.

 

I don't know what a BCM is or do.

 

Then you have no business trying this job. The BCM is the computer/fuse box on the passenger side of the waterfall console.
How do you propose to get the lights, door locks, radio, starter, etc. working? They are all controlled by the BCM.


My guess is the tan wire carries a 5 volt positive signal. Might be ground.

 

The car is street legal with working lights, yes i am trying to make thing work, I want to install a vintage heat and ac in it, already have the ac compressor installed. The wipers and the bight an dim lights work. It has a aftermarket wiring harness in it
