Airbag, RAP & harness question
Airbag, RAP & harness question
I'm buidling a streetable drag car. Makes sense dont it? Its pretty much a drag car that'll be driven on the street while maintaining head lights, back up lights, break, turn signal, and what have you. So, more into detail on my situation. I've taken out almost every option i could get out of my 93 TA (still havn't found a way to cut out the rear defroster grid
) Power windows, locks, mirros, radio, heat/ac, PS, ABS, Air Bags, just pretty much everything. Now my questions are.
1. Do i need the harness for the ABS for anything else for it to run? I've heard rumors of if you take out the box behind the shifter under the center console that your gauges wont' work/light up. I've made a custom gauge cluster and will be running a stand alone computer/harness which is the BS3. So can I just take all the harness, plugs, and the mystery boxes out?
2. I've chopped out the power locks and window harness which is the cross car harness, which contains the Retained Accessory Power (RAP) module and the Express down module which I have no idea what that does, but i'm guessing its for the driver side window.
The ignition switch has two plugs that come off of the steering column. A blue and a black one. The blue one is tied into having power for 10 minutes after the key is cut off (having something to do with the RAP module) Can i disconnect that plug off of the ignition switch since I won't have anything that'll use current after the key is off?
3. Will I need the electronic brake module thing underneath the dash since i've taken out the ABS and gone with a line lock and proportioning valve? I'm eventually going to take the wires/connectors off of the brakes when the time comes.
Oh boy this car will never run. Welp, any help is grealy appreciated guys... i'm lost

I have access to alldatapro.com which is like an online service manual, but I can't seem to find any information thats even close to what i'm looking for. The only way that I think could actually solve the problem is to put about...what would seem to be close to 30 hours in tracing every wire to see where it goes and figure out what it does. So I just thought i'd ask some people to see if they have more insite than I do. Thanks Rob.
