Seriously something id be intersted in.


At this point I know how to mod the board and "make it work" with the standard B13 intermittent stalk and a stand alone volume control. What I'd really like is to find a stalk that'll do it, but the two I've tried had issues firing off the washer fluid because of alignment issues between the switch body and a stalk that really doesn't belong in it.

I have to get my head together, but I'll come up with something. Tonight I celebrate.

The easiest way to do this (initially) is going to be with a "stand alone" volume control mounted either on top of the steering column cover or on the dash, possibly in the knock out next to the power mirror switch. I like the looks of this one, but it's $15+.....




Now I need to find a compatable stalk, and I already have some thoughts....

This is with a modded USDM board and the fixed intermittent stalk.

No, no need for the PHDM board. The USDM board can be modified by simply removing one resistor and placing a lower value resistor in the spot right next to it, then of course the two wires going to a volume control. What I do need to figure out is a stalk to match. I have a few ideas, now I just need time to get to the junk yard, then testing.

What now makes it easy is that everything is installed in the car. All I have to do is pop the volume control out of the dash, unhook the wire to it and jump in the stalk of my choice. Once I find a stalk that is compatible I have to figure out how to mount it into the switch body.

The pisser is that I had the board modified properly at my first attempt, but because the stalks wouldn't work I assumed the board was still wrong.

And you are correct Sir, I would not have gotten this far without your help. Props to you my friend!
