Ok. Ill move on. Thank you.

Where does one find instructions for relocating the brake resevior? I see a photo album in a thread where there is a machined block with brass fittings/nipples and extra hardware, but this is not in the stage1 hardware box. Is this because its not part of stage1?

No instructions that I could find. I just went by the pics.

 

[comegetjoe]

Any idea what this little guy goes to that is tied up with the BCM wiring?

Incoming complaint.

What am I supposed to do with this?Hardware baggy says it had exactly what its supposed to have.

I cut the bolt down, the nut still hits the frame.

 

[comegetjoe]

Got the wiring harness started. After seeing some pics, its... off. It needs to be repositioned, but its started.

**** mosquitos. I must have magical blood!

You're missing a small spacer there.

A large and small spacer? Well now I dont have enough bolt for that to happen. Guess I shouldve thought about the kick plate too before cutting the bolt down.

 

[Rttoys]

Turn the bolt around. Makes it easier to mount the bcm, then the cover and remove the cover for servicing.

I just did that step today. This is how I did it. Might not be correct, but seems to work.

@RCK605, that looks correct.
@comegetjoe, a replacement can be found at most ACE hardware stores, or similar store, that carries the hard to find hardware.

I like that. Might have to grab another bolt and go about it your way.

This little guy goes to a key fob and TPMS receiver. Ill have to double-side tape this guy somewhere local.

Instead of using the small spacer I used a nut. Then when you take off the kick plate it just one nut to unbolt instead of a nut and allen wrench.

I drilled the firewall hole a little bigger and reversed the bolt as the head is smaller diameter than the nut. add all the spacers like the other link shows.

My fob receiver box is all mangled. Its supposed to clip into the firewall. Thats why I said double-sided tape.

I went to a local pick n pull, hit 10 of the 11 Cobalts they had in stock to find a TPMS box that didn't crumble in my hands.

Ebay link for a TMPS sensor box. These seem to be stupid expensive and stupid fragile. Anyone have one laying around? One theyre not using?

Second question. This is also a remote fob box, too? Right? What kind of havoc does this play on the security if its not plugged in?

3rd. I purchased one of those obd2 tools that eliminates all lights on the dash. Does that affect the TPMS also?


I got back onto the harness today. Managed to complete all of the front connections today, sans the radiators, fan and horn. Little bits at a time.

Full of questions.
This is some sort of electronic check valve in the brake booster vacuum line. Where do I plug this in? Does it get plugged in at all? There is nothing in the harness for it. Eliminate it? 2009 ss/tc donor.

You can skip the TPMS/keyfob box if you want. It's not mandatory.

You have a turbo donor, what did you do with the check valve at the brake booster?

Now you're asking a lot.

I honestly don't remember, I'm sorry. If you don't have an answer by the next time I take my hood off, I'll check. (There's a good chance that me not remembering means there's no check valve at my brake booster)

 

[Desert Sasqwatch]

I believe that check valve works in coordination with the anti-lock brake system. Since we don't use the ABS I would venture a guess the check valve is not needed. To be certain the wiring schematics should be reviewed to see where that plug goes - BCM or ???
