Hello all, I'm trying to repair/upgrade my 2000 Century Custom.
1) I am wondering if the harness wiring to the cluster allows for a switch to the Regals "tach" inclusive cluster? Less than an hour upgrade if they match.
2) Where should I begin looking on my wiring harness for the wiring to install a sunroof motor, I know a lot of GM cars had the wiring for many of the options/upgrades already on standard harnesses, should I begin looking inside the dash or behind the headliner, did they stuff them in the corner pillars?
3) My steering wheel is disintegrating, after 186,000 miles it's time for a change, did the steering columns all come with the radio & cruise wiring behind the air bag or am I restricted to a no frills replacement wheel which is what is currently installed?
4) Time for a new carpet & headliner, any recommendations on reputable fitting replacements or things I need to watch out for during installation?
5) Looking into replacing some cabin trim with the fake wood finish interiors for the dash, console and door trim. If someone has already replaced them, how do they wear over time and do they seem to fit within the OEM tolerances(don't pop out everytime the weather changes)?
6) Upholstery....well, I guess I'll work on numbers 1 through 5 over the next year or so first before I try to tackle a change from cloth to leather, after all, there are still a few things under the hood and a new set of front wheel hubs which need to be addressed by next spring too.
Thanks for any assistance in advance.
