For the last few months my car has basically been used for tip runs whilst getting rid of my old garage in preparation for the new one. Looking a little sorry for itself so tonight it’s been washed and polished with Auto Finesse vision, tripple and then glisten.... And it’s now looking rather smart!

Was the connector there behind the dash? They're colour coded for each switch so you'll know if it's the right cable/connector. If it's there it will be at the parcel shelf too

I retro-fitted a rear shelf with sunblind to my ZT and it wasn't as bad a job to do as I feared as long as you are careful, too me a couple of hours altogether. You don't need to remove the rear seat back - just fold it down. I think I just removed the base to gain access to the seat belt mounting.

if you have the connector behind the switch panel then you have the loom, you just need to unwrap the connector at the shelf.
