I feel like I'm goin crazy. removed my burnt alpine ida-x001 last weekend and replaced with the new ida-x305 tonight but cannot locate that big power connector for the ac/dash panel. it took me a bit to remove and I'm not sure if I pushed it out of the way somewhere but cannot locate it to reconnect!! check the pics and if you know what I'm missing let me know please. this is why you shouldn't disconnect things and 3 days later try to reconnect haha. Its the big power connector in the lower of bottom pic.

since its now 8:30cst I'm going to ride around another day and try to locate this connector out in the sunshine and with two other coworkers lol. I feel stupid I can't find this gd connector to button everything back up tonight but..I searched for all of 2 mins then posted here. I must have pushed that thing out of the way somewhere...

If anyone has a pic showing it being removed from the panel I could trace it.

EDIT: FOUND IT!! I pushed that sucker so far up under the dash out of way it took an LCD panel light to locate it. doesn't help that I have to do everything in the pitch dark garage cause I work 60 f-in hours/week...

I'm now laying more dynamat on my shifter tunnel...amazing how much drivetrain sound emanates from that tunnel...my car should be much quieter..and audio much cleaner with the extra dynamat.

Glad you found it in the end. That sure is a nice mess of wires you have there

yep, wire tied and taped the connections back up the shop hadn't soldered/shrink wrapped hence their "well its worth it for $55/hour" statement lol.

I'll know every wire/screw/part on this car soon. Can't ever sell it...hope the 11's don't change the chassis or all this is for naught
