Re: Good Enuff EV Wire Harnesses & Harness Kits
please forgive me for belaboring the point, but I think extracting the Lexus LS600h engine and transmission wire harnesses properly can safe some folks much grief, so here I am showing how the engine (ie inverter) harness on the left would have just plugged right in to the transmission (ie resolver ...

Hi - I already have the Lexus VCU board from this link: https://www.evbmw.com/index.php/evbmw-webshop/vcu-boards/gs450h-vcu
From your post it looks like you have a case - where did you buy this or is it 3D-printed?

Re: [DRIVING] 1971 GMCe Lexus GS450H BMW 530e Tesla Model S Electruck
I am just loving the modularibility of this Nissan Xterra center console shifter combo, bless this Nissan engineers for using screws and not those god forsaken plastic clips that get brittle over time and snap right off

Re: Toyota Inverter Connectors and Pinouts
Do you have to remove all the small pins before you can remove the 4 larger pins?
I have now worked on / built if you will about two dozen harnesses with this plug and have attempted numerous times to remove those 4 larger power and ground wires and have yet to do so, I will upload a pic of a ...

Re: [DRIVING] 1971 GMCe Lexus GS450H BMW 530e Tesla Model S Electruck
well this is where things got interesting, but first lets do a Mandatory Stare and Compare, of a 2WD shifter thingie vs a 4WD kind
looks like I got lucky and the prior owner kept this piece nicely oiled and greased to keep it from rusting

2. however it was 4WD instead of only 2WD so it came with the extra shifter foreskin

Re: [DRIVING] 1971 GMCe Lexus GS450H BMW 530e Tesla Model S Electruck
so let's see if this bad boy meets all my arbitrary needs:
1. 2WD (just cause its a cleaner look) - check
2. cable runs towards the back of the vehicle not the front - check
3. shifts as God intended (Park is lever back, Drive is lever forward) - check, check
4. two piece stand alone shifter ...

Re: [DRIVING] 1971 GMCe Lexus GS450H BMW 530e Tesla Model S Electruck
I didn't like the Chevy Blazer one because the shifter and the center console were all one piece and I would have to do some trimming to get it to sit flush on my trans cover, that and it was designed to operate a gearbox lever that hung down instead of pointing up, yes I could have flipped the ...

I liked the middle one the Chevy Tracker cause in my minds eye it would allow me to keep the center console that I already have so I started to mount its cable to the Lexus GS450h transmission when I realized this thing operated Bass Ackwards ! When the shifter was in Park the gearbox would end up ...

if you've seen the video above then you know I disqualified the Lexus GS450h OEM shifter based on being too fugly among other nuisances, so that meant it was time to pretend to be Goldilocks

No I don't think so, I think you are thinking of the Shift Lever Position Sensor which lives on the side of the transmission (editing that video as I type this)
