Overhead console

[catesja]

Quick question...If the temp sensor is not hooked up, will the display always say 0C? When the temp sensor is hooked up, will I be able to change it to Fahrenheit? Right now if I push the E/C button it stays in Celsius.

I think the "OC" stands for "Open Circuit". I believe the other reading is "SC" when the wires are shorted - "Short Circuit".

And yes - there is a way to change between Fahrenheit & Celsius. As a matter of fact, when I changed to Celsius on the DIC, it ALSO changed my odometer from MILES to KILOMETERS! Kind of cool (I think).

Take Care,

I think that was the order they were in on the connector. The connector has a red sleeve on it also if that matters.
Is this the connector that goes to the DIC? I found it taped to the headliner over the passenger seat. There was also a shorter set of wires (2) that I could only touch and not pull out far enough to see. Not sure what those are for.

I would like to mod and add the DIC console to my van if I can.
The van came standard with the Dome light override, and the power rear vent windows. So those are the only switches in it right now. I also noticed that my Montana has the console clipped into the hole and not screwed in. It has lock washers on the top side that have to be clipped, it looks like, to pull it out of the van.

Any help would be great!

Wondering if I could email you about installing the Shorty overhead console, PM me if you don't mind.
Thanks.

Forgive resurrecting the necro post but I just picked up a 05 Montana. I have a 01 Montana with more bells and whistles. This includes the garage door opener in the overhead console. The 05 has the same panel but has a cubby for inserting a remote. I am wondering if I will be able to simply remove the opener assembly from the 01 and install it in the 05.

I guess the main question is, is the harness already there (or a connector to attach a harness to) somewhere under the headliner?
