Why does this B5 connector look so different from the B5 - Body ECU No.1 that I posted up?

Is that from 2001+ yr model? I think mines is from 98-00 yr model. Do you think the B5 connector changed in 2001?

Can someone clear this up?

Pete,
The B5 connector that Gillexus posted is correct. It is located in the bottom of the junction block on the passenger side kick panel. The Body ECU No. 1 is in back of that junction block. The area in back of the junction block that you highlighted in yellow is actually where the Body ECU No. 1 plugs in. It is the same for a GS4 and a GS430. Hope this helps clear any confusion.

TAMR_GUS98
is correct
I hope this helps those that are waiting to install theirs. You have to take off only 2 screw that hold the ECU junction box down 10mm I think. Pull the box from the bottom enough to turn it outward to pull the B-5 connector down, it is A Bit##** and A mo*$#% to get a grip and pull on. I just wish I had these pic's when I did mine.

wires soldered and taped

Post Sense-O-Shock

Nice pics Gill, that should help everybody. I wish I had this information also. Hunting for that B5 connector was fun. It was the last thing I soldered when I did mine. Even with the electrical wiring diagram it was pretty hard to find.

I know LMW is going to post some instructions & pic soon, but It does not hurt to have too much info..
I've finally located all my pic's. There are only 6 wires to connect the sense-o-shock up That is for the GS 1998 + .
1 Black-to ground
2 Red- connect to "P P/Seat" 30A fuse
3 White- connect to "ST heater" 20 A fuse
4 Blue- B-5 connector Pin #9 violet/black stripe wire- back and bottom of fuse box (ECU junction box)
5 Yellow -2-B conector pin #9 pink/black stripe wire. To the left of large thick single wire
6 Green- tap into foot courtesy light THE NEGATIVE SIDE, if you connect to positve wire you can fry the box.
more pics



this one was hard to reach, strip and solder.



The large thick wire is only for reference in helping to locate the 2-B connector

WoW!! ^^^ Very nice pics.. Especially of the Wiring Diagram and the very detailed and high-lighted areas on the fuse panel.. AWESOME..!!

Ok - What I have done is uploaded many pics into the CL Gallery, of the SOS install on a GS.
In the pics you will be able to read some key pointers. These pics along with the written install instructions should now make this install very easy.
I have left out the pics of the actual mounting points of the unit for security reasons.

Click on actual Thumbnails to enlarge pictures and to read descriptions!!!




more pics below

pics continued... would not let me add more pics above?? weird





OK - So remember these pics were posted to help out with the visuals of some of the more technical portions of the install.. The written install instructions should still be followed step-by-step. Also, by clicking each photo, it will link you to our Gallery here on ClubLexus. Each photo will give more detail information in the description area.

Now between the written install instructions, these visual pics and very good info posted by our fellow ClubLexus members, installation of the SenseOshock should be much easier for those who have yet to install..

Thank You for your patience!!

Joe Z

Hello everyone....

Just looking for some help..

I know a few of you in Florida brought your units to your local shops.. Do any of you here recommend a "GOOD" shop in the Orlando area that did the install on the Luxlink and SOS??
or can you point us to a shop that can handle this type of install??

If YES - Please post it here..

Thank You

Hey,
Basically, you just have to hook up to a power source. The red one needs constant battery voltage all the time even with the key in the off position. The white one you will need to tap into a power source that is only on with the ignition on.
Good Luck,
Will

I bought one of those fuse tap-ins but sense the fuse is one of those small ones I could not get it to stay on and still push the fuse back in. I just wrapped the wire around the fuse blade and pushed it back in.
