ECT Button Relocation

@Tacoweide, how did you screw the shifter knob back on with the wire attached?

 

Nice job!

 

Awesome. I was actually doing this with a pro know and integrating a button into the side red insert of the knob. Then stock non-pro knob makes it difficult to “hide” a button due to the design. Plus drilling into the fabric material.
Pair this with an auto ECT ON mod and it’s a winner

 

Looks like it’s screwed in and plugged in in the 6th picture. Just needed to pull up the chrome cuff to clip it in.

 

Connect the wires after screwing in, then tuck down before cuffing the Crome ring

 

Ah, yes! Thanks for jogging the brain cells.

 

Interested

 

Craziness! Glad I stumbled upon this thread. Such a good idea, I’ve never liked the ECT button placement. Staying tuned for pricing!!

 

So no fear of the wire binding in there or causing gremlins?

 

Great idea.

 

The factory button did not move and is still functional.

I see this was answered but yes, the button in the knob has a short pigtail and just plugs in after it's screwed back on.

Correct, I wouldn't anticipate any wire binding.

Yep, had to be careful not to rip a chunk off.

So, it looks like there's some interest. I will provide more details about the kit, price and ordering later today.

 

Since this is how I drive my truck. I agree, it's annoying,I like the idea and am interested!

Interested. Great work.

 

Subbed
Looks like a winner!

 

I'm in. Perhaps a red button for visibility.

 

As for drilling into the fabric just warm up an awl or a punch and touch it where you want to drill. It will remove the fabric where you need to drill and will keep the fabric from ripping or falling apart in the future.

All you need to do is wire up a timer relay.

 

You could also do away with the OEM ECT switch completely, freeing up a hole for a different switch

 

Just use a soldering iron. Works great for holes in fabric or carpet.
Interested. Want one
