Default Re: PARTSGUY - NEED HELP PLEASE

Hey guys back at you with some additional info:

1. To the best of my recollection, the Microheat Hot Shot unit (The black box that heats the fluid) is the exact same unit that GM uses. This box looks exactly the same as the one GM uses.

2. The switch, wiring harnesses, and mounting bracket provided by Microheat are different than the ones used by GM. I bought and used the GM mounting bracket with my Microheat Hot Shot unit. You cannot use the GM wiring harnesses located in the engine compartment unless you also replace your entire dash wiring harness - too much work and expense as far as I'm concerned.

3. The 2006 LE has the switch mounted on the drivers side of the dash below the AC vent. I used this space to mount my bluetooth phone setup so I mounted the HotShot switch on the center verticle dash piece in front of the shifter handle, to the far left side of the cigarette lighter & the 3 12v sockets. It fits and looks great in this spot which also enables you to hide the wire behind the dash without seeing it.

Hope this info is of value.
