6. Now for reassembly. Carefully place the alarm module back into the glove box area where it was before and run the wires from the relay around and find somewhere to lay the relay. You could mount it somewhere with some double-sided tape or something. I didn’t have any so I just layed the relay next to the alarm module.



You may want to have a helper hold the alarm module up if it wants to keep falling out the bottom of the glove box area while you put the lower dash panel back in place. Be sure to reconnect the wiring harness to the foot well light and slide the lower dash panel back in place, lining up the heater vents with the holes in the panel. Tuck any wires back up above the panel.

Put the two lower dash panel screws back in but leave them loose! You will need a gap because the glove box has tabs with slots on both sides that slide in between the panel and the dashboard, with the screws fitting into the slot of the tab. (see red arrows in earlier photo) I should have taken a picture of this but don’t worry, it’s pretty obvious how it fits together when you look at it. Take the glove box and snap the flashlight charger back in and pull the wire harness for the glove box lamp through the correct opening in the top of the glove box so that you can plug the lamp back in once the glove box is in place.

Then just slide the glove box back into place making sure you get the tabs on the bottom in the proper position. Replace the 10 mm bolt first then the other six screws. Tighten down the two kick panel screws once everything is back in place. Plug the glove box lamp back in and snap it into place. You’re done!

And now a video for your enjoyment.

I would like to give credit to Titansilber for much of the wiring procedure and also to M3@Apex for additional help. Credit also goes to Pelican Parts for the glove box removal procedure and picture. Lastly, I can't accept any responsibility for you introducing problems or causing damage to your car. I think it’s a pretty safe mod though.
