"Driver Side-
Red wire from Gobo connects to the Red wire w/ White stripe.
Black wire from Gobo connects to the Grey wire w/ Black stripe.

Passenger Side-
Red wire from Gobo connects to the Red wire w/ White stripe.
Black wire from Gobo connects to the Tan wire w/ White stripe. "


Drivers side installed perfectly. Except for the fact that in the process of disconnecting the connectors from the door panel I accidentally broke off the mechanism for the Trunk Release button. Havent gone to the Chevy dealer yet to see how much that little assembly is going to cost me. Yeah for me. Thank goodness the keyfob has a trunk release button in it!!

Anyways.. back to my story.

Drivers side.. perfect.

Passenger's side.. not so much. On the passenger side, the wire isnt exactly "Red".. it's more of a faded orange color.. but it does have the white stripe as mentioned in the directions. Tapped into it.. nothing. Thinking maybe it was the wrong wire, i also tapped into a solid "red" wire also in the bundle. (also an orangish red color, not really red). Nothing.

So.. fellow C5'ers.. who has installed GOBO's in their doors, and has the secret to success for the passenger door dilemna?


Also, if anyone wants to ease my burdened soul and provide a link to some sort of Camaro parts manual so I can look up my demised trunk release assembly, I would be eternally grateful. Couldnt take more than 10 minutes to take the door panel off and install a new assembly, but i'm sure its still not going to be cheap.
