Wiring is the same other than the adjuster. 92-95 is mechanical adjust, 96-99 is electrical.

Right on the momey Bill.. there is only one other difference and that'* minimal. it'* the english/metric ground wire being included further down stream. Has no real reference in the big scheme for this project.

So you guys know, Ed didn't send me the FSM pic, which would violate copyright laws...

Anyway, thanks for the info guys. I suppose the later, electric height control would be best since I don't know where I'll be mounting the controls. I've got my FSM, so it should be easy. I'll have to figure out how/where to mount the unit in my dash

The swap should be outlined in a post by Bandit back a year or so ago.

You need the dashboard (for the opening and trim panel), an fsm for the wiring schematics and say a day or so.

Overall it'* pretty easy and you tap in 8 wires to the dash harness.
