Relocating ECU LEDs and diag switch

[Nate94XE4x2]

At some point, I've seen a post and how-to on making a remote box that allows you to enter The different modes of the ECU and view fault codes via a box mounted on the dash or center console. Anyone know where I may have seen that?

Conversely: It is possible to remove the ECU from its location under the passenger seat and mount it in the passenger side footwell without additional wiring. There is more than enough wire and it runs from there TO the footwell!

Put it in the glove box if you are concerned with raising your water line.

I'm going to be installing a mini led volt meter into the dash, it was one of those "I bet I can fit that" moments. Lol it was only $1.50. The size is 1 in x .5 inch thickness. It's pretty tiny so it's about the same size as the digital clock. I want to put it behind the plastic window on the speedo side. There's a gap between where the gauge is where the two wires can feed thru without having to drill holes. I know black wire goes to ground and I guess red wire goes to ignition 'on'. I want it to illuminate only when the truck is on and running.

Just saw this and will probably do this in the future. Will make things nice for preforming checks.

I did this on mine. Haven't had a trouble code to run since I did it, but it's kinda fun to leave it in mode 1 and watch the oxygen sensor.

That is something I was thinking of. You can monitor that and its easier to check codes without having to go upside down
