What do you use to make sure that you computer doesn't get soaked? Do they have to breath? thanks. I heard of people putting them in their glove boxes but I doen;t see how?

Here's how. :D

The wires don't exactly want to make the trip, but you can talk them into it. If you want to lengthen some of the wires you could make it real clean.

On my 90 there was plenty of wire to move it up behind the glove box, I just had tounwrap it from the other wire looms it was wraped around. I mounted it to the tubing that is under the dash and cut a small amount out of the glove box. If I get into water that deep I will have more thing to worry about then the computer.!!!! :grinpimp:

If you're getting into water deeper than the back of your glove compartment, I think sealing the computer may be the least of your worries.
