I found a link that has all the electrical harness information for the Odyssey 2007 touring so I have printouts of the harness so now to wire. So I would need +/- for both the clutch and the motor. Then i would need another line to the motor to tell it what direction/polarity right? What would I then send to the clutch? An engage/disengage? Would I send direction to the clutch as well? Here's what I believe is the wiring harness: |

It sounds like there is a real danger of getting locked inside this pod. :lol |

What do I look for specifically? Is there a voltage amount in resistance I'm looking for? I'm familiar with the voltmeter but not 100% so I'm not entirely sure how I see what a pin does on a motor when hooking up the voltmeter. |

You know the yellow wires go to the clutch and black is probably ground. If one of the remaining wires is thicker than the others, it's probably power. That leaves the remaining two as controls. If you popped the little control box apart, it would be easier to tell. |
