If I am not mistaken, most cars already have the proper harness installed, even if the option is not. Check behind the dash (where the trip computer and also the "info" switch go) to see if you already have the harness.

Look one e-bay. The harness for the switch is there but not for the cluster to computer.

Yes the switch harness should be there. But the one from the trip computer to the cluster you should need.

The info switch position is to the right of the sunroof switch and to the left of the defrost switch. The connector should be just behind that blank panel. If you have you owners manual it will show you where the switch should go.

I did see a harness located there but in my handbook it looked like the traction control switch would go there

On my car the switches on the right hand side go Tracs-Sunroof-Info - Defrost. Mine is a '94. If your owners manual for your year shows a different arrangement I would defer to it.
