Troubleshooting and removing wiring the iMIEV on the floor

Now that the iMIEV is on the floor is time to try and get it running just like it was before I pulled it all apart.
Now with all the sensors plugged in and the J1772 plugged in properly Everything is on the dash is fine!

with the iMIEV in D the wheel speed sensors wont pick up anything as its not on the vehicle and the motor just spins at a wavering "idle" speed which i guess will be the car trying to put load on the drivetrain to creep the car forward.

The process of cutting out all the unnecessary wires is very very time consuming, all of the door connectors are gone and most of the unused plugs are gone and the iMIEV still starts up like it should. I still need to go through all the connectors and find dead ends as the more wires i can cut out the better.
Im hoping eventually i will be able to cut out the abs system entirely although for now im sure a box in the BMW filled with iMIEV parts will do.
