You can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs Ali.
It looks complicated from a bystander's point of view, but dealing with one wire at a time is the way to get through the project.
Keep up the good work.

So the goal for today is to get the coolant pump controller Arduino installed then the charger.
While the new VCU can theoretically send the required 2hz PWM that the coolant pump needs it is not simple and I have another reason to go with the Arduino, ie controlling overnight timed charging.
The pump needs to be running correctly before I try to charge the car to avoid damaging the charger.
I'll report back later with the progress.

OK so a couple of days late but we have it charging again. 
ATM The coolant pump is going full tilt as I had an issue with the Arduino, and I can't schedule for overnight charging yet but that will be next.
I had to rewire some of the 12V components so they would come on when the Zombieverter called for charging and I had to change some parameters in the VCU itself but so far so good.
