I TOLD YOU IN THE OTHER THREAD

USE A TEST LIGHT AND FIGURE OUT YOUR REVERSE LIGHTS AND NEUTRAL SWITCH. ONCE YOU DO THIS, THE OTHER TWO ARE FOR SPEEDO.

LIIIIIIIISTTTTTTEEEEEEENNNNNNNN TOOOOOOOOO MEEEEEEEEE PLZZZZZZZZZZ

The trip computer is not working cos the speedo isn't working, so the trip computer isn't getting the speed value to work out the calculations.

thats all good and well for some one who knows electronics, i have no idea, so some help would be good,

santoitaliano · 25-09-2006, 09:43 PM

basically get a test light or multimeter and connect it to a wire...

place it in neutral and see which wire lights up the globe... place in reverse and see which wire lights up the globe... etc... etc...

the top pins on the gearbox is ur nuetral switch, the 2 in the middle of the box is ur reverse switch, the speedo should plug in with a 3 pin plug that is round (all on p/side) . u can just bridge the nuetral switch so u can start it in first

eb91xr6 · 25-09-2006, 10:11 PM

where could i get a diogram, as colours would be easyer for me

Christiaan · 25-09-2006, 10:43 PM

eb91xr6, if you can't do it yourself, you shouldn't have done the conversion yourself. Take it to an auto elec and get them to finish it for you.

eb91xr6 · 25-09-2006, 11:42 PM

hey the car runs and i have been driving for the last few days, and its by far the best mod i have done, im not great on electronics but good at mechanics, cant be good at both.

eb91xr6 · 25-09-2006, 11:44 PM

the auto electritions wanted $80 to wire it up, i was hoping some one could tell me what goes where but looks like i will be paying to have it done as no one knows.

Kommandant · 26-09-2006, 02:32 AM

Surely putting a test light on a wire isnt that hard?

naughtyfalcon · 26-09-2006, 07:54 AM

yeah a test light or multi metre isn't that hard to use.

eb91xr6 · 26-09-2006, 06:10 PM

any one willing to help me

Kommandant · 26-09-2006, 06:12 PM

with my EA the manual conversion was plug and play... every thing worked... though with my fairlane the Rebeverse lights dont...

First thing id try is pull out ya speedo sender from the box and put ya auto one back in at least ya know that works...

eb91xr6 · 26-09-2006, 08:37 PM

i think AFF has gone down hill,

i use to get help but now your just saying that i should know, just because my post counts higher dosnt mean i know all, any one willing to help and not tell me that i should know what i am doing,

NudgE^SIKBRO · 26-09-2006, 08:39 PM

sorry man was i just trying to help

eb91xr6 · 26-09-2006, 08:43 PM

and your i got the right speedo gear in there, have changed that from the auto box,

SwarvJarv · 26-09-2006, 08:47 PM

really $80 isnt that bad, id do it for that, i mean the most you should have to do is use the loom from your auto find the reverse + neutral switch wires(2 wires Each) and then find the speedo wires (2?) all on your old loom, and then connect them to the right ones....

yeh no worries... when i put the manual in the Fairlane the speedo died... just up and went it worked with the auto... turned out that my cluster had died

eb91xr6 · 26-09-2006, 09:19 PM

im not to handy with electronics, can some one tell me how to use a test light to tell what goes where, im not real great with electronics

Christiaan · 26-09-2006, 09:26 PM

Mate

you don't even need a test light.

Just use the auto loom, and rip the plugs off the box end so there are exposed terminals, and put the 2 plugs that are closest to the rectangle part plug end of the loom on the two connectors on the top of the box, and the other 2 on the side of the box. Then plug the speedo in. Done.

look mate, the speedo plugs STRAIGHT IN its 3 wires in a red sheath, with the other ones, just put the car in reverse with iggnition on and plug the wires on untill the reverse lights go on, and then take it out of reverse and check it they went out, the other 2 wires go on the other 2 pins
