Auto electrician required

No, that was a piece of piss - the manual says where every component
is, anyway.

What was your sugesstion? To unplug the immob amp? Cause I tried
that weeks ago, to no effect.

A Paper clip is too large a guage to stick down the back of a
connector block. I've just about managed it using thin gauge
lockwire, but it is unbelievably fiddly, hence it's taken me 3 hours
to do the 50 odd pinouts on the road ECU.

I might have been twice as fast with two hands...

 

Unplug and join some pins iirc.

No, you muppet.

I posted it here and emailed it to you.


Here it is again:-

Champ,

I've had a good look at the US, race and non-US diagrams.

Could you try this:-

Remove the Immobiliser Amplifier.

Get a short piece of wire and connect the BL/R and BK wires on the socket
that the Immobiliser Amp plugs into.

(BL/R = Blue with red stripe, BK = Black)

According to the "Other than US/Camada and Kuwait" diagram these are on the
right hand side of the socket with one unused pin between them.

(on the XPS diagram they're still on the RHS of the socket but the unused pin
isn't there, BUT the colours are still the same and they are the same wires).



The race ECU has 0V fed into 4 pins, 12V comes into 6 pins. The road loom
supplies 0V on 3 of the 4 pins, the fourth being the BL/R wire going to the
Immobiliser amplifier.

The road loom provides all the 12V feeds (although one of them is slighlty
different, its hard wired to 12V while on the race loom its only fed 12V when
the starter button is pressed).



Let me know if that works.

I've reposted it for the old man.

 

Sorry - didn't get any email, and didn't see it here

That effectively sends the blue to earth, yes? Which is what the race
kit diagram shows.

I tried that this evening, to no avail, I'm afriad.

Yesterday and this evening I documented all the pinouts on both ECUs.
I'll send you my results - what's a working email address for you?

I've been practising that for years.
