Thanks, Mr. Sarcastic, lol. I meant the Oil Temp in degrees C, and the gauge in Kpa.

I'd have written that I agree with you, but that would not have been as much fun. Not that agreeing with you isn't fun, but that being sarcastic is.

Looks Good John!


are you planing to put the smokers package in, or are you leaving it like that?

What's the smoker's package?

IIRC, new cars don't come with ashtrays and other similar amenities. A smoker's package adds that.

I'm not gonna take the console plate off again until it gets warmer so I don't risk breaking it. The original cracked at the thin point above the mirror controls. I haven't decided yet if I'm gonna put it in. I am going to put the rear one in though.

Rad is correct, But thats not why its being brought up in this case..

in this case, the smokers package looks like this when installed..

Ah, so instead of the kind of ugly 12v PP and the cubby, you have a cover that exposes an ashtray and a cig lighter. makes sense. I like the cubby there though. That'd be the perfect place for a phone, or in John's case, a garage door remote. We have the same ones for our garage at home, LOL.

Hey Pete, do your guages work when you use the remote start? I haven't gone back in to check the wiring yet, but the two times I've used the remote start, the guages don't work, and won't work until I leave the car for a while and come back. Even if I turn the car off, open the door to turn of the RAP, and start the car again with the key.

*dang*, I love that interior.
I know most cars Ive owned with remote start, most accessories and gagues such as that do not funtion until the key is turned on....?

Yeah, I put the key in and turned it to Run. I can drive around, turn the car off, open door, close it, and start the car, and they still don't work.

that is not an issue that I have.

my only current issue is illumination (they are alway lit, even when the others are off)

If I recall you said you picked a random one or the brown wires in the harness? and there where more then I said mine had?
I would try switching the wire to see what you get.

Oh yeah, mine had three brown wires instead of two. Would no CAN LOW signal prevent illumination and any needle movement?

I was just going threw me write up on GRRRR8. there should have been Two brown and One Brown/black. are you sure you didn't make a mistake there?

Three brown, and one brown/black, one light blue, and one black. Which pin did you connect your CAN LOW to?

For easy reference, this is have the wires should have gone.
B1(12v) > Lt Blue
B2(Illumination) > Yellow
B3(Ignition) > Pink/Blue
B4(ground) > Gound to body
B5(CAN High) > Brown/Black
B6(can Low) > Brown

I'll either have to pop the panel off my car and look, of see if I have a clear enough pic to show me..

would you be availiable to call if I pop the panel off?

Yeah, anytime. You've got my number.

Mine CAN LOW would be connected to the purple wire in this pic, which is one of the three brown wires on the other side of the connector:

did you take and pics of youe wiring harness I want to know if the colors on the colume side are atleast the same as mine..


( it should make things easier to discribe over the phone, if they are the same)

EDIT, looks like we both think alike
