Squiz Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share Posted August 22, 2008 Well I'll tell you all something for nowt.The wiring in 2000 spec cars might be the same colour as earlier ones but it has sod all else in common in some areas.....No boot slam panel connections in them !Variable intermittent switch wont work in them !! and if you use the proper variable relay it wont even park the wipers some bits clip straight in and work.Some bits just dont work full stop hehehe aah well less electrical stuff to go wrong I guess.

hicksy Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 A few of us said about the wiring in a post you made before lol. Its crazy they have the high spec fuse box and random wires for other bits. For the 6 speed wires i ran wires from the fuse box to the back of the stalks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squiz Posted August 23, 2008 Author Share Posted August 23, 2008 Can you PM me some info on that ??The stalk blocks are full I think but they wont work Asuming another live is needed to actuate the park and timed wipes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WezXL on FEOC-UK had the same problem with his... I think he said after LOTS of searching around on microcat, it turns out that it uses the scorpios fuse box! You can get the correct relay to go in, and it'll work without any issues! You're best to PM him, as I can't remember specifics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hicksy Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Right ive been out to the car and taken the steering column cowling off. On mine there was a spare slot in the plug on the back of the stalks so i got an old ISO lead and used the metal end of that to push into the plug for the stalkhttp://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w200/tomhicks1/DSC00543.jpgIts the orange wire on the far right Then i looked at the fusebox and i saw a slot in it(dont ask me why i tried that one but i did and it workedhttp://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w200/tomhicks1/DSC00547.jpghttp://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w200/tomhicks1/DSC00546.jpgon the left of the fusebox i saw the empty slot so again using the end of an ISO loom i pluged it in the fusebox (the 3rd slot up from the right.If i didnt write this in english then PM me and il try and explain it betterHTH Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 (edited) ^ is that all it needed the wire, to get the 6 speed part of the stalks working? for the late model finesse? Edited August 23, 2008 by Lordjc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
