Trip computer into an SE8?

[Fraz]

If your car is not wired for a fuel computer

You will need a connector.

Connect up the following wires to wires of the same colour:

Red to clock connector red +12v power
Black to clock connector black ignition
Browns to clock connector brown ground
Grey/black to instrument connector illumination
Blue/black to instrument connector fuel tank sendor


If you are replacing a digital clock/temp display you can connect up the following wires dirrectly to its old plug

Blue Temperature
Blue/White Temperature
Blue/Red Speed
Grey/black Illumination

Otherwise :

The Blue and Blue/White wires need to be run under the bonnet to the temperate sensor

The Blue/Red wires should be connected to the wire of the same colour at the radio, instruments or ecu connector (see below)

Locate the 3 square connectors under the engine ecu. Connect up the wires there of the same colour.

Red/White
Black/Brown


And the switches in the center console :


Switch common switch connector 6 brown/yellow
Reset switch switch connector 4 brown/white Convex rear
Hours switch switch connector 3 brown/blue Right
Mode switch switch connector 2 brown/red Concave front
Minute switch switch connector 1 brown/black Left


You should be left with a brown/white wire and a brown/red wire used for diagnostic’s
