cavalier digi dash problem

[vaggelis00]

i have fitted a cavalier digi dash to my calibra. i have used this guide http://www.akirwan.freeserve.co.uk/akhow2/cavdig.rtf but when it comes to the check control to work i cant get the 2 bulbs signs of. the other four checks (oil,water...) work as they were supposed to. i fitted an Astra GTE bulb fail module but it didnt helped me. any ideas?

have u tried pressing the break pedal ? when ignition on? and check all yer lights do work?

[vaggelis00]

yeap mate. i get the check signs always on without even turning the lights on

have you added the wire to the blue connector of the check control ??

add new wire to pin 1 of the blue connector and link to pin 18 White/Green wire (Tail/Dip).

add new wire to pin 2 of the blue connector and link to pin 24 & 10 Black/Yellow & Black/Grey wires (Brake Lamps).

i have wired this one but from the dash end i think i havent wired it because i dont know where

[Fraz]

no its not the blue dash connector it is the blue connector that is above the glove box for the check control

[vaggelis00]

i have wired it there. both pin 1 and 2 from the black connector

you add a new pin to the black connector of the check control box above glove box

from the new pin of pin1 you have just added to the black connector ...link this to the blue connector pin 18 of the blue connector of teh check control box

from the new pin of pin 2 you have just added to the black connector ...link this to the blue connector pin 24 of the blue connector of the check control box


is that what you have done ??

you do have standred back lights I take it....not led ones??

i also have connected pin 2 to pin 10 Black/Yellow & Black/Grey wires (Brake Lamps).

i have afterburners but i use load resistors to avoid the signs light on. at least this happened when i had the previous dash (the original)

[Fraz]

it all worked fine with mine even when I had the after burners fitted. Its been that long since I did mine I would need to haul it to bits to check how it was all done .....but we have never used the Astra check control bit as mentioned ..I think I just simply earthed the light connectors out on the check control so the light went out, but that then means you no longer have the check faculty working correctly

[vaggelis00]

finally i made it work with the astra check control because i wanted it to be working properly and not just turn of the bulb sign

[Fraz]

well let us all know how you did it then??
