Stang70Fastback Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 So I finally did this - the CORRECT way - using an actual pigtail, and I notice NO appreciable difference at all. Is there something I'm missing. I know it's not a grounding issue as I tried it both to a bolt in the floor (to which I have my amp grounded) as well as one of my toggle switches which I know is properly grounded. I inserted the pigtail into the blank spot in the plug which was the fourth over. Am I missing a step? EDIT: Nevermind, I'm a ****ing idiot. I grounded the fourth pin on the 16 wire connector, and after further watching the video again, it appears as though I should have done it on the 20-wire connector. FAIL. Now I'm pissed because the junkyard is closed on the weekend and I want to finish this damned mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennyfvholla Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Yeah... I had found them in my 96 FSM. It's the same in all of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrumphicus Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Hmmm... I think I have a mini toggle switch I had intended to use for a new wiring schema on my guitar. May have to put that on hold so I can do this one in stead. I don't quite get what he's doing in the video in stead of using a pigtail? Push the wire into the slot as you install it to the TCU and hope it stays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stang70Fastback Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Push the wire into the slot as you install it to the TCU and hope it stays? I did that (out of laziness) and months later it's still working! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrumphicus Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Just out of curiosity, did you use a switch? I have a DPDT ON/ON switch sitting around somewhere, I'm not sure how I would wire it for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stang70Fastback Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I did use a switch. I wouldn't want it on all the time. All you do is run the wire from that pin on the TCU to your switch, and then ground out the other pole on the switch. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7194/6891786483_5814da9608_z.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattmattyxcore Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Wow man that's a really nice way to mount switches, too bad it gets rid of your cup holders. Looking at the description and ease of modification, I HAVE to do this tomorrow morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And does your cupholder still hold cups after that? Looks pretty clean, btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stang70Fastback Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 From left to right: 3.5 mm auxiliary input, stock horn, train horns, power mode, FWD mode, USB input. I can no longer use the cupholder, but I never really used it, so I don't miss it at all. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7031/6849896035_8b28fc2721_z.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7066/6849898649_81473bd60e_z.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7025/6849899487_6bc3080bb5_z.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrumphicus Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 How do you wire in FWD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stang70Fastback Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Rather than installing a fuse in the FWD fuse holder under the hood, I simply stuck two wires in there and ran them to a switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegacyLou Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Nice neat job on the switches, The cup holder is junk anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOHCEJ22E1 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Stang, that is amazing what you have done with the cup holder face. I would never have thought of that. It looks more orderly than my FWD & Power switches in the center console! Lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrumphicus Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Probably not safe to switch on FWD while moving, is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOHCEJ22E1 Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Probably not safe to switch on FWD while moving, is it? It is safe to switch them on & off but it isn't safe to leave the FWD function on at high speeds. The solenoid was not designed to handle 100% duty cycle (but for some reason, the natural split in our autos is 90/10, so does that mean that the solenoid is at 90% duty cycle?) & there have been reports of people burning out their Duty Cs by leaving it on all the time.
