Shift Light Wiring Question.
Posted: Thu Aug 27, 2009 4:49 pm
Hey Guys,
Just wondering if anyone can hep me.
In my previous lancer (04 CH) I had a Gizzmo Dual Stage Shift Light wired in. I'm in the process of installing the same shift light into my CJ however I have stumbled across a hurdle.
It's a simple 3 wire set up: Power, Earth and Signal. The signal wire is normally connected to the tacho signal wire, however I've discovered the CJ doesn't really have a tacho signal wire due to the CANBUS wiring system. Once I discovered this I emailed Gizzmo Electronics to confirm weather the signal can be taken from a coil pack and they confirmed it could, this leads me to the problem.....
I'm not sure which wire to tap into off the coil pack? There is 3 wires that go into each coil pack: A wire from the ECM, a wire to the fuse box and an earth wire.
I'm leaning towards the earth wire as its common to all 4 coil packs but again i'm not really sure lol.
Can anyone that has some knowledge in this help? lol
PS: Below is a diagram of the wiring of coil pack 1 and 2.
