a1k3m1: keep the site bookmarked, it's getting updated daily with new circuits. There's a project over there dedicated to the VT/VX Commodore, check it out if you havent already--- VT/VX Holden Commodore Modifications « Schematic-Diagrams.com

A more detailed explanation of how this can be done using circuitry, and very easily, can be found here VT/VX Holden Commodore Modifications « Schematic-Diagrams.com

Do you mean when the interior lights are on the light from that doesn't trick the headlights into turning off in the middle of the night? Scenario: Parked on the side of the road at night looking at a map with the interior light on, sensor detects light and headlights turn off. That circuit I...

If you're handy with a soldering iron, try this Disable Car Alarm Horn Beeping on Arm « Schematic-Diagrams.com

If you're handy with a soldering iron and you have nothing to do on the weekend, why don't you try to make an automatic headlights circuit yourself? I found this online and it's going in my VT berlina this weekend :D Automatic Light-Sensitive Headlights « Schematic-Diagrams.com

So if you get an oxygen sensor error every now and then, and you have a rough idle, would it be a good indication that the o2 sensor needs to be replaced? Sorry to hijack your thread, mr OP :P

Oh, I can't believe I never noticed before, but the engine light doesn't seem to work. The bulb is fine, what have I overlooked here? :S

Still waiting for my motor and a reply to my PM's..

Okay, so I have this rear electric window regulator that fell apart on me. It's off a VR acclaim, basically what's happened is the plastic bit that slides up and down the rail has come off and the cables have come off it. I can't for the life of me figure out how to get it back on, the cable...

Well I found the problem.. it seems when I installed the electric antenna, I bumped the ECU around and somehow broke the join I made for the 4th connector into the ECU, which apparently is for EFI on the cluster (strange that.. lol) Anyway, all is working perfectly again :)

Hey thanks for the reply, the DTE works on mine, and also when I put the cluster into diagnostic mode, the fuel sender voltage is read out, so I'm starting to think it's not a dodgy wire but an internal fault?

Hmm, well it was all working perfectly, but this morning when I drove my car to work I noticed the L/100k wasn't working. Inst was always on 0.0 and the fuel usage in the trip meter wasnt working. The odo and everything else works fine, except the KM left keeps increasing (probably because it...

So I'm assuming the km to empty is configured as it's driving? I took my car for a bit of a drive, under my normal driving conditions to let it get used to how I drive, hopefully it'll start giving accurate readings soon. I'm actually surprised nobody else has spoken much about the trip...

Well, I finally got around to it today (I have a 1989 VN Commodore Executive) so here's what I did: First off, print the diagrams in colour, they actually really did help! Compare the wiring and colours to that of which you have, and the old dash, just to make sure it all marries up. I...

I think the back 3 connectors are wired differently in SOME cars (I think S1 and S2 are different) as people have a similar problem with the wires needing to be swapped around when installing a level 3 cluster. But don't take my word on it..

Mate got a price for a full set of door seals?

Thanks for your replies :) The wire that goes to the ECU, is it one of them 'data' wires that sends all sorts of data through the 1 wire? For example would it send odo, and some other engine data? Just curious.. Will definitely have to go to the wreckers and find the 4th plug :p

oops double post :p

I have 2 quick questions: 1. Is there any reason we need a run a wire to the ECU to get an odo signal when there's some sort of odo signal already going to the dash (lvl2 dash has mechanical odo, is it the same signal that the lvl3 digital odo uses?) 2. If we plug the dash in WITHOUT the...

Well I found the problem to be in the front center console switch for the back passenger side door. As I understand it, the white/black wire (child lock) provides 12v to the switch for the LED and to provide power to the motor for use with the back switch, and the other 2 wires are the motor...

Having said all that, I didn't bother with a power window module - you don't actually need it.

Could be the wiring.. I've actually run into the same problem with my conversion (VN exec with VN calais parts).. check all the wiring is in good order. The back doors have 3 wires for the windows - the white/black wire is 12v when the child lock switch is OFF which supplies power to the switch...

I thought of that, and the wires are definitely connected correctly. I'll get back out today with the multimeter and test the power to each of the reg motors, hopefully determine where the problem lies. I'm still guessing it's the switch.

Well I got the 2 front windows in, and a window in the back on the passenger side. Something fishy is going on, because the front switch will wind the window (back passenger side) down no problem but it won't wind up.. you can hear the motor trying to move but it won't. The switch on the...

Oops, forgot to ask about the wires that appear on the far right hand side that arent labelled.. where do they go?? EDIT: just re-read the post you made above too regarding crimps, if I can't find the 4th connector I might just go that path... only problem would be how well they fit..

Okay, so looking at the ebay scabbed photo, YB78 goes into the cluster, YB65 goes into the plugs of the switch block??, YB62 is for the ECU connection (i'm assuming this is the wire needed for the speedo/odo?) and the rev light wire is for the REV light to work in the cluster? I'm wondering...

Oh cheers for that photo mate, I didn't see you edit the post.. :)

Oh true? I don't suppose you have a photo of it? Would the wires be coming from the back of the cluster where the other 3 plugs are? Only reason I ask is because I was at the wreckers today and the only VN Calais they have has the cluster removed, I couldn't see anything that was obviously a...

Hey guys, I'm in the process of getting the bits and pieces together to do this mod. I've got an 89 VN Executive, and I have a LVL3 VN Calais cluster on the way and switch block from VN Calais also. Could someone please put up a photo of this elusive 4th connector? I have no idea what it...

I'll take the left hand side rear electric window motor only please for $25 as offered earlier, plus postage of course. PM me your bank details and I'll do this ASAP :) Cheers, David

Damn! this could have saved me $50 a while ago lol

Yeah, sounds like some kind of dodgy wiring to me..

Well at this stage I'll just get the left side rear electric window motor for $25 plus postage.. (about 5 bucks?) because thats the bit I actually do need lol Cheers, Dave

Yeah, those switches.. on the left hand side is wipers/trip computer/etc and right hand side has cruise control, headlights, etc. Just need those 2 blocks of switches as they connect into the cluster and ECU for those functions. Sorry if I'm not making much sense.. i'm pretty sure it's...

Nah, it's around the cluster, has the lights/wipers/trip computer switches on it..

Okay you edited the post, lol.. $90 including freight sounds good to me.. i assume that includes the switch block (sorry I keep mentioning it, but it's important because without it the trip computer is useless lol) if that includes the switch block, we've got a deal!

The lowest price in your thread is $50 for the cluster.. does the switch block come with it? I'm very keen!

That looks awesome :)

Hey buddy how much would the cluster cost to send to 4510 QLD? I'm also interested in a passenger side (REAR) electric window motor (just the motor) I'd also need the switchblock for the trip computer and all that too, I'm assuming? Any bleeds in the LCD? Got a price including postage...

Hey mate, I'm after a left hand rear door electric window motor, the regulator I have is fine it's just the motor is flogged out. How much for the motor alone and how much will postage be to 4510 QLD? Cheers, Dave
