    Default few issues after doing a lvl 3 dash upgrade

    was just putting it all back together today when i realised a few things

    1. everything works well dash wise except when i indicate... it indicates twice as fast and also sets off the fuses making them rattle and a long beep noise

    2. the car doesnt seem to fire up either :S so not sure if the dash upgrade has effected this or just because the car has been sitting in the garage for a while

    please help cheers

    Have you disconnected the engine loom plug to fit the ECU wire (yellow black)

    Also check that the 3 dash plugs are up the correct way

    The loom plugs should have pink black wire top left on the left and middle plug and orange white top left on the right plug (except for the speed alert looms that have a light green wire in the left plug and then the pink black)

    What loom have you installed? if it's a level 3 loom then you will have issues with the lights as they are wired differently to the L1 &L2 looms. The A/C is also wrong with the executive cars as they dont have climate control in the cars as the Calais has.

    The only time it effected the starting for me was I forgot to plug the engine loom back in after fitting the yellow black wire into the plug.

    The HSV L3 looms are a L2 with the 4th plug grafted into it factory style. So it should be OK if you have plugged it in the same way it came out of the HSV car.

    okk sweet yer didnt touch anything around the ECU was able to plug the yellow and black wire in without touching anything else and on the otherside fairly sure thats all connected properly so that just means i have another issue aha
