VR wiring Loom issues

[JGlinatsis]

Hello I'm having trouble with the Loom in my VR executive the loom is a VR Calais I have the BCM and the auto ECU but i think i have done something wrong the headlights wont turn off (Even with the key out) the fuel and temp gage go to the top when the car isnt even started or anything no injectors or fuel pump not kicking over the stage 3 dash doesn't light up but the 2 gages seem to have power going to them but not at the right time so have i missed something i was thinking an earth wire but i cant find one that isnt earthed tail light work no indicter's any suggestions??

Did you change the dash and body loom?

[JGlinatsis]

Yes i did full body loom and I have a caprice dash

So you replaced the loom that goes from the criuse control around to the drivers side and into the cab. The dash loom that goes across to the all the switches and glove box? (did you chage the climate system heater box or wiring?) If the lights are staying on then possibly something of the VR electrical system remains and should be replaced by the donor Calais. The head light switch needs to be changed too.

im using the old heater box for now I know it wont work dont have one atm and dont really need a heater i noticed that there was an extra plug for the headlights on the new loom but didnt think it would make much of a differences and all the looms have been changed but the doors and the engine bay loom but the whole body loom is different i can upload pics if that will help

The extra plug on the headl light loom is for the fog light switch.

Do you have plug No 3 up the correct way? (orange plug drivers side). Have you used the Calais head light switch?

The head light switch is different to the Exec (I'm sure I've been told that) - go get one (Calais) and that may well solve the issue of you.

Check the head light plug wires on the dash between the looms - I'm sure they are different.

When I add spot light plugs to my patch looms I only use the blue wire out of the plug I cut out of the L3 loom. The Exec loom has some grey wires missing from the Calais loom and this points to the head light switch being different.
