I need help, I'm installing hsv ve gauges and I can't seem to get the lights to turn off. Going by car modded tap into the body module but I can't do that. It's too hard basket. Is there a easier way?
use the smokers pack plug behind the console on the right hand side below the stereo head unit for power,lights etc.
as glenho says thats where i've got mine from as well (hows it going, managed to get some red leds for mine instead of lamps) we've both done this mod lol
Illumination wire I connected it to body module pin 24 brown plug. When gm LAN + wire is disconnected, the lights for the gauges work like they should on and off etc. but when I connect the gm LAN + wire the lights won't turn off, they stay on even if I turn the headlights off.
yes mate,just run your wire for lights to the plug at the back of console and connect it in and bobs your uncle
Bottom right hand side under head unit.youll see the white plug.thats for the smokers pack.sounds like your gauges are getting a 12v+constant power source from some where else.
Ok so I ran 12v ignition wire to power to that white plug u said. Lights work like they should on off etc but if the gm LAN + wire is connected to pin 3 black brown the volts start working but I can't turn the lights off. Lights only turn off when gm LAN + is disconnected. I can turn them off and on etc
That's okay but can u do me a favor and read that car modded instructions on how to install hsv ve gauges and let me know I that sounds correct
I have checked my wiring and checked it again the only thing I can come up with is that when gm LAN + wire is connect that it's doing two things giving power to lights on the gauges and also making the gauges work. Gm LAN - does the same I just found out
so youve sorted it?ive only got the twin pod setup which is an easier install.sorry i cant help more.
No I've done something bad. Lost communication with abs control module. Now nothing works. Car says abs fault, ESP off, contact dealer, could this be a fuse? Or have I done something I going to regret
All sorted was a fuse. Gave up on the install, I just whacked it all back together, everything is working except I can't turn the lights off. Over it.
