So my fiance has an '88 Formula among 2 other F-body vehicles (yes she is a member of this forum). We are trying to get her exhaust cut-out to work. I can manually move it slightly with a screw driver (just made sure it wasn't stuck). I followed all the wiring back from the cutout. There's no power going to the switch that controls it, though all 6 (yes 6) wires are connected to the switch. From what the previous owner told us... We have to connect 2 red wires (which I did) and the green LED then lights up. When this happened, you push the switch and the bypass opens. Well... no power going to the switch usually means no green LED lighting up and no cut-out opening........

Anyone have a diagram of how an electronic cut-out is supposed to be wired? Thanks!

 

did you ground the switch if not the light will not light up
the switch has how many connections?

 

That's the thing.. I followed back all the wires I could and the positive wire just loops off the switch. I'll get photos next time. If I had a diagram it'd be simple. There are 6... yes 6 connections on the damn thing.

 

if you think about it 6 is not that much you know the power window switches in the ta have a lot of wires also 6 i think, you need power ground common power/ground for up and then power/ground down also see it the system has a relay if u got some pic i could try to help you.

 

Understood. I'll get pics next time I am at her place... Friday at the latest. Thanks for the help!

 

no prob

 

Still haven't been to the girls house.. lol.. will be there Friday through Sunday culminating in an F-body meet Sunday.

Anyway, there is a light gray plug looking thing (could be a relay or sorts?) that's part of it... but I forget where the wires go. I swear I followed everything and no hot wires exist.

 

my cars stupid...i kno. lol. they all are...for the most part...
