Can someone help me modify the stock upshift light to be controllable? I no longer have the computer in the car, so it doesn't work at all, but I would like to keep my interior clean of most aftermarket gauges. Any way I can get this upshift light to work?

 

Some great ideas here. http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=846787

 

Pretty simple. Take a look at the gauge cluster wiring/pin out diagram in the link below. All you will need to do is splice into the wire and voila!

Is the 92 cluster same as the 89?

 

Similar in that both will have a wire running from the shift icon to a pin on the connector. You can check this out too: http://www.austinthirdgen.org/mkport...uges_part3.gif
Looks like you would want the tan and black wire. :-)

 

Hmm. I wonder if someone could do a picture tutorial for me. It would be much appreciated.

 

Ok, remove your gauge cluster and take a look at the back of it and find the spot where the shift light is. Then follow that wire to the connector at the back of the gauge cluster. Then find the corresponding wire that plugs into on the car's connector. Then simply splice into the wire using any array of cheap splice connectors. You just need a controller to turn the light on now.

 

And where could one find a cheap controller?

 

Summit, Jegs, eBay... Any of these sites would probably have one. You just have to look!

I bet I could find one within 5 minutes on google, but I'm gonna make you look for yourself, teach a man to fish kind of deal.

 

you already have a controller on a7 of your ecm

 

He doesn't have that anymore. Must've gone carb.

 

Opps never mind than

 

Well I didn't CHOOSE to go carb. Lol. Its just how it was when I bought it last year.
