the stocker is not a lighted switch. you've got 3 wires. Power, overdrive on and overdrive off dashboard illumination.

 

as i said, just run the wire for remote/power antenna to from the radio to the power input. then just ground on the floor where the shifter mounts. and as for testing just try it. remote-turn-on to one of the shift wires, and ground to the other, if that doesn't work then there are only 2 ways it can be done with 2 wires, well if your smart and don't put them together and short everything.

DTN the o/d button probably isn't compatible anyways, on the aftermarket if it is and o/d. stocker as ericy said should probily just be tucked under the shifter. I'm guessing that its is just a light on the aftermarket. otherwise only one wire will hook up and come out (o/d power). common sense there, power in wire and power out wire, the way they are hooked up doesn't matter. when button pressed connection current allowed through one wire to next, button unpressed the current to one but not both.

before doing a whole lot of wiring, id first try using a wire with a 5amp fuse in the middle to (so not to damage anything)to the battery (for hot). then just using a ground wire from the battery as well (no fuse needed). then hook one up to each of the shifter wires if no light comes on and is indeed a button press it and see if the fuse blows. this will tell all about the shifter.

 

^^ You are straight up talking out your ass. There is an overdrive button. No light on the shifter. It's a switch. No light. Power is already at the shifter. NO need to run power. You're starting to piss me off. A freakin' switch is compatable. Switches are NOT usually 3 wire. You can't short anything out as those three wires are ment to be shorted by the stock switch.

DO you even realize what is happening here?

She's got 3 wires. I need colors of those wires to give advice on how to properly hook up the switch on the shifter. Again, there's no light and everything that is needed is on the shifter and that old button.

It's a 3 wire system that needs to go to a 2 wire system and using the color code system properly is the way to hook up the switch.

 

to each their own. whatever you think is ugly, it may be beautiful in another's eye.



i have a cover from the old shifter that will cover all that, silly.

 

foxxy: give us the information. ALL colors on the wires.

 

okay, i got the damn pics. they're better this time!

the color on the wires are yellow, black, and red, ALL WITH TWO WHITE STRIPES!
here's a pic for better visual:

the o/d button that it's attached to right now is from the stock leather shifter that was on it before.

and the top view of the shifter, big button for shifting, and little button, as i'm told is for turnin on/off overdrive
absolutely NO LIGHT on that shifter



here's the whole shifter,(i moved the wires from cig lighter and tape player so you can see what your lookin at) with the two black wires held out, for vision of where they're coming out from shifter. i also wrote down EVERYTHING that it says on those black wires:
AVSS 2.5 SGMM SAMSOONG 2001



and socks, here's the cover i'm talking about for that "ugly part"

 

dtn, you need to change your tampon lmao.gif

you don't always know everything.

and it was CLEARLY stated that there was a yellow, red/white, black. it was also clearly SEEN in the picture of those colors.. maybe not the stripe on the yellow one, but there was a BLACK, RED/WHITE, and a yellow, that was visually seen.

BLACK is ground..

hook up one of those wires to the black.

then touch the other wire to the one, and if it works, wire it up, if it doesn't touch it to the other wire, it should work.. easy as pie..

just run outside and do that, and it will work.. this is such a simple thing i can't believe we got two people in here arguing so much about it..

 

I'm at a friends house. I'll go through the schematics and give you a way to hook it up later. I just had to log on to tell socks this.

There is no ground. Sorry. There's hot-at-on power and 2 signal wires. If you hook the black wire to ground then you'll be screwed up. Also, I havn't spent over 2 years of military electronics training not to know everything there is to know about 12V electronics. I DO KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT HOW TO HOOK UP A SWITCH AND READ CAR ELECTRICAL SCHEMATICS. I'm quite offended by your post after reading that you believe that color code means absoloutely nothing and your display of ignorance.

Foxxy, you're going to hook up the red wire to the switch wires and one of the others. Try them both. I'm thinking that black is most likely your OD on and the yellow is the OD OFF light. Try hooking red to one of the black wires on the shifter and Yellow to the other wire on the shifter.

Also, as alex stated earlier, the correct way would be to hook the switch up to a relay and have it send power either to the od off light or the od on signal to the ECU. That would be more difficult and should not be tried by someone who does not know much about electronics as you could fry your car.

 

DTN pull that f***ing cob out of your ass! you dont know evrything or you would have already figured it out the day she posted!

 

Lol, vengful^
