yea, i dont like it when people accuse other of "knowing everything" and tell them they dont. everybody have their own stuff they are very knowledgeable about, and others, different things. ....

 

foxxy, sorry ur dumb, but quote from him "I DO KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT HOW TO HOOK UP A SWITCH AND READ CAR ELECTRICAL SCHEMATICS"

and even so everyone can be wrong as i was about the thinking it was a light due to unclear pictures.


now back on the better side, im sure you or fetish have a test light, if not buy one from the dollarstore. test witch wires show 12v (clip test light onto shifter base and prob wires with test light, write results of each wire with O/D on and when off). then test witch shows a ground (Use a 12v source grounded to your car for the clip and prob the wires, write results of each wire with O/D on and O/D off.

after you've done this, post your results back here.

 

That won't work. They're signal wires. LOL. Signal wires generally use sensing voltage.

The schematics are wrong. I can't really do anything from here.

I can tell you to try connecting all three wires together with your hand and then remove them one at a time. Once you find out which one controls the O/D off light, you've got the two which control O/D on signal in your hand. Connect those two each to one wire on the shifter. Crimp it properly and make sure you tape off and secure the O/D Off light. That's the only way you can do this.

 

what do the signal wires use to comunitacte with? diff amounts of valtage for each position right? i dont quite understand the logic of schematics. im guessing though that it may require a volt meter and a better knowlage of the O/D system than foxxy or a general mechanic(me). id recomend using the button for something else than an o/d button, due to mainly lack of a 'known perfect' solution, and relocate the o/d switch to the side of the console. also has anyone looked at the other auto shifter(non-leather option) and noticed if it has different wiring?

 

^^ a transistor turns on with MUCH less current flow then is required to turn on a light bulb. Sometimes none in the case of a MOSFET.

It's possible that if you connnected hot-at-on to the lamp line, the test light could illuminate extremely dimly, but maybe not because it's flowing right to another light. Depending on if the lamp would light under 6V, as 6V is also being dropped by the dashboard illumination, it may or may not illuminate.

One of those lines goes directly to the ECU. The ECU would not take 12V power to turn on the o/d it would turn on a transistor which would power another circuit which causes o/d and the proper response from the ECU and TCU.

So the logical soloution is to touch all of the wires together. The hot, the O/D on signal and the O/D off lamp indicator signal, then remove the lamp indicator and hook up the other two to the circuit.

 

wouldnt it be better to just not hook up the idicator light at all then?

 

two words: manual swap smile.gif

 

two more words: I agree ^

 

dtn, lose the attitude or don't even bother posting anymore. anybody who has spent any amount of time in the mess of wires in a tib knows that going by wire colors is one of the biggest mistakes you could make. i have even seen hyundai use different colors for the illumination wires. get off your damn pedestal and help people when you are NOT menstruating or just keep the fingers away from the keyboard.

warned

 

^^ radu and majik: lmao.gif i don't know how to drive a manual yet, and what good would that be!? LOL someday though, once i learn how to drive a manual, i'd like to get another tiburon, and a manual one at that.

so that'll be: 1 automatic tiburon, 1 manual tiburon. but first after i pay off this car, i'm plannin on gettin a pt cruiser before the second tib, my reason~to carry people around, i'm getting tired of trying to fit everyone in my tib lmao.gif

but for now, i'd like to get this shifter hooked up, and like i said, i do not want to simply test one wire on another in possible risk of "frying"/hurting my car.
