what was it?

heres what i wrote while i was sat in my car just after i had done it.

F**KING F**K YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i have the dash working!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wrote down all the colors of the spare wires and then looked through the wiring diagrams for them. it was a blue/white wire which originally came out of the ECU and went to a junction box then it split, one to radio and one to fusebox. the one that went to the fusebox came out and went to the dash; so i thought this one might be the problem. Also when i was driving i could here the speed through the speakers..... remember it split at the junction box and one went to the radio.

I earthed it in the bay and it worked!

next problem - gears!

edited due to over excitement and stupid things wrote lol

so yeah, one of the many unused wires in the bay just needed to be earthed. i thought when i found it on the diagram, "where is it meant to go if i dont have the old ecu and thats where it used to go...."

just needed to sit down and go over the diagrams in depth

blue/white is usually speedo sense, bit strange that it fixed it? oh well, as lonmg as your speedo works who cares

wasnt that blue/white wire. i did see another on the diagram i think. this strange yes. on the diagram it went from the ecu through a junction box and split, one to radio and one to dash. that was it, no more info on it. thought i'd earth it and there you go! although now i can see how much fuel im using, which is annoying! lol
