Stg 1 problem, possibly on/off switch?

syntrix · 03-26-2004, 10:44 PM

I took me box off to have the tranny mount thingy fixed.

Hooked up the box and got a CE light. Can't get past 3k, car sputters up to there.

Tried switching to the off position... same thing.

Car works just fine without the CZ box.

Each time installing/uninstalling, power disconnected, brakes for a min with headlights/horn.

So I'm thinking either a switch or a connection inside.

Took it apart, there's 6 wires to the switch, and I don't now what to test.

Can anyone help me so I can maybe wire up the switch wires for testing? Got a track day in the AM and some extra umph would be great!

The switch looks like a normal two-pole switch...

The six connectors:

1 2 3
4 5 6

In one position, 1 & 2 are connected and 4 & 5 are connected
In the other posision, 2 & 3 are connected and 5 & 6 are connected

You could use an ohm meter to verify if the switch is working correctly or not...

Found it.... hopefully... one of the purple wires popped out of the connector, hope the pin comes out easy enough.... grrrrrr.

That was it. Connectors are a big pita to get out. After soldering and putting the connector back in, found out that a little bit of solder trickled down into the opening..... Worked with it a little.... wire broke again!

Just a tip Maurice, copper wires bend and forgive a little more than the silver stuff!

Thanks for the pinout, never needed it but someone else might need it someday!

I'm back and ready for tomorrow!
