Help!

trying to put a new dash in my RS16i. Two main problems....

all the wires fell out of the ECU socket when I removed it. I have no idea which one goes where.. any idea which colour goes to which socket??

I can't get the steering column off. I've taken off the two nuts and two bolts holding it but it won't budge. An I missing something? do i need to take the steering column off or can I sqeeze this through the hole in the dash whilst still fitted??

Could really do with some help if anyone out there knows

Thanks a lot guys!!!

 

Here you go mate, you should see the numbers on the side of the plug that goes into the ECU

Terminal 1 Brown 2 Green 3 Red 4 Brown 5 Yellow 6 Black 7 White 8 Outer Sheath of crank sensor, tape wire 9 Grey 10 White / Blue 11 Blue 12 Yellow. Hope this helps. Number sequence is looking at the plug 1 top left 3 is next on top 5, 7, 9, 11.

Number 2 is bottom left, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12.

(thanks to 'whitelaw' from the RSBB for that )

Not sure how it comes off TBH but you should just have enough room to squeeze it past the ignition barrel, just be careful

Hope that helps

 

You are a star! Cheers!

Now back together and running lovely! had to butcher the loom from a Daewoo at the scrap yard for a small connector because one of the bullet type pin connectors broke when I plugged it back in!

BTW you can fit a dash over the steering column without removing it, so long as you remove the steering boss. (The manual says to remove the column)

thanks again!

Glad you got it sorted mate, those connector pins are a right pain, had loads of problems with bad connections on mine a while ago and had to get them re-soldered

The last time i removed a dash from a mk3 i found it just about squeezed past the ignition barrel, just have to be careful with your fingers as i squashed mine when easing it out and they bloody well hurt
