hi guys, new to form so HELLO

i'm after fitting the trip computer in my 02 TDCi focus
but have read that u need a certain amout ov wires
in the indicator stalk????

how many r needed??
i have 9 wires in mine with 2 wires going in the same terminal
its the top left terminal as connected in stalk number 10 i think

some say u need 10 but not 8,,,EH i've got 9

anyone help with this problem

i've not looked for the connction behind dials
as i thought there were no point if stalk wires wrong

thxs ian

 

You need to have a black/yellow wire in PIN 10 of the indicator stalk, if you dont have that one wire you wont have the wiring and will need to retro fit it all, engine bay side of the loom is a doddle to fit but the dash loom is a bit of a pain, 15 wires to route about and a few wires in the loom need chopped and soldered

 

Another item to look for is the plug for the outside temp sensor.
That's behind the steel beam in the front bumper, near the centre. If you can get under the car and look/feel behind that you should find it.
There's a double slot in the centre of the beam that the sensor itself clips into - obvious when you see the unit how that works as one end has a rigid hook the other a flexible steel strip.

The washer level sensor connector is also pretty obvious, but you need to take the nearside wheel arch liner out, itself only a few minutes work.

The big connector for the main display is very well hidden on a cross-member down behind the instruments. If you've got big hands like me it's a swine to get to and untape!

 

LOL do u mean this has 2 wires in pin10, 1 black n 1 yellow or 1 wire thats black n yellow lol,,,i did av a look a while back and counted 9 wires in total but 2 wires went into the same pin but not sure wot pin it was,,,,if i had the wires behind the dials and i'm sure i have the temp senor wire behind bumper....were would i need to put this cable from pin 10

cheers for the reply guys
i'm gettin hopeful i could get this trip counter after all

 

If you take out the centre air vent nearest the steering wheel (it just pulls out). There will hopefully be a wiring loom taped to some metal. In which case, all wiring is there, you just need the computer, indicator stalk, dash surround, temp sensor and washer sensor.

If not, it's a hell of a job to install. My focus doesn't have the loom. I have the equipment, just trying to find the time to retro fit =S

Yes! That is the guide I have if you haven't got the loom.
