A multitasking mishap, Posted in the wrong forum.

 

Hello all,

Today I found the trip computer in a 97 and installed in my 96. My existing 6 wire harness didnt have a purple, it had a yellow instead so I wired like for like as indicated below. When it turns on, temp and direction are good, ave speed while not moving is 26, miles traveled is 99 and after 10 seconds all data resorts back to -- except direction. When I swap the purple wire on harness to yellow in vehicle wiring and run yellow on harness to data link it doesnt turn on at all...any ideas?

1) dark Green 5- RAP [x] fuse Supply Voltage
2) black/White 6- Ground
3) Dk Green/White 7- VSS Signal
4) Lt Green/Black 8- Ambient Air temp Sensor
5) gray 9- Instrument Panel Lamp Fuse Supply Voltage
6) yellow/white 10- LED Dimming Signal (instead of purple)

(1)emerald green 7- RAP Fuse Supply Voltage
(2)black w/ white stripe 8- Ground
(3)dark green w/ white stripe 9-VSS (Vehicle Speed Signal)
(4)light green w/ black stripe 10- Ambient Air temp Sensor **
(5)grey 11- Instrument Panel Lamp Fuse Supply Voltage
(6)yellow w/ white stripe 12- LED Dimming Signal (swapped from purple)
(7)(empty) 13- *empty*
(8)orange 14-Battery Positive Voltage
(9)purple 15- Trip computer/nav class 2 serial data link (swapped from yellow)

Thanks
