Trip computer into an SE8?
Trip computer into an SE8?
I purchased a trip computer last weekend and just got round to looking at fitting it today. Ive got the clock out, there is a different connection to the back of the trip comp. I have had a look behind the dash for another cable/ plug. Am I looking in the wrong place or is it just a simple fact that its not compatible. Ive added some pictures to help.
This is what was plugged into the back of the clock.

Re: Trip computer into an SE8?
there should be a plug for the switch aswell.take the centre console out.
Re: Trip computer into an SE8?
not all calibra's got the wiring for the switch, the se8 was one of them it will have to be hard wired , as vauxhall were being cheap when they were building the last calibra's, the se8 didnt get equal length driveshafts either

Re: Trip computer into an SE8?
Ive had all the centre console out there is deffiantely no plug there. The bracket to hold the plug is there but no plug, stupid vauxhall. Why only on the SE8? It's been a quite a while since ive done any electrics on a car. I would really know hwere to tap into on the loom?

Re: Trip computer into an SE8?
all you have to do is add the switches wires to the wires from the yellow plug, they are both the same so it aint rocket science
