Bionic Beast Donating Members 29 Member For: 4y 4m 26d Gender: Male Location: rAdelaide Posted 15/02/22 07:17 AM Share Posted 15/02/22 07:17 AM Im wanting to install one on my BF as it has the connector hanging there for it. I tried activating the light (before wasting money ob the sensor) but no matter what I did, crossing the pins, sending them 12v, grounding them ect I could not get it to show up. So was I doing something wrong? Was that plug not even for the sensor? (It definitely wasn't the 2nd motor plug) It was the ones that were plugged into each other. Or is it something ridiculous like the cluster has to be programmed for it or it doesn't even have the light? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect you'll need a specific cluster (perhaps fairmont... I don't know, just speculating) for that sort of light to show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clusters that got paired with the colour screen ICC's. Since you loose the trip functions on the cluster to the ICC ford put door ajar diagram (shows you exactly what door is open), a PRND/ what gear you are in while tiptronic is engaged light and the washer bottle sensor. If you flick through your owners manual to the instrument section you can see the screens detailed better. I also found out if you remove the insert of your cup holder its made to hold milk drink cartons, finally somewhere to put my FUIC , whoever knew reading that manual was helpful That sucks for me since I've already gotten my "low series" Cluster modified and don't feel like paying again... Thanks for the tip off of different clusters though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant exactly see it while I''m driving can I? And what''s it to you what I do with my car. Idc if you think its a waste of time, I want it.

If there is a symbol in the dash then there might be a light there. Even if there is no light you could put something there to make the symbol light up. Another option, don't bother with a relay and just run a lithium battery with led straight through the low level switch. No need to find power and frig around with a relay that way. Nek option is to find a dash to support it, a module file to support it, as well as the current modules, and flash the bastard to make it work like a factory setup. This way is the most legit way of doing it but I can't tell you if this option even exists. You'd have to do your homework and possibly use a bunch of trial and error to make it work. Another option, just check the oil, coolant, other fluids as well as the washer bottle once a week as you should anyway, then there is no need for a low level light. If you think you need an intercooler spray then perhaps consider a hectic intercooler upgrade. In my experience an intercooler spray does 2/3s of stuff all compared to a correctly sized intercooler. This is coming from countless dyno runs, and using a spray bottle on many an intercooler to get it cooled down after a long hot summer tuning session, just to get a hero run. Great for peak dyno numbers, not really that useful in a street car. Anyfreakinghow there's a few ideas to get it working, and maybe some ideas about upgrading and even needing it to start with.
