Unhappy

I fitted one of the Psi3 supplied Defi shift-lights to my S1003 pod mount last night. Only problem being, that it doesn't work!

I followed the instructions given on the website ( a great little site done by some fantastic people www.psi3.co.uk ), to no avail...

I looked on Scoobynet for any oyher info and found John Felstead's original fitment photos. This pic shows the shift light wires going into the back of the main connector block:



...By the look of that though, he's got the wires the other way around as described in the fitment guide!

Is the wire with the little silver trace on it the really positive one?!?!?!?!

It may just be that my PCB board needs an update, being the 1st S1003 and all.

Any help greatly appreciated,
Squizz.

Positive should go into block 1
Negative into block 2

Positive apparently being the wire with the silver trace on it. This is the documented fitment.

Exclamation

shift light uses pin 1 and 2 on the block 2 connector.

Pin 1 is the positive with silver tracer, pin2 is negative solid wire.

Connector block1 is used for data in and power to the main unit only.

Thanks for the reply, John. That's what I meant in my posts above. Exactly how mine is wired... So there's a fault somewhere.

Didn't you have an extra resistor added to your PCB to modulate the power output?

Mine's the same vintage (day!) as yours, so Simon/Simon/Simon might need to get the soldering iron out on mine too. Excuse for a chip/software upgrade whilst I'm there, I guess...

Thanks again,
Squizz.

Edited to say - Or is the resistor in the shift-light itself to step it down from 12v to 5v??
