type r dccd light flashing
thought id ask in the general tech forum to!
everything is explained below and has any body else suffered a problem like this?
i will warn you that i removed/unpicked the loom from my type r and fitted everything into a standard sti shell
im pretty sure its all wired up correctly and i understand a flashing light means a dccd malfunction but iv only actually connected a few earths added power to the relay the clocks connected the 2 wires from the diff up and connected the handbrake!
can the fact that the car has not moved (similar to when an abs light illuminates when wheels have been free wheeling in the air) be due to the fact the dccd is malfunctioning or is it more likely going to be a fault i have made on the wiring?
does gear box oil level effect the dccd to even though it has not been driven

any input would be much appreciated
cheers

Nope it was in my own car previous and thts where everything came from
Iv had to cut the loom down so the dccd is separate from the ne shells loom but everything is connected up as per original
Only thing i can think of is if iv got a few wires mixed up or a dodgey join/brake somewhere
Is it common for anything in the box to **** up when removed?

and as for the oil i didnt know whether it could of effected the diff in some way
the thumbwheel works becasue if i turn the ignition off then move the thumbwheel to roughly the second box down and turn the ignition on then the sequence gos
one flash on lock at top
one flash on the second box down
then it remains to flash in the loweest open diff setting box for the duration that the ignition is left on
its working to an extent but not functioning quite correctly which makes me think its not really my wiring and more of a problem i may of created when fitting the engine and box into the car over the past week
what do you think?
