Default I Have A Speedo!!!

Hahaha, finally got that damn SW gauge to work off the PCM. After spending way to much money on converter boxes and other ways of getting the signal, I went to radioshack and bought a big ole box of assorted resistors. Trie dthe first one, a 1K Ohm, and voila! I'm soo stoked. This things been such a source of frustration, I thought I'd share a solution as it seems I've been the only one with this problem. Maybe it'll help someone in the future.

Glad to see you were able to figure it out.

How did you end up hooking the resistor up?

fair enough, guess I was a little vague with that question What I actually meant was where did you hook it too? Between the PCM and the speedo, or from the wire that connects the PCM and the speedo to +12V as a pick-up circuit, or????

I have had to bury a couple of resistors and diodes in my wiring and the best way I have found so far is to solder them and then shrink wrap right over the whole thing. My other thought was to solder it inside of one of those inline glass fuse holders, but that seemed like overkill.

LoL! Yea, its inline between the PCM and the speedo input.
