Harlan Shift light install problem I installed my shift light and it doesnt work. I can't get any power to it. I tapped into the ASR pink wire and tried one of the blue 15 fuses in the fuse box. Nothing. This thing took me a couple hours to get it in and the damn thing doesnt work. Can anyone help.

Re: Harlan Shift light install problem I just sent you an email but this might work quicker.
2000Camaro SS. I dont get a power on flash. I hooked the power wire (22 guage wire from radio shack rated 300 volts) to the accessory fuse (blue 15) first and it didn't work. Then I tried the ASR switch (pink wire), still nothing.
I don't really know what the problem is. I know the fuses and ASR work cause the radio comes on and the ASR light is on. Do you think the problem is the wire Im using?
I ground the light to one of the screws in the driver side vent, and the tach wire is installed correctly.

Re: Harlan Shift light install problem The ground is INSIDE the vent???
I can just about assure you that ground is touching nothing but plastic up there.
Just the ground to something metal and obviously connected to the boady of the car. If you have the console off there are some screws that hold the shift boot on. Those go directly into the trans tunnel.
I can look up the ground wire in the ASR plug if you would prefer that as a ground

yes, most definately
for proper opperation, a solid power and ground connection is required

Re: Harlan Shift light install problem I'd try to send you eamil, but yahoo has been screwing up all day on outgoing mail. I can't send **** <img src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" border="0">
The issue w/ the wipers is noise in the electrical system. It only seems to happen w/ the wipers, and on f-bodies, go figure <img src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" border="0">
I initially never noticed it, as i didn't drive the car in the rain. How things change <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">
The fix is to add a capacitor on the 12V supply to the light. 100uF 25V electrolic. It's been fixed in the latest revision to the light.
You can get such a piece from radio shack. It's polarized so it needs to go in the right way. Just parallel it w/ the 12v and ground feed to the light.
I can send you one if you send me an address, or i can mod the light if you'd like. THe quickest solution is to get one at radio shack.
choice is yours

Re: Harlan Shift light install problem Thanks for the response.
I was just curious if you knew what the problem was, that's all.
I've got to tell you, I can't count how many compliments I have gotten on the light. I mounted it in the defrost vent on the a-pillar and a lot of people ask if it was a factory option. I laugh and tell them no.
Once again, thanks for the great product.

Re: Harlan Shift light install problem Hey Harlan a quick question....
My light comes on every once and while when my windsheild wipers are on and at about 1500 rpm or lower. Any idea how I can change this? It is more frequent when at idle with the delay set on the wipers if that helps...
I tapped the ASR switch if that helps also.
Drop me an email if you can:

Thanks
