arite i just got a shift light and im a lil confused as in how to install this thing...is there any easy way?

thanx

 

what do you have?? can you give us more detail???

 

i have a 2000 ss

 

What kind of shift light?

I have a Harlan and it's been a while but I believe all I did was tap one wire into the tach signal, run another into an ignition power source and ground another wire.

As far as mounting it goes, that's depends on where you want it. It should be rather easy to install.

 

its a proform shift light
now see the only reason i was wondering how to do this is because i wasnt sure what the unstructions ment by running a wire to the ignition.,...like do i have to take apart the dash or what

thanx

 

You need to run that wire to the tach signal on your pcm which is under the hood on the passenger's side. You can run it there through the grommet in the firewall right below it.

You'll have to do a search to find out exactly what wire it is for your car. I think it was the #10 pin (white wire) on my car but mine is a 2001 and it's been a while since I did it so I'm not 100% sure.

 

I just checked on www.raptorperformance.com where I got my light from. I looked at the PCM pinout for a 2000 model year. You want to look at the red connector on your PCM. Then look for wire #10 which is white in color.

 

If I remember right, the Proform is one of the lights that didn't work properly with the F-Body.

 

damn that sux

 

Yea,
It was something about the weird voltage outputs of the LS1. The Raptor Performance shiftlight was my weapon of choice.

 

how long did it take you to install?

 

i have a raptor..and it was pretty simple..... maybe 2 hours..

 

were did you run the wires at though...im a lil confused on that part...... did u have to take any of the dashbord off??
thanx

 

I'm running a Harlan shift light, but I've also heard good things about the Raptor...anyway, here is a link to a site with an excellent write-up on shifter light install that I think will be very helpful to you, look under install documents, transmission, Matthew Harlan's programmable shift light:
