 Posted: Sun Dec 26, 2004 10:28 pm Post subject: Speed Alert Hookup |
 |
|
My brother gave me a speed alert thing, like out of a commodore, for christmas. It has to hook up to the digital speedo speed sender cable. Where is this? what is its proper name? what coulour is it? If i put the alert thing on the dash, what would be the easiest way to run the cable?
Thanks in advance |

| I have a copy of the wiring diagram for your instrument cluster if you want me to email it to you. |

Because of speed cameras?  |

The speed alert in my Fairmont comes in handy, especially when you have the cruise set, you're ignoring the speedo and are travelling downhill. Rather hear the beep than see a speed camera flash. |

Agreed. The quaestion is not WHY but HOW!!!!
Nicco, i believe the signal you are looking for is VSS (vehicle speed sensor). If its a 6cyl the VSS feeds the dash which feeds the ECU, V8 VSS feeds the dash which feeds the TCM.
You'll need the ECU and/or dash wiring diagram. |

Concorde, I almost wear my speedo out i am using it so much, but when you come from a 100 to a 50 zone, your speed tends to creep up unnoticed!!
Fairmont1998, could you please email it to me so i can check it out: karting@cairnskartclub.com
4.9 EF Futura, it is a 6 cyl, do you know where i could get my hands on if Fairmont1998's diagram isnt the right one?
Thanks |

If you dont hear because your music is up to loud you will more than likely notice it flashing as well  |
