GNX Dash Help!!

[Murdock]

Is there a installation manual for this, what all is involved, anyone here have this setup....I have this but have no documentation on how to install...any help guys I heard it may be a Kenne Bell or ATR???? Not to sure and tried searching for it but can not seem to find much helpful info...

thanks

If it were me, I'd call Caspers and ask about the link below:
http://www.installationinstructions.com/FYI/GNXdash-harness.pdf

That harness adapts a real GNX dash, but they might be able to help with this one also.

this is already a plug in play, however there are a few wires i dont know where they go and how the speedo hooks up..they tie in somewhere..just not sure where. Its all VDO gauges wired into a plug that goes to the OEM plug in the dash. Someone told me it was a Kenne Bell. and its hard to find???? So if someone has this unit and knows how it hooks up...feel free to let me know...lol thanks

I seem to remember having to splice a few wires. volt light maybe? Vss ? also if you have alky you need to make sure you have the reference voltage (5). when I swapped mine it no longer did and I had to tap in at the ecm. I think it took it from the factory boost gauge.

ok ill try that,,,thank you. it says nothing of this in the instructions...i guess thats why it being difficult lol...im sure it will be worth it when its all done.

so i notice my alky pump stays on when i turn on the ignition...i unplugged it..but still nothing...car turns over but does not start, im getting oil pressure etc on the gauges..hmmm any ideas?

 

[1turbo6]

does your dsah have a volt light? is it working? the factory dash does and if the circuit is not completed it will not start

 

[Murdock]

yes, and it was working....I have a 3 bar maf and alky kit....powerlogger etc..Im wondering if on of those are messing it up based on wiring without those. ??? Also if i dont have the boost gauge vac line hooked up would cause an issue? Its still hooked up externally

 

[Murdock]

OK....so I need to power up 5v to the 3bar map...where would I get this from? I dont have the analog dash anymore so Im not getting the signal, apparently having the powerlogger and switching to a GNX style dash complicates things abit. I seem to have ground and ref voltage to the map. Anyone else have this problem and or a fix???
