I TOLD YOU IN THE OTHER THREAD

USE A TEST LIGHT AND FIGURE OUT YOUR REVERSE LIGHTS AND NEUTRAL SWITCH. ONCE YOU DO THIS, THE OTHER TWO ARE FOR SPEEDO.

LIIIIIIIISTTTTTTEEEEEEENNNNNNNN TOOOOOOOOO MEEEEEEEEE PLZZZZZZZZZZ

The trip computer is not working cos the speedo isn't working, so the trip computer isn't getting the speed value to work out the calculations.

basically get a test light or multimeter and connect it to a wire...

place it in neutral and see which wire lights up the globe... place in reverse and see which wire lights up the globe... etc... etc...

the top pins on the gearbox is ur nuetral switch, the 2 in the middle of the box is ur reverse switch, the speedo should plug in with a 3 pin plug that is round (all on p/side) . u can just bridge the nuetral switch so u can start it in first

eb91xr6, if you can't do it yourself, you shouldn't have done the conversion yourself. Take it to an auto elec and get them to finish it for you.

Surely putting a test light on a wire isnt that hard?

really $80 isnt that bad, id do it for that, i mean the most you should have to do is use the loom from your auto find the reverse + neutral switch wires(2 wires Each) and then find the speedo wires (2?) all on your old loom, and then connect them to the right ones....

Mate

you don't even need a test light.

Just use the auto loom, and rip the plugs off the box end so there are exposed terminals, and put the 2 plugs that are closest to the rectangle part plug end of the loom on the two connectors on the top of the box, and the other 2 on the side of the box. Then plug the speedo in. Done.

look mate, the speedo plugs STRAIGHT IN its 3 wires in a red sheath, with the other ones, just put the car in reverse with iggnition on and plug the wires on untill the reverse lights go on, and then take it out of reverse and check it they went out, the other 2 wires go on the other 2 pins
