hey guys,

the inner tail lights of my GTT arent turning on when i flick the lights on - they work when i brake however...

Is there a way to get these suckers working all the time? both my mate's GTT's seem to have no dramas but mine is different...

Is there a simple fuse or something or do i have to get something rigged up?

Any help appreciated!

you'd find that one of the dual filament, filaments are burnt on both globes

So you think it's just the globes on the inner lights then? seems fair enough if they have dual filaments

the brake light is different from the others. brake lights a globe where the inner lights that come on when your lights are on are T10 globes. just replace those and they should work

there are 2 T10s in each smaller circle but im not sure about the bigger one

Maddog - i'll do it 2moro and let u know how it goes! cheers

Hey bud, took the lights off about 2 hours ago and the bulbs are all sweet - i got my missus to play around with the lights/brake pedal while i had a squizz at the lights and i realised that the wiring is dodgey! The wiring from the back of the T10 globes are spliced (from factory) and housed in a blue retainer...when i gave them a bit of a jiggle they were all sweet!

Looks like a bit of a soldering job 2moro...

    • Yeah, but knowledge of one wire's insulation worn through to short on earth implies the possibility of other wires doing the same. I had my power steering die, because the wire that runs to the solenoid valve on the rack runs in the same loom as the power wire for the O2 sensor. And when the O2 sensor/wire did something stupid and burnt part of that loom to death, the only indication was the shit(ter) fuel economy and the heavy steering. It took deep excavation of the looms in the bay to find the problem. Not wear through in that case, but similar shit.
    • Ah, I thought he'd wired it to one of the spare ECU inputs! Too long ago since I read that post, ha ha. I've been arguing with radiators, harmonic balancers, alternators and rust since reading it.
    • Correct. The ECU cannot read oil temp. (Well, I think it probably can in some situations. I did have the thought of potentially repinning the ECU when I was doing oil pressure). I am using this into the MPVI dongle, so that the MPVI dongle can read oil temperature. It is attached to a VDO gauge which is obviously calibrated to whatever curve the sender actually is using. This would be easy if I could setup a table of voltage to temperature like many sensors, but it appears I cannot do this and can only setup the transform rule which appears to be Input (voltage) x Multiplier, and add an offset. This to me means it MUST be linear. So it may be a complete waste of time wiring this into the ECU. The idea was that the MPVI3 has standalone logging. I wanted to use this instead of a laptop with serial cable (for wideband) for long datalogs. Given the wideband also has electric interference, I may never trust this either in a world where the serial wideband and the analog output wideband do not agree. Last time I did a trace I could see the two wideband traces follow each other, but one was a little leaner than the other. I plan on playing with voltage offsets and actually driving the thing to see how close they correlate. If they never correlate... then, well, maybe I'll never use either. Ideally I'd like to have the Analog wideband read ever so slightly leaner than the serial one, because the serial one is 'correct'. Tuning the car to be ever so slightly too-rich would be the aim. Not needing to have a laptop flying around in the footwell connected with cables is... an advantage. About the only one from the forced upgrade to MPVI3.
    • Hopefully not, since he knows the fuses work ha ha ha
    • I don't think he's got it on a gauge and on the ECU. I think he's got it on the gauge and on the HPTuners DAq thingo. Remember, we're talking about oil temp here, not something that the ECU is actually interested in for its own sake.
