So i followed the above and installed the microswitch at the shifter. Only bit i can add to this thread that i had to use spacers below the switch to raise it of the plastic as the switch was hard up

There is no way you will be able to stall up a 3071 unless you open up the torque converter stator. That said, it should feel better with the wire cut still. I assume you are tapping the pink/blue ec

Geez mate, now your testing my memory, lol.

I think initially I had to go digging up top like you, near the high mount stop light. I ran a wire down the passenger side & in behind the side panel where my TV tuner is. I used this to power the reverse camera as well as switch the display input.

Then, more recently, I connected into this same wire for the Pin55 reset, so didn't actually see the reverse light wire as such. I could look at the manual to see what colour it should be, but pretty easy for you to test it by probing it with a pin.

Hey guys I might have a solution that's a bit easier than running wire from rear camera. I only did the brake wire cut today so ill have to wait till the engine light comes on to test it properly.

Months back I installed some LED strips to light the footwells and I powered them from the key barrel ring light which must be triggered by door switch/module. I haven't got my multimeter on me but I'm pretty sure it's a 12v feed as the lights needed that supply, so I was thinking piggy back that wire to the pink/blue brake ecu side and every time I'm chucking the kids in the car/loading groceries/driving with my doors open, that should reset the light automatically. And it's easy to run just across bottom of dash.

So ill wait till warning comes on to see if it will work and will post results. Cheers mates.

Hey Dave, sounds perfect since you've already found that wire.

Of course that will preclude you from launching with the door open for that fully sic Youtube video :w00t:

Hi all,

Got to test out my setup today, ECL came on in morning and I hooked the wire up to my interior light circuit to see what would happen. Light cleared after about 3 seconds, happy as.

So to anyone wanting a relatively easy way to do this mod and make it automatically reset itself, carry out the following:

Run a wire from the positive side of the ignition key light (ring) - easy to access just pull off a few trims, run it down behind stereo area (straightened coat hanger helps to feed through) across under glovebox to ecu side pink/blue wire.

Job done.

*NOTE: This mod will only work successfully if you occasionally have your car running with the doors open. Also it may still bring the light on over long distance drives, so not perfect but just another way of doing things. Cheers!

      Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
