Are you using the ms relay board? I only use my original one for the voltage relay.

Using the stock board for a few things. Some of the wires come out, some stay in.

relay board fuse, could be a switching transistor on the main board also.


What do you mean?
Specifically the "switching transistor on the main board" part. Something in the cabin?

Zach



The main MS board has switching transistors on it. There is in for the FP. The are small and could fail with a voltage overload.

Of you go to the megamanual It will show you where it is in the assembly instructions.

As usual, life got in the way. But work started at home again on this today.

An old wire harness I got from Joe a longtime ago paid off. I needed to make a new 12 pin harness, and that got made today and is in the car. For the first time in YEARS my car will have reverse lights... assuming the switch at the transmission works.

I still need to test the main board, which will happen this evening after the kids go to bed. After that, I need to attach the plug to the crank fire wires I had to cut. Good times. This is what I want to get done tonight after the kids are in bed - assuming I can keep my eyes open.

Good Luck, If it works are you going to the Import Show next weekend in Carlisle? It sure would be nice to meet you after being so close a couple of weeks ago. I just broke something in my shifter yesterday. I got carried away and shifted to hard or fast I guess. Paul in Harrisburg is going to get it fixed for me so I can attend the show next weekend.

Nah, going to a different, non-porsche show next weekend.

Though I may drive up Sunday for the AX.... in my WRX.

Got a lot done today, in my own slow way. Both Molex plug ends are in and the crankfire wires are connected again. So tired I can barely see straight. Goodnight.

With any luck, tonight I put the harness back in the car, unhooked aside from power and ground, and see if it connects.

Booya!
We have a connection in the car. repeat! We have a connection in the car!

I had a really good feeling when I turned on the key and suddenly I heard the fuel pump turn on for a few seconds. I had not been getting that.

Loaded tuner studio, and the MS connected!

Slightly scary part is that I have NO CLUE what I did to make it start working. But it is WORKING!

Tomorrow, if I get released from mothers day duty, I'll start replacing the harness in the car. Right now its just the power and ground plugs installed.

The only thing that is not connected now which had been connected earlier is the crankfire sender. Easy enough to see if that kills it, but not tonight.

Great news Zach!! If you are using a VR sensor, remember that it will only work with the wires in the right order. So if you get nothing when you crank it, flip the wires around and try again.
