Blumr2 Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 Has anyone fitted a spoiler switch eg https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/264222383544?ul_noapp=true I have Fitted and the switch and it works but having issues with the LED leads to the green plug on the back of the instrument cluster. I’ve had one pair of prongs break when bent and then the other lead I made up with board jumpers did the same. But when it’s connected I get a flashing led and no spoiler movements. Take out the led wires and the dash switch and bridged floor one works. so i figure one of the leads is not connecting the ones required on the green cluster switch, with tow broken pins I'm thinking splicing or getting the correct terminal connectors and trying to rewire.

el 3.2S Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 I have one of these fitted. Sorry can't help with your specific problem but I remember having quite a bit of trouble with the connections on mine. I found them to be very flimsy, especially the twin prong one. I ended up getting a partial replacement from the seller due to it not being how it should be. It has worked perfectly since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, i have emailed but one down the route of grabbing a couple of Diodes and looking at wiring further back to try and use solder less breadboard connectors for the plug end so its neater than jamming then m in the case as well. Let ya know how that goes.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blumr2 Posted March 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 All in and operating, i had to remake the leads and placed the diodes externally so they connector sat correctly and i could make better pin connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike G Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 I fitted mine some time ago now, but remember its a bitch of a job to get those pins into the back of the green plug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT nice its working now and i like the visual ON LED to say it's up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
