Update: After some more probing and a new 6 volt battery, I have the climate control working successfully. I need to wire the dash to the "SLIDERS" of the foot, face, defrost and outside, recirculate. I need to somehow "ground" each wire as I select each stage, so if I select recirculate/defrost it should light up orange, if I select recirculate/outside it should light up green. Might have a look at some micro-switches. |

the lever is metal so you could just install some sort of wire/wiper for each and then earth the lever (if it isnt already) when its in the position it will make the contact and woohoo |

Thanks Jamie, I also need to find some replacement globes as 5 of them are blown..........the only problem is they are not the "twist" type wheat globes but rubber mounted.........might be visiting Jaycar for replacements. |

More work done on the dash tonight. I reassembled the whole unit and bench tested everything. I found that the climate control won't work without an input from the ECU..........so I did this:  I have bridged the input wire to run off the "power" once the fan from the heater/cooler is running, and should give this result:  and finally my bench testing station.........just a couple of 6 volt batteries wired to achieve 12 volt so I don't blow circuits.  Nearly finished. |

I tried today to find some replacement bulbs for the climate control..........no luck as they are now obsolete.........so, I did the next best thing.......replaced them with LED's..........3 colours, red, blue and yellow. All working again.

Nice to see it's been half way around Oz, without being wired up (no pun on you Jamie). |

It looks very robotic, good work mate. Now let’s hope the good old 80’s digital display can keep up with the speed of your car or better yet the revs. |

It should do...........I wired a tacho interface into the test bench and it worked perfectly, not to mention I tested the speedo with a drill attachment, that got to over 190km/hr.........but at 100km/hr the speed alert light comes on............no biggie as the speaker is now disconnected. |
