Shift Light

[Greenie]

Anyone on here know how to wire a shift light into a 2ltr Zetec Blacktop?

It normally comes from the Ecu, the emerald has a gear shift table that can be configured with a gear shift output wire that im assuming can power a bulb or an LED, ive not done it but would also be interested to know how to do it

[Guest MarkB]

I think the eidis has an output for this..... or am I dreaming

I don't think you can take a signal from the edis for a shift light. I know you can though for the the rev counter if that's what you're thinking?

Shift lights usualy take a feed off the tacho but could run off the EDIS tacho feed

You can use Zener diods to get a feed from the coil pack

Old ignitions feed off the coil

You can't just wire a bulb in you'll need a shift light system

Megajolt feeds from the ECU and can run individual shift lights at user set revs

Burton's sell shift modules that can be programmed.

If I recall correctly, I think that emerald switches an earth within the ECU at your desired rev point which completes the circuit to your lamp. I have set one of my maps to light the lamp just before i hit the scary power bit and i switch to this in the wet to remind me to short shift and save me filling my pants!!

 

Can't comment on owt else.

Sharky, did you use a relay or is the switched earth ok for one side of the bulb? (specifically the Emerald)

[Guest Sharky]

Tony, sorry been away for a bit.

 

Switched earth, no relay required is how I did it and it works fine.

 

HTH?
