Damaged Dash2 during install, what to do

Postby sludge1300 » Mon Mar 14, 2011 2:38 pm

I was attempting to connect an OEM wheel speed sensor...I wired together the 12v, sensor lead, and the brown dash sender wire. I connected the other wire from sensor to the black ground wire (top connector) going into the dash.

So, I guess the problem was either wiring to the ground wire in the dash rather than grounding the sensor straight to the chassis, or the fact that I didn't connect a resistor between power and the sensor/dash wire.

Now the Dash will only power up if I connect the black wire (going to the top connector, which was previously unused) to ground on the chassis. The analog sensors are all reading erroneously. Presumably because they are no longer grounded.

Anyway, here are pics of the results....what should I do about this?

Thanks in advance for your help.
