Thread: Wiring all messed up...

Hey, This is Steve-o Again.

I have the 1997 Grand Prix GTP. I've had it forever.. so ill get down to the question that i need help with.

So originally everything was okay until i had someone install my system into my car, which apparently they messed it all up but to say this FIRST.
I KNOW ITS NOT BECAUSE OF MY SYSTEM.

So to start with.

1. My pods dont seem to work, but i think its a wire, i dont know what color the wires are or anything.
2. My speeddomitor does not light up anymore either ( i think its a wire but im not sure what that looks like either)


so the question remains if its the wires which i know it is for a fact, im wondering how they are suppose to be wired up, what they look like as well.

AND

to add to this post.

I'm looking for a full wire diagram on how the wires are suppose to be like, orange to green or w/e. i need to know where my pod wire is suppose to be hooked too, as well as my speedometer lights.

and

if anyone has a dash for sale (platic housing around the speedometer let me know!) and how also does the carpet under where the brake and gas pedals are how it attachs... because it seems it keeps falling down i think im missing a plastic cap to hold it up, but im now sure.

guess no one at all has any clue, how nice.

being an ass doesn't help your cause.

you need to be a bit more detailed and maybe take some pictures.

Pictures of a wiremess wont help for 1.
and for 2 i wasnt being an ass about it, im suprised not 1 person had anything to say being for the fact this entire website deals with cars like mine thanks...

and also. more detailed? its simple.
1. my pods dont work at all, no power, dont glow or anything like they should, being a wire i dont know what the wire should hook 2.
and also, my speedometer doesnt work and if i knew what wire that went to as well, the problems would be fixed.

and i said that in my first post
thanks.

Well i do appreciate the honest answer from you Kjohnson. Ill take a look at them, i guess the problem lies within that i don't know where the wires from the Pod (which i assume are stock because i seen them in multiple grand prix GTP's) are to be wired to, or what to be wired to. I assume that it should be wired maybe to the ignition wiring???

I'll take pictures but i guess all i really want to know is, where does the pod's wires suppose to be connected? like to the ignition wiring? or a hot wire? or what. if you can answer that one anyhow.....

clearly a (POD) is refurring to the left side where your Voltage gauge and air fuel ratio are located.

sorry for being a bit of a smart ass.... just was curious to find out where the pod (voltage meter/air fuel ratio) was originally connected, because i have no clue. But ill check the ground wire first, if not that then im not sure where it connects to (the positive i mean)

Oh, and no there is no voltage what so ever to it. it would seem maybe the wire is disconnected, just not exactly sure where to connect it to, or if its just suppose to be connected into a positive wire lets say from my stero or something

Well imma attempt to check those things this weekend. the only question lies within that what fuze would those be for? like labeled as what?

i have a feeling that it probably is a fuze, because i tried hooking it into multiple wires, and came up with no luck, not even a spike in voltage jump on the meter.

any clues yet?

Yeah ill have to check and pull each fuse. I'm starting to think that i might just end up buying a parts car, removing my entire dash and rip it all out and put all the electric from the parts car into my car... (dredful thought) but its bought the best solution i can think of, because i dont see where to connect the wire, i know i connect it to when the car shuts off, this would solve my (pod) solution but where do i connect it to??? any suggestions?? and as far as my speedometer goes, all the bulbs are fine, none are burnt, it seems to be the connection to whereever its suppose to be connected (which i dont know where the cable from the speedometer which has that glow around the numbers etc... is suppose to be connected either


please help

thanks.

I found out its defiantly not my fuses because i checked everyone of them.
