Thread: Just weird. Can someone help me understand this?

I moved my performance shift button to a red led rocker switch next to the heated seat button I wired the + to the 12 volt connector and the - to the ground connector on the switch I didn't connect the acc. connector for the led light the performance shift lights up and works fine on the D.I.C.. I read a forum where a guy said his "performance shift light on the D.I.C. doesn't work but the performance shift light on the I.P. works" now my I.P. light doesn't so I took the I.P. cluster out seen there was no bulb so I went to the auto parts store and bought one and replaced it; now this is where it gets weird I turned the performance shift button on and the led switch lit up and the performance shift light on the I.P. or D.I.C. didn't light up. Again Can someone help me understand this?

On the wiring to the stock button, while we realize there is a red and black wire, it's not positive and negative. It's simply a ground flowing through a normal switch.

Yup. One side to ground other to the pcm to enable performance shift. Hope you didnt put 12v into the pcm side.

Since you started with two wires..you shouldn't need to ground one. But yeah..

No I didn't. I was talking about the rocker switch has 3 connectors at the bottom of it a 12v, Acc., and a ground. I connected the red wire to the 12v connector on the switch and red and black wire to the ground connector on the switch but it worked right tell I got the bulb for the I.P. cluster and put it in. I'm going to take the bulb out and see if it go's back to normal (which I'm sure it will). It's has something to do with the bulb.

I fixed the problem. Thanks for your guys' ideas.

cool....mind sharing?
