AS wiring questions...
Discussion
Having succeeded (barely) in passing all of the AS wiring loom's connectors through both holes in the right-side luggage bin, I set to pre-positioning its forward branches. A few questions have arisen:
- Exactly how do the AS loom's Speedo and Tacho wires (one each) mate up to the Ultima loom's connectors and gauges? I have the standard analog dials. Neither set of "instructions" (Ultima or AS) is at all clear on this.
- What function is served by the AS Check engine light & Ignition switch ON position wires and where do they connect?
- How do the four connectors intended for the battery's + terminal (two each from the Ultima and AS looms) fit on that little post? Is an extender necessary and available?
On the bright side, I got the underside of the center section painted black yesterday (the red really pops now!) and installed the wiper motor.

I can't remember all of it from my build 2 years ago, one day I will regret not making better notes!
But yes you will have 3 connectors all onto the battery terminal. This is OK but you wouldn't want to add any more!
The speedo and tacho fittings were something I had to check with the factory - I can't find their reply. I remember it was not obvious though, but when connected it all works. I too have standard gauges. Sorry I can't answer that one.

Thanks - much appreciated!
I think I've actually got 4 connectors vying for my battery terminal. Two from the Ultima loom and two from the AS loom. I was planning to leave a trickle charger pigtail in place, too. Looks like I'll need a terminal extender of some sort.
I'll write Richard for the speedo/tacho wiring details.

I have the starter cable and one other at the battery.
The 'other' cable goes to a 100A fuse mounted on the chassis rail inside the passenger footwell. All other power cables come off that fuse.

Interesting. Was this configuration suggested by Ultima and/or AS or did you opt for it on your own? Definitely food for thought.The 'other' cable goes to a 100A fuse mounted on the chassis rail inside the passenger footwell. All other power cables come off that fuse.
