Great news Ron,

I am trying to fit up the dash pad what a pain in the A$$ with the DSE dash, it's terrible fit, brand new and old pad fit like $hit. Good luck with yours.

Cool I think you're making progress

You are making progress right.

On my Brother in laws '69 with the DSE dash -- I ended up having the upholstery shop make a whole new one and had him cover it etc -- $1200 and it matches the rest of the beautiful job he did (rather than that cheap ass plastic thing) and fits like a glove.

GW's solution looks great, if it's out of your budget I found a solution too........



You're welcome.

Thx Greg. These dash pads suck almost as bad as Endura bumpers!

I was thinking more of a matching coat from the Sir Mix-a-lot Pimp Daddy collection?

Hey Vince! So this may only be a PSI harness configuration and like I said, John is always there for support. My issues are switched fan runs on start up, OBDII is not able to be read w a code reader or HP Tuners, check engine light does not come on momentarily upon start up, and the Tach is not reading a signal from the computer.

Sounds like a system meltdown right?

It's a ground and a resister issue and that's about it.

The car electrical system is currently is ground to the frame and the motor. To test it we ran a ground from the E38 computer to the battery. Also checked the pin outs:

OBDII Port:

POSITION 4 TO GROUND
POSITION 5 TO GROUND
POSITION 6 TO BLACK ECM CONNECTOR POSITION 28
POSITION 14 TO BLACK ECM CONNECTOR POSITION 27
POSITION 16 IS SWITCHED 12-VOLTS

Here's the Autometer Tach/resistor issue.
