Gis a clue

I've got the 2 pin switch and have the fuse / relay boxes hanging out.
I've also removed the fuse box door for access but can I hell as find the mystery plug for this switch 
Most of the under dash loom is unwrapped and I found the 4 wires which run to the brake pedal switch with ease but still no luck 

Anybody know what colour the wires are on this invisible switch are ?
It might be easier to find the wires then trace to the plug 

Also been blind without these glasses is a friggin pain in the arse because every time I stick my head under the dash, the oppsers fall off the end of my nose and can't see a bloody thing   

Oh yeh, i've stabbed myself with a Stanley knife while removing the loom tape so I think its fare to say, i'm having a bad day

What's a "clutch" ??

Is/was the car an auto?

Get your arse up here and i'll show you

Is/was the car an auto?

Auto to Manual conversion Rob 

ECU needs a pulse from the clutch on gear change to let it know when to drop off the revs or it holds on to them for the torque convertors benefit 
Mark has already done the Tech 2 bits but it is still showing gearbox faults due to the switch 

It would also be nice to have the cruise working again

No clutch switch plug in the auto loom.

Oh FFS 

Don't suppose you can get the plug separate so I can splice it into the cruise cut off circuit on the brake pedal ?




Would the lads who have 3.2 police specials or converted FL converted auto to manuals with a working cruise care to help out on this please

Some good news at last ...............

The missus has taken pity on me and is taking me down the local wetherspoons for my tea and a few beers 


No doubt i'll end up having a bad pint and end up sick as a dog later

Okay since I left the masters abode a couple of weeks ago after the tech 2 session, the EML light has been on.
I left it because I thought he clutch switch was causing it and this would clear when the offending switch was fitted.

Right, i've just plugged my slightly dodgy laptop based "My Naff Code Reader" friend in and this lot came up 

P0650  (4) Present
P1700  ( ---"---
P1700  (0) ---"---
P0170  (9) Not present
P0150  (5) Intermittent
P0150  (F) -----"-----
P0150  (4) Not present

I cleared the lot and restarted the engine then re run the code check to find this 

P0650 (4) Intermittent
P1700 (0) -----"------
P1700 ( -----"------

This lot have returned and even after clearing, return after start up 

IS this lot down to the switch been missing ?
Could this lot cause the revs to hold on when changing gear ?

Other than the lack of cruise and the gear change been a ball ache when changing quickly, the can runs absolutely great

When you next time down south pop down and will get sorted
 
Btw this fault it's not due clutch switch missing

[zirk]

On the Non DBW, one of the pins on the ECU gets a High or Low from the main loom, that tells the ECU whether its an Auto or Manual Gearbox fitted, cant image it would be much different on the DBW.

When I had a intermittent start problem on a 3.2 Auto, and having changed the Crank Sensor twice  , I borrowed the ECU from my 3.2 Manual Plod and vice versa, and the fault moved with the ECU confirming my thought about a faulty ECU, point being, neither cars complained about having an swooped ECU from a different GearBox and no codes was thrown up.

Cant remember if I checked the Cruise during all this, as the Plod doesn't have Cruise Stalk, but would have though it should have worked ok if the ECU was Cruise enabled.

If I get a chance this weekend I'll check if the 3.2 Plod Manual has a Clutch Switch fitted.

Money / work is tight again mate so I cant see myself down there in the near future but i'll keep in touch 
If I get the chance to go down to Skegness with the caravan, i'll nip out and pop in for a chat 

What are you thinks the problem might be ?

Either way, to get the cruise working, I need a clutch switch sorting 
I might be totally wrong on this but i'm wondering it something on the Tech 2 session hasn't taken 

I've just been down the M62 for the cars weekly blast and it drove great with the exception of the revs holding on when changing gear 
Put it this way, I visited some back roads on the way back and on a couple of occasions, I gave it some welly in the first 3 gears (as you do  )
Between 1 and 2 and 2 and 3, the revs would hold on for upto 5 seconds with the clutch depressed and the foot totally off the gas pedal 
And even then, the revs would seem to drop off in stages instead of just dropping to idle when the clutch is disengaged and the foot was totally off the gas 

Certainly one confused gonads here

Is the autobox ecu still plugged in?

Good point Al 

Gis a clue, were is this magic box and i'll check in morning 

Tbh, that weekend was a bit of a blur 
I did 4, 12 hour night shifts then drove back home from darn south that Saturday morning 
Toughed it out until 10pm then went to bed.
Spent Sunday trying to work out what day it was then back on the road to Sereks at 6am Monday morning !!
So to say I was knackered is the understatement of the friggin century and if i'm honest, I haven't got much of a clue what went on that day
