Re: Ford 555C, late 1989ish 4cyl - Shuttle box not shuttling!

On an up side there was a redundant 12v fused supply hidden among the mess of wires under the dash, which i used to test with. Its been running gently o...

Seem to have found a winner, No 12v supply on the brown wire to the modulator!

On another (maybe) related note, on the main loom above the modulator connectors is what i thought to be a large block connector that was taped up. On removing the tape to inspect it i found that it was actually X2 relays, X4 diodes and X3 screw capped fuse holders that had been taped up against the...

Re: Ford 555C, late 1989ish 4cyl - Shuttle box not shuttling!
I dont know, just pulled the box and dropped it in at dealer on my way to work Mon morning and only got it back this afternoon. I will reconnect the box and test it with the meter tomorrow after work. The colours i listed in my last post was just an educated assumption from looking at the cables thi...
