Re: Power Mode Selection
Sorry for the thread bump.
If I swap A4 and A6 I will not have to ground it at all, correct? Also, How do I re-insert the wire? Do I need to push in the clip and slide it in? I have a 97 so I a going to follow post #174. From what I gather. Swapping the wire will turn the manual mode button into a power mode button by only switching A6 into A4. Is this correct? |

Re: Power Mode Selection
update: i hadn't put it in drive yet as soon as you put her in drive, both lights come on. i'm assuming the manual button simply turns a light on, regardless of the actual mode being engaged. gonna go test it out. :]

Seems like moving the pin over would be a real pita... or was it ok?

Re: Power Mode Selection
i did watch your video! that was actually why i thought maybe i had to put it in drive, so i tested it and it worked. it was the MANU light still being on that threw me off.. getting the pin out took me over an hour.. i tried everything to push it out, and nothing worked. i ended up breaking it actually it still stays in just fine. soon i will ground pin 4 like you and most people do, cause manual mode is fun. i'm going to try and put it in that little blank oval right below gear 1, like the japanese svxi have.

Re: Power Mode Selection
You mean use a switch there? My intentions exactly, the little mini rocker switches don't exactly fit because it is oval and not square.... I'm going to have to get a dremel (need one anyways) and grind the edges so the switches will work, er... fit.
I got to realizing why everyone said once you do it you'll never want to turn it off but I beg to differ... in the winter I will not want to be using either the power mode or QC on start up.

Re: Power Mode Selection
i thought the same thing when i installed my subwoofer.. i'm so glad i put a switch in there. i already have 1 switches being used in the coin holder area
(put a parking light switch there). i believe the shift lock button would fit in that little oval? worth a shot. if not that, then that blank switch to the left of the defroster switch.

Re: Power Mode Selection
Sorry for bringing back an old-ish thread, but I figured it would be better than starting a new one
I am planning to do the Power mode mod, but I have a few questions first. Is the power light supposed to come on when I first start the car, or only if there are stored transmission codes? My power light has never come on in my car since I've had it (almost a year). It's a '92 LSL. I have tried a few times to get into power mode, but haven't been successful. It may be that the light is out, but before trying to find a replacement bulb, I figured I would check to see if it's supposed to come on when the ignition is first switched on like many of the other instrument lights. Also, my MANU light doesn't come on when I push the manual button. Maybe both bulbs are out. I did try to check transmission codes, but since the power light does not come on when I switched the ignition on, I'm not sure if I can perform the diagnosis. Thanks

Re: Power Mode Selection
the light should come on for a little bit when you first turn on the key. it will flash a bunch of time (16?) if you have any transmission codes. probably have to get the light to work before trying to engage power mode. if you use manual mode does it work even though the light doesn't?

Re: Power Mode Selection
The Power light will be on or should be on when you first switch on the ignition. If that's not happening Glen then either the bulb is blown, or possibly the last person to sell the car took the bulb out because it was flashing a Trouble code.
Replace the Power light bulb and the Manu light bulb, then proceed from there. Joe

Re: Power Mode Selection
Wow, it's hard to believe it has been so long since I posted in this thread.
I've been mega busy in my new job, keeps me off the internet, but that is good news in these Hard Times. Ron, I have decided to put my low miles [40K] car back on the road for this summer. This will mean I should make good on my plan of Oct 2010 to use the modified TCU from Phil. It will be a few months though before I get down to it. Still struggling with debt. But winning lately. Joe

So it seems that I have a bigger problem than blown bulbs. Here's what doesn't work: 1: gear indicator lights in dash. All bulbs except "D" are good. 2: Power light / mode. I'm sure the bulb is good, but it doesn't even come on momentarily when I start the car. I have never seen the bulb light, and have not noticed any significant change in shifting when I "mash the gas" 3: Manual light / mode. I have played with the manual button and shift lever several times and it doesn't seem to make any difference no matter what combination I try. 4: a few other random illumination bulbs (defroster, cruise, etc). I think these are just blown bulbs, but I figured I would note it anyway. 5: the ABS doesn't work. I think it's just missing a relay. although I have noticed the air bag light on as well... 6: the security system. the light comes on when I push the button but I can't get it into programming mode so I'm not sure if my keyfob works. I don't think the electric locks work either. I think there was an aftermarket security system installed at one point because there is a black box under the steering column that says Astroflex on it. Most everything else electrical seems to work. Any thoughts? Thanks! P.S. I'll start a new thread if that would be better...
