Hi, am I correct in thinking that the engine cut on an s40, is nothing more then a simply switch to earth to cut and the engine will stay cut until that earth is disconnected?

Ok thanks all. I have found a broken wire in the gear indicator connector that needs to be rectified first so I will have a go at all this later this week, cheers

Thanks. I have tried to do this but it keeps coming up with an error because the pot is close to its ‘dead point’. This is after I turned The pot around so it gave the correct readings in the ECU. How would you wire A shared POT? Does it need both 5v power supplies or just sensor and ground and 1pow...

Hi, I have an S40 and have been trying to set up the flat shift in the ECU and have used the potentiometer that was fitted to the Hewland JFR when I bought it, this was used to run a stand alone gear indicator. I have shared this for the ECU to provide gear voltages and it works fine. I had to turn ...
