    Default Dash wiring xe > mk2

    I am struggling to wire my dash at the moment.

    Loom is from an astra gte, car is a mk2.

    Having looked at the guides, people talk about the green plug. I have this but only four wires not six, and no green one!

    Astra mk2 loom the green will be at the x5 plug and you'll also need to run a temp (blue) from the stat housing, the only wires you need out of that plug are eml (brown/blue trace) and brown/yellow trace to ground out to give the fault codes

    ECU wiring kind of sorted that. Got a wire running from the stat aswell. But I have wired that from the round plug. Did the same for the rev counter. This is my only issue. Need a good signal for my vx220 dash.

    right, i can put a pic up later. heres what you need to do:

    locate the ecu big plug

    remove the 3 screws in it, 1 large 2 small, and remove the small trim

    flip the plug over and prise the white pin part out of the black bit

    you will now see the wires, locate the green one, and tap into it

    job done.

    That would work great. If there was a green wire to tap into.
