*HOW TO* fit a digi dash into a mk2 nova

[big dee]

pulled the dash out to find the bulbs on either side are blown....

didnt do too bad getting that dash in in 3 hours ish all i need now is the transducer, but the wires are there ready for it to go so 5 minutes work and its finished....

also i have found that if you join the two grey/green wires on the white plug that your dash will be brighter these must be the wires for the dash light dim function on the astra

Lol, I'm the Gareth Lewis who did that diagram 7 years ago, I'm feeling old now :D

Im having problems with mine, the speedo isnt working? It just stays at 0mph. Everything else works fine...rev counter etc, any ideas?

[Dave.]

check the wire thst calculates the speed isnt broken, ensure the connection is good, if that fails may be worth trying to find a new transduccer

does that diagram work with a 1.0 nova dash loom

[Dave.]

yep it sure does, the guides based on the one i installed on my 1.0l nova matey

[Huffy]

ive read your guide and fitted mine, it was working the other day then i fitted the transduer and a wire to the coil for rev counter now my dash wont come on at all. think im goin to take it to the auto spark for some help. the indicators do you run the wires from the dash to the stalk (black, white/ black ,green) because i have these wires on the loom, as well i connected these the black, white / black ,green to the dash wires the same time as the dash cut out ive checked the black wire that seems fine the bat went dead also can you help mate any ideas

[Dave.]

is the coil wire earthing out atall? check its all earthed out etc

also yes they need to be spliced into the stalks, as the astra has individual left and right indicator lights whereas the novas originally had just onee light for both sides

Further to that,instead of splicing into the wires for the indicator stalks,i just attached the wires from digi dash to the terminals on the stalk.Its not as pikey as it sounds and works perfect,just by wrapping the wire round the spades
