Re: Trip Computer Problem

[Ewan Marshall - Frans Maas Linlithgow <Ewan.Marshall@UK.Sun.COM>]

My Roc is an '89 Europian Scala.
Where are the wires on the engine side???
Are they on the left hand side (if seating in drivers seat,left 
or right drive)???There are 4 or 5 wires go into a small silver
box (I think this is the brains of the computer) in the tray on top
of the firewall (bulkhead), which I accidently
cut the -tive feed (due to a cheap alarm being shadily installed!!)
which stopped both the trip computer working and the alternator.Once
reconnected,everything worked fine.I will hopefully be working on
my Roc this weekend,so if I find anything out about mine I will let 
you know.

Cheers,

	Ewen.

	Depending on your year of car...there is supposed to be a white plug 
with
	nothing attatched....should have a blue with white stripe and a brown
	wire going to it....used for testing of the fuel system...
