see if thers a computer under the dash above the drivers left knee. Otherwise check the outher pins and find out which ones are the 12v and work backward to find out which pinout diagram you should use

find the 12v pins on your computer then match that to one of the pinout diagrams.

I would find it by looking at the colors that repeat themselves then test them with a multimeter. The 12V ones will read 11-14V (should be 12 if the car isnt running)

Sorry, my bad.

Try an 18ohm and a 1.2 - this will make shifts slightly harder
