so you can actually install a trip computer into a povo pack falcon??
Funny that Fox Parts In Sunshine told me its not possible unless u have a fairmont/lane loom...

they can be fitted to a base model.
you just need to add the plug and few wires as the tech doco discribes.. i would double check the wires you added to the cluster are going to the right pin?? ive done it to mine and it works fine!! otherwise you might have a fault in the trip comp? |

you dont need the looms to do it. i have a "Povo Pack" and mine works fine. its just a b**ch when ya cant get connectors small enough. so i just frayed the wires and shoved it in so they connected

in ef falcons if you remove the plastic bit where the cluster goes there is already a wire waiting for it to be plugged into.
my mate put one in and it works fine. |

Also Fabz, unless you have a Fairmont EF/Ls require you to add and remove wires from the clock plug. Yes the trip and clock use the same plug - no its not plug and play. |

What dont you understand? I said unless you have a Fairmont, which already has the trip comp and appropriate wiring, you need to run some to the clock plug, to make it a trip comp plug, as well as remove a wire. I've done it to 2 EFs now, its piss easy, and a great mod. |

Maybe a problem with the computer itself. Have you tried pressing the reset button a number of times ? Maybe you've got a magic Falcon with outstanding economy heheh.
