[QUOTE="Fireuz, post: 523281, member: 15565"] 2011 Massive Quicksilver Transformation Project [B]Phase: Retrofit LCI E60 Knob into E46 Gear knob (PART 2)[/B] To execute this steps, you'll require: 1) 3mm wires (20cm/8pcs) 2) Multimeter 3) Soldering Iron with lid (high flux) 4) Wire cutter 5) Healthy brain :hmmmm: [B]Step 3:[/B] Remove the gear faceplate and take out the gear light indicator to find the right signal for the right light indicator (PRND, M/S, GND) [IMG]http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z386/fireuz/SMGRetrofit1-1.jpg[/IMG] Take out the gear light indicator: Upside view: [IMG]http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z386/fireuz/IMG-20110611-00324-1.jpg[/IMG] Downside view: [IMG]http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z386/fireuz/IMG-20110611-00343.jpg[/IMG] [B]Step 4:[/B] Upon the investigation on the original light indicator and LCI gear knob, I found that the indicator signals should goes as below wiring by tapping the extra soldered harness onto LCI lever's circuitry board. This is my blueprint of the tapped harness: [IMG]http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z386/fireuz/IMG-20110614-00352-1.jpg[/IMG] Explanation of the blueprint: The LCI Knob wiring is as follows: Pin1 (white wire): "R" indicator Pin2: "N" indicator Pin3: "D" indicator Pin4: 0V/Ground for parking/driving light illumination } dim lighting Pin5: +12V for for parking/driving light illumination } Pin6: +12V for the brighter "R", "N" and "D/S" indicator +ve signal @ "P" light: "P" indicator X1599 is the big white connector: Pin2: connect to the "P" +ve signal from knob Pin3: red wire Pin4: orange wire Pin5: yellow wire X1193 is the small white connector Pin1: grey/red wire Pin2: brown/black wire (ground) X1600 is the small maroon/purple connector Pin1: blue/white wire Pin2: red/orange wire (goes to Pin#5(with black stripe) @ X1599 & Pin#6 @ gear knob. X1599, X1193 and X1600 all these connects to the underside of the gearlever faceplate. [B]How to find the correct pin with the correct output?[/B] This can be done by try and error on each soldered output on the circuitry board by using the multimeter and 3Volt battery, with respective to the GND. I found the GND output is on the most right side of soldered pole (tapped it with brown wire) Soldering all the harness as below: [IMG]http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z386/fireuz/IMG-20110611-00326.jpg[/IMG] [B]Step 5:[/B] If you guys notice, there's no wiring tapping for the "P" indicator light. This because of there's no appropriate output for "P" indicator light signal on the circuitry board. Hence, I've to tap it manually from the inside of the knob itself, at the +ve channel on "P" light. Take out the knob cover carefully: [IMG]http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z386/fireuz/IMG-20110607-00312.jpg[/IMG] Pull back the logic circuit and u'll find the +ve signal of "P" light indicator. Tap the wire and soldered nicely. [IMG]http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z386/fireuz/IMG-20110611-00333.jpg[/IMG] [B]Step 6:[/B] Put the proper label on each connection to avoid any confusion.
