I have recently been declared the lucky winner of an overhead console complete with trip computer on eBay. The problem being, my current console is merely wired for courtesy lights. I am getting the the necessary plug and wires from my dealer. I am not afraid of splicing wires; I am, however, worried about crossing wires. I installed a console in my Dakota and it worked great, but I had a schematic, which I now lack.... Any one have access to a scematic (preferably with pictures)? Or any preliminary test list of pins and proper voltages?

 

What year truck do you have?

 

99 Ram Sport 1500, 318, 5-speed

 

The DIY section has a download of the 2001 service manual. It has the wire diagrams in it. I'm not sure if they changed the wiring from year to year though.

 

Thans dude... Is there a techie that can tell if it's the same 99 through 01?

 

I puta mini o/hcomputerin my '01 that only had the courtesy lights.

You have to get the entire wiring harness that plugs in beside the emergency brake. Otherwise, the fuel calculator etc. will not work. You also have to get the outside temp sensor.

Be prepared for lots of cursing and carved up hands feeding the wires under the dash.

 

I'm ready for that, but I'm a simple man and simple men need pictures.... Anyone happen to have a color diagram?
