Fairmont/Fairmont Ghia warning beeps in trip computer??
As most of the regulars on the forums would know, i have recently done a full dash conversion in my car. I have installed full climate control and trip computer, along with all the other gear. ie. fairmont bcm and full dash loom, power windows and antenna.
My question is to do with the trip computer warning functions.
mine will beep when i leave the lights on and turn the car off or when the dte gets to 80k's or lower.
i have done a bit of reserch and found out that the fairmont and xr6 instrument clusters are different. i swaped my cluster for the fairmont one i have and simulated and high temp fault to try and get the trip computer to give a warning. but no luck. I starting to wonder that maybe this is only a feature for the Fairmont ghia's maybe???? they might have something different in the bcm or something like that.
I know this is a petty little thing to have but the way i look at it, is that i just done a full conversion and i want everything to work like the factory.
if aany one has any ideas of help on this it would be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance
