Good and Bad

Saturday, July 24, 2010:

The good news is, I don't need to buy a wideband for the Hydra. The one attached to the AEM AFR gauge has output signals that I can use. For future reference, Tom offers this:

"OK just looked it up... There should be two pigtails out the back of the gauge. One if for the sensor wiring which you don't need to touch. The other is power&gnd with two other wires as well. one white and one blue. right now these shouldn't be connected to anything. The white wire is the 0-5v Analog output which is what we need to work with. For now run a 16-18gauge wire from the white wire at the gauge down to the nemesis with a little slack on it. I will try and mail out a couple pin connectors which will go right into the plugs on the hydra. I gotta grab my notebook which has the input/outpin pinouts for the hydra itself. Once you get the lead done and the wire installed to the proper pin of the hyrda connector, we will have to do a phone call and I will walk you through how to calibrate the hydra for the proper output of the gauge so it will work with the system the way you want it."

The bad? I'm adding to the list of things to work on...

* The driver's side headlight was full of condensation after the heavy rain yesterday. It is also missing the HID equipment.

* The right rear turn signal has condensation, too, but that's not much of a surprise. Still, I want to tend to it.

* One of the fog lights is out. This could be as simple as a bulb, or... ??? (Update: Bad bulb; fixed July 25)
Photobucket

* The dashboard brightener button (used to put the dash lights to bright when dimmed with the headlights on, for use in daylight) was disconnected for a failed attempt at meshing with the cruise control, whose controls are not present on the wheel.

I hope none of this overlaps. I need to compile the list complete!
