Cnthinkoname Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 Hello, I connected the VSS wire on my car by using a wire tap and some solid copper wire going to the HU into the pink wire. I looked at the unit and it always read 0 for the wire. What could be causing this? Thanks, Michal Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ixian Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 It's not tapped right, is what's wrong. I used a T-tap myself on mine and had the same problem. You need to splice the wire in and solder or crimp it. I cut mine, used a butte connector, and crimped, and now it works fine. T-taps (vampire taps, etc) don't really work that great for all but the most basic signals - the reverse wire, for example. The VSS sends a constant signal and is very voltage-sensitive so you really want a solid connection there. I mean, it can be done, it has been done, but look where you're at Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cnthinkoname Posted May 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Alright, I'll solder it and heat shrink wrap it. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1loudls Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 also use a meter and make sure that you have the right wire Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cnthinkoname Posted May 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Soldered and heat shrinked it bit it still didn't work and I got PISSED. Then I went to the radio side and it turns out the butt connector fell off and the wire seperated . All good now! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
