Hi all,

bought one of those eBay gear indicators.

it mentions to locate the “red 4-pole male diagnostic connector (DLC) near the ECU box”

would anyone like to help me in locating this!?

images attached are of the instructions and of the connections provided.

TIA

 

I don't believe there is such a thing on the F4. these have very "dumb" electrical systems and don't have what most people would define as a computer.

 

Yeah, no ECU or DLC connector on F4. That unit is for F4i or later models with EFI.

Make sure you get standalone gear-indicator. F4 doesn’t have ECU that communicates with gear-indicator. So you want to get unit with 2 separate up & down switches that detects movement of shifter. Anything that needs to connect to ECU DLC port won’t work.

 

I mean.. I’m hardly surprised the AliExpress ad has lied to me. My fault for not checking properly beforehand I guess.

Do you have any products you could point me towards?

 

Something like this should work. Comes with magnet you put on shift-lever/pedal. Then 2 reed-switches that detects movement of magnet up/down to increment countre. Tricky part is making mounting bracket for switches
