From CEM to VEM, from LED to lightbulb and more. If you have an electrical problem, like a broken info-centre, search for answers in this category. This is also the place to be when you expect the problem to be of an electrical nature...

Info Centre Multi Plug Pins

Post by Loaded7302 » Tue Jul 08, 2014 7:14 pm

Hello. Could someone please give me some information on the Volvo 480 cluster.

Which Pins from the grey and green plugs on the back of the cluster power the Information Centre?

Any help regarding how the Information Centre works would be much appreciated.

That's actually like asking for the meaning of life!! :wall:

There arw actually some downloads available from the club homepage that may prove useful, as long as you can read Dutch! ;)

the HBOL does have various circuit diagrams, some are sort of true some are not, it does seem to vary between models/year etc

for me the speedo would ONLY work when powered up hanging in the front footwell. everytime it was fitted back into place it would die, it might have been the connection to the MPG part etc so it now has a DIRECT power feed from the fan switch illumination :eek: (I should have had a spare connector that I could plug in without removal of dash-board) ;)

Jim

was the offer of connectors directed at me?

I meant a 'loose' single connector out the front of the dash-board that I could plug into the mpg trip side to confirm/deny that I'd found the fault. I am happy enough to accept that the mpg is OK anyway!! :-0
