I want to put this switch in( or should I say have YT do it for me) but I just realized that I cannot get my power mode to kick in The light works because I see it when I turn the key on but when I jump on the gas it will not kick in. Anybody have any ideas before I bring in down south to YT & Co.?

But anyway, the pin A4 thing works differently from the whole "slam the pedal" bit, so you'll be fine either way. |

So, the switch that I have right now for "power mode" wouldn't turn into the new "manual mode" switch if I swap out the wires in A4 and A6?

OK. I just re-read your posts. Now I understand. Yeah, if you swap the wires then the switches will swap over.

Done. I mounted a switch inside my ashtray and drilled a hole through the back for the wires. There's a 10mm nut that's easy to reach behind the ashtray that works perfectly for the ground. We got about a foot of snow today, so I haven't had a proper opportunity to test it out yet, but it seems to help the hesistation I get in lower RPM's.

Alright, after a bit more fun: This rocks!!!
I still have no opportunity to mash the pedal and see what happens, but it's much easier to get the car sideways around a corner. Before I had to get on the gas in advance of where I wanted to car to break free, now I can hit it wherever and there's instantly a kick and then spinning tires and then sideays and countersteering and ZOOM! And a Hemi Charger driver with a hurt look on his face when he caught up to me at the next light.

great scott, definately the best cost to benifit ratio yet. i used the wife method to test and this is what i found after she drove it today without knowing what i did.
wf:what did you do to the car and how much did it cost? me: wf:did you put something in the gas? meower mode switch, what do ya think? wf:i think my neck is sore from trying to hold my head off the seat. me: nice!!!!!! really, this should have been standard on ours too, but it's easy enough to do so what are you waiting for? |

Did mine today. I skipped the switch and just grounded it. I probably would never turn power mode off anyway
Thanks for the research into this and the how to thread that is linked with the pics - it made it very easy!
