Shift Light Problem

[cheetah]

Hello.

I have installed a Raptor shift light, and am having some problems. Installation manual can be seen here:

I have tried all of the various settings, and it lights up at different rpms depending on whuch gear I am in (6-speed, 2002 S). I know that my tach signal wire that this is connected to works properly as my GPS reads the rpms correctly from this wire.

How is our ignitions set up? I believe that we have one coil per cylinder, but does it fire multiple times per rotation?

Anyone else had problems / success with a shift light? I bought this one because I was looking for a small enclosure, as I don't like the huge shift light looks.

Thanks in advance,

Paul

Sounds to me like you didn't set the shift light for a 6 cyl car. Most of them have wires you have to snip so it knows if it's a 4-6 or 8 cyl. Have you done anything in particular to the light so it knows how many cylinders you have? That affects the tach-o output from the computer and it will get 50% more or less readings if your in the wrong mode.

Is has a 3-way toggle setup to tell it the number of cylinders, and I did that. It didn't work, and neither did any other combination (I tried them all).

Anyone have a shift light in use on a 986?
