I have a message centre display and the two connectors from a scrap car with several lines out in the display, does anyone know which are the main 12v and 0v wires? I can use a bench power supply to light it up. I fancy trying to repair the ribbon connections.
The two connectors are C0230 and C0233.....

C0230. Pin 8 is Aux (plus), Pin 6 is permanent (plus). Pin 9 is ground (neg).

Thanks Duncan, that'll give me something to do when I go back to work on Wed night

I should also have asked how do I power up the information display?
Thanks for your forebearance.

Could be a really interesting project this

12v to pin 8 should bring up the display information. I take a couple of the other pins to ground as well but I can't remember why, they are just soldered together on my plug. If pin 8 isn't working for you I'll look them up later

Thanks Duncan/David, pin9 = 0V Pin6 and 8 +12v IPK (Instrument pack (IPK from the German)) works fine,get outside air temp,mileage trip and car mileage.
Any suggestions to power message centre? Thanks in anticipation..

That should power the message centre, unless its on one of the other cables I have connected, I wont be able to check until tomorrow though im afraid.

That's ok, it's not urgent,it powers up ok in my car,obviously don't want to drive it mismatched,but would like to 'fiddle' on the bench.

Ok no probs, there are four or five cables I have connected on my bench connector but can't remember why I did so. I'll let you know and you can have a fiddle and maybe work out why I did it!

The trip computer button is pin 9 on C0233 to ground. So just touch it briefly to ground to replicate pushing the switch.
