Hello,
Last fall I bough a Granduca 67 motorhome which is Fiat Ducato id TD 2.8 based. In the process of renowating and upgrading it I have managed to get my hands on a perfectly working Vdo Dayton MS 5000 navigation PC.
The installation is almost complete and all the wires are connected besides two (a common problem it seems):
1) Speed pulse - I understand that probably the best spot to pickup the signal would be behind the instruments panel but unfortunately I have difficulties in accessing it. After unscrewing it it won't come out and I'm afraid on pulling it to avoid snapping cables/wires. I have sought an easy way to remove the entire dashboard but it seems an awful lot of work for just one wire. I can access all the wire looms under it and are quite confident with splicing but need indication on which one may be the correct one. Unfortunately seems like this model is not covered in the manuals available.
2) Reversing light - this one is actually not essential but I'd like to have a complete installation I understand that this light is switched from the engine bay, can anyone advise which wire to pickup for the signal? As I'm also mounting an audio system, rear view cameras and CB I have everything opened up to pass the cables so no problems with accessing any wiring
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I have surfed the web far and wide but found no precise indication where to look
