Hello,
It seems to me that some people had installed a console mounted switch for the fuel setting on your sled last season so that a person wouldn't have to open the hood to 'hook' and 'un-hook' the designated wired for fuel type. I also have done this, but need some clarification on how this set-up works, so try to hang with me here... It seems that it would be so simple(it's just a 2-way switch, run an extension of each wire to a 2-way toggle switch ....) or maybe I am putting more thought into it that really needs to be, but I'm hoping between all of us this can be cleared up.
Here is the situation:
The sled(02ZR800CC) states that for standard gas, the wires are to be connected. For oxygenated fuels, have wires dis-connected. I was curious why when my switch on the console is in the "OFF" position, I get a reading of 6.8 ohms and when it is in the 'ON' position, I get a reading of 0 ohms. If I un-hook the switch at the ECU and put the tester between the 2 wires out of the ECU, I also get a reading of 6.8 ohms. witch, unless I am mistaken, that would be the simulation of having these 2 wires connected. Can someone please explain this situation, I am simply trying to figure this out so that I know what condition is being created when I have the switch in the 'ON & 'OFF' position.
If any more info is needed to try to figure this out, just ask and I will provide. Thanks a bunch!
