so it works???? where was the dry joint?

Dunno whether it works yet. Found the dry joint in one of my solder joints (oops) on the connection between the torque sensor and ECU.

Going to the shed after lunch.

All I will say is

Pay more attention to where the wire is going rather than its supposed colour.

The blue wire was actually black.

I had the power going to the blue wire which was in pin 13, I had counted wrong. The wire in pin 12 was black.

Thanks for all your assistance Craig, all I need to do now is sort out the horn and the twin headlamp setting on the stalks.

Both good points.

Unfortunately the last event of this season was cancelled so its going to be next spring time until I get a chance to try it in anger.

I have the Manta re-engine job to keep me busy over the winter, so I'll do a wee bit more on the Cinq next weekend, tidy up a few loose ends, and then put it in the shed.

As promised, the few wee jobs nearly done. Only the full beam issue to sort out.

Steering working, all the dash bolted back in, managed to make the horn work with a cvurly cable.

I know my workshop is always cold, even in the height of summer, but there wasn't any actual ice yesterday afternoon.
