Anyone install a Raptor?

I want to install my Raptor Shift Light that I orginally bought for my Mystic and put it in the 05. Does anyone have a "how to" on how to do this? I did a search and could't find anything and the one on the Raptor site is kinda sloppy.

Thanks in advance

I used the Alternate Wiring Method to PCM at the bottom of the page.

TOM281 installed one with other gages. I will try to find his thread. If you PM him I know he will respond quickly. He's very helpful.

EDIT.... found it. http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showthread.php?t=58689

Jesse,

This is probably the thread you were looking for:

http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showth...ghlight=raptor

I used this post in conjuction with Raptor's website to install it. I wired it to the coil, not the PCM, for the switch. For the power: I just attached it to the same fuse as I did for my mirror, which is what the radio is connected to.

If memory serves, there is a rubber grommet on the firewall near the clutch, but it was only visible from the engine compartment (it is covered up by some foam or something in the interior). I then just pulled back the carpet and punched through the foam on the firewall to go through to the interior compartment.

You can attach the trigger wire to any coil, so I did the one closest to the firewall, and put wire loom over it for a factory like install.

Also, just in case you didn't realize it, the pics on raptor's website can be clicked so that they are bigger.

yup, I did the same thing. But the instructions on the Raptor page were vague at best.

There are 3 plugs. The middle plug has a red and red in 35/36 wire up the red to either of those for switched 12V. The very bottom plug had the green/white in pin 17. Wire the green up to it for the coil signal.

Nowhere does it say they are in seperate plugs. But this works flawlessly.
