Is the back a multi plug?
If so, are the pins numbered in anyway?

hi,
it was me you bought that from,i had a quick look and couldn't get a diagram for it+changed to using a car engine in mine, so wasn't
really suitable anyway.
good luck with it

Right, now you have the numbers, drop Radical an email and ask if they can give you the wiring diagram or legend for the numbers.

trial and error...
send it to me and i will work it out for you.
Its easy! even because 99% of the thing you know what to do with the pin to get an reaction of the board..
Tks

Try emailing some radical owners and see if they have a manual.

Is it possible to work out which are the main live and earths. After that i would have thought some of the pins are straight forward live inputs to
make a light etc work.
Do you have a power probe? Its poss to seperate the lives and earths with one of those.
Id guess the tricky inputs will be the revs, speed etc (ie the variable inputs) but even these shouldnt be too difficult as i would guess they are
just fed with variable voltage from the sensors - putting in 12V should give max readings.
As always - usual disclaimers apply.

Can you take a good photo of the inside board and we can all have a nosey and see what we can work out.

photo
here is the photo
the pcb has radical dash board pcb606 iss4 on it
above the conection block the orange thingies i dont know what they are
anyway they are marked from left to right s2 s3 s1 s6 s4 s5 s7 s8 s9 s10 s11 s12 s13 s14 f1
f1 is not the same as all the other thingies its yellow and more of a round shape
sorry for the crap descriptions but i am not into electronics
but i have a feeling i am about to learn
cheers dave

It might be worth getting a close up of the plug / connection area. Can you also indicate on the pcb area what is on the other side? (ie where warning
lights and gauges are etc).
What the boffins will try and do is follow the pcb tracks to a specific area or light etc to try and eliminate some of theeasy ones.
The trick is to find the main live and earth. This should power the dash up. From there some of the other terminals can be tested. Im not sure if they
will take a full 12V input or 5V from the engine bay sensors.

Try also looking for some special codes etc and do a search on internet. If you hit lucky you might find the circuit diagram or maybe the manufacturer
who might be more willing to help.

OK lets start!
I can already tell you wich is live and wich is ground.
You see the Voltage ragulator?
The big black humb?
His chasis is always ground (99% of cases)
soow take the polimeter and start bleeping the pins again that chasis.
The one you find is Earth.
2) if you take the left pin from the three looking from above. and pins in down direction. that the voltage feed!
search between that pin and another small one and you have voltage feed!
now i need better pics to say more.
Tks
test it anyway with the conector you see.
on the right one of the pins need to be earth. Don't fool you if it goes to another small pin, because maybe its the backlight wich you connect
to your lights of the car..
also look at the black lump the code on it tells you if it is an voltage regulator and how much it is.
if it has xx78xx in his name it is one 100%.
make an closeup.. anyway of it.
