I was surprised to see that the
Vanos Solenoid Switch Box was nearly $200.
Come on. It's a box with 2 switches and a $3 connector.
When I saw that the
+12 V cable was another $200, that put me over the top.
I started thinking I should make some and sell them on eBay, but
A) I don't have that kind of time
B) I don't need the money
C) I couldn't profit off you guys
After a bit of research, I came up with this. Has more LEDs, and a diode and fuse in case you have brain fade and hook it up backwards.
Which switch is intake/exhaust and which pin is advance/retard is a bit of an educated guess based on the signal abbreviations and Google Translate.
Tischer sells
the connector for $3, and the pins for about $2 each.
Everything else you can get from Radio Shack or equivalent.
RealOEM, and everybody else lists
2 possible pin types. One is rectangular 0.2x0.5mm. The other is square 0.75mm. No cutoff date is given. I'll buy a set of each and see what fits.
