Reply to "PS3 Diesel Upgrade Kit of P5a 5 volt style"

OK, I got all the hardware installed on the PS3 upgrade with the diesel kit.  This is not a PS3/2 kit.   Everything was replaced, lights, couplers, board, tach reader, etc.  On initial startup the P5a runs forward and reverse ok.  I am using a Z750 with a controller to do the initial test as in the manual.  

The marker lights go off when the engine is in forward, both the green and red. In reverse all 4 of the marker lights are lit.  The reverse light and headlight work ok as do the interior  lights.  I added the resistor to the red wire of the red marker lights, as stated in the addendum sheet.  

I get no 'test' sound when trying the horn or the bell.  Is this because it is a PS3 upgrade and needs the sound file loaded?

Also there is no PS3 sound file shown on the P5a page.  Can I just use the GG! PS3 sound files?

Also any great ideas on what to do with all the wires?  Wow!  Zip ties to the rescue I hope.  I did not shorten any of the kit wires, I figured it would be easier to wrap them up then cut and resolder.  I also removed all the unnecessary wires from the 40 pin plug.  

thanks for any help.  I think MTH needs to update their instruction manual for the PS3 kits.
