Mike,<br>
The connector could just be under the dash cover.<br>
That?s where I found the one on my 04.<br>
Worst case, schematic would help make and adapter to OBD standard.<br>
These thing were sold as motorcycles so they didn?t have to meet the access rules cars did.<br>
Also, just because they assembled and sold it in 99 does mean the wiring harness (and other components) aren?t older.<br>
I seen it before, where a mfg. gets a really good deal on parts and lay in a big supply. Then, they use them as long as they can.<br>
That said, it?s most likely a stock harness, as Westward didn?t make a lot of mods to the electrics or mechanical parts they didn?t have to.<br>
I know both of mine have plenty of extra plugs and wires that go nowhere.<br>
Hope this was a help.<br>
Later,<br>
Mike<br>

Thnx, mike, I thought it might be that panel. I'll tweak it! Mine is a '99. Do you know if there is a obdc-II adapter for this? Everything after '96, sold in US was supposed have a std connector. It seems to have a proprietary connector. Mike<br>

Mike,<br>
The panel I?m referring to is an exterior body panel on the right side. On my 96, it?s just in front of the wheel but is hidden when the door is open. It?s held in place by 2 Philips head screws with nuts on the inside. They, the nuts, should be visible on the interior panel on the right side. The ECU in the 96, and maybe yours, is under the dash cover just above the fuses.<br>
The rough running sounds like someone has tweaked the screw, it?s just a potentiometer and can be ?over tuned?, to high or just unplugged the governor. If it?s just unplugged, plug it up and see if the roughness goes away. If it?s still plugged up, try turning the screw 2 or 3 full turns to the left (counter clockwise) and see if that helps. What you want to do is solve the roughness and misfire issues first, then disable the governor by removing the black wire from the plug (or cut it).<br>
Hope this helps,<br>
Mike<br>

HI, Are you saying the recessed panel at the dashboard, where the fuses are located or in the engine compartment?<br>
Mine runs like one that has it unplugged, albiet goes 70+ just rough, misfiring, etc.<br>

I'm in NYC until Friday, I know it's a long shot but thought I'd see if anyone here might have a Cush or interceptor or whatever that I could borrow for<br>
a few days? I can repay the favor with my interceptor when you come to San Francisco....<br>

Steve,<br>
I too just remove the black wire from the terminal block and taped it.<br>
I did this on my 96 and 04. No governor on either.<br>
What I was talking about was just unplugging the governor box entirely at the plug.<br>
When I did that on both of mine, the ECU behaved badly. Weird idle, stalling, injectors misfiring, etc..<br>
Plugged them back up and problems when away. Unplug just the black wire then, no governor nor ECU problems.<br>
Also tried adjusting the speed via the governor, but opted for the disconnect method instead.<br>
Plus like I said, my info was based on a sample size of 2 (mine) and info gleaned from the Internet and advice from other here at SLC.<br>
Later ya?ll,<br>

Interesting. Unplugging it from the opposing terminal should have the same electrical effect as cutting it. I just took mine loose from its terminal at the other end (away from the black box) and taped it up. Voila ? no governor. If you ever want to reconnect, just re-attach the black wire on the terminal you took it off of and secure. Again, mine is a 2004, so may be there is something else involved with the older models, but you might want to try the disconnect method first if you are timid about cutting it. No harm.<br>

I have a 96 and it?s located behind the recessed panel that has the 2 screws in it on the right side as your seated in the vehicle. The panel can only be accessed from the outside with the door closed.<br>
<br>
The governor is the black box that has a plug on it. The if you cut the black wire it will disable the governor.<br>
<br>
Be advised that just unplugging it will not work. Causes the ECU to act up.<br>
<br>
If you cut the black wire be sure to do it in a way (place) it can be easily repaired.<br>
<br>
The black box has a screw on it that will allow you to adjust the speed to what you want.<br>
<br>
If memory serves me right:<br>
<br>
One revolution (turn) clock-wise increases speed by 5 mph.<br>
<br>
Set at factory for 40 mph.<br>
<br>
Again this from working on my 96.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps.<br>

Thank you for the information on the governor, I have the little buggie at the shop right now so I didn?t get a chance to locate it yet but they just called me and asked if I know where to get shocks for this thing. It?s a ?94 Westward Go-4 and their regular shock supplier said he didn?t stock anything like it? Any help on where to get rear shocks would be greatly appreciated.<br>
