Polaris would fix my old style converter, so I bought a used converter wiring harness and enclosed converter from a supposedly good running gem. I have two questions: 1. Is there a 16 pin male to male that was originally supposed to go with the kit? I don’t have one… Rodney or Inwo do you know if there is a gem part number or generic one available to purchase? Can someone tell me how the green wire is tapped into the zivan charger from the timer? Thanks! Jeff ---

You need to unplug the green wire that is plugged in the charger. It won’t let me post the link but just Google “gem car converter update” there is pdf from the DOT that gives you the instructions and wiring diagram. ---

Thank you I have the bulletin, but I guess I didn’t understand it. Can you tell me what I need to do with the green wire that I unplugged from the zivan charger? Thanks, Jeff ---
