the ecu and loom plug back together obviously. then there's a loose bit on the loom with a couple of plugs on the bottom. 
also in the corsa body loom in the footwell, there's another couple of plugs. 
 
match up the wires from the two plugs colour for colour. 
  
 
the red goes off to another part of the loom somewhere up past the battery. you'll need to extend this.

Cut the connector off of the Corsa bodywork loom and connecter off of the ECU loom and join the wires together - match the colours

  @ wiring diagrams, they were like the ones in the back of the haynes manual, made no sense to me at all! 
 
i need to get in touch with shinee as this loom looks played with already and just wanna check that its still kool to connect up, i think i can work it out now, makes a little bit more sense to me as to what plug does what. cheers guys + thanks again Joff for the manual

Thick red = 12v + So that is why you don't have any lights. The rest of the gauges and telltales will work without that because they all share a common ground and the gauge and tell tale signal wires provide the 12v + before some smart arse says otherwise.

the thick red wire there will not need connecting if u already have a thick red wire on the 2 litre loom that goes direct to the battery with an eye connector on. if the loom u used was a cavalier or calibra it will probably have that wire on

i used an astra loom and it only had one connecter on it with 4 wires and i had to cut into the wires going into the ecu for the blue and red fuel pump wire. 
i do not have any lights behind my speedo and petrol gauge is this because i do not have that thick red wire connected 
 
cheers andy

it would of been the same as mkykes picture then so there should of been 3 or 4 plugs there. as for the red wire then u shouldnt need to connect it as the live will probably be going to the battery allready
