Hi All

I hope to fit a 7 way to relay today.  Tried yesterday and gave up

As I can tell...

Rear LH as you look at the car from the back:

Indicator - BLACK/WHITE
Tail - GREY/BLACK
Brake & Tail - BLACK/RED

Rear RH

Indicator - BLACK/GREEN
Tail - BLACK/PURPLE
Brake & Tail - GREY/GREEN

Reverse - BLACK/BLUE

Is there anywhere in the boot I can get a switched live for the relay?  Don't really want it on all the time from the 12v Acc Socket?

Also is there any way to check these with a multimeter.  I assumed yesterday that the CANBUS system prevents this.
Finally are the SCOTCH-LOCK connectors ok for this?

Thanking you all in anticipation.

....

I don't have a clue about such things, so all I can do to help is to 'bump' this thread..



^ Isn't she lovely? ^

VC:
i do know that others recommend solder and heatshrink in that area mate rather than scotchlocking due to the slamming of the boot and the effect over time on the gripped connection in the block  :happy2:

for the wiring, i cant help though...used to have a CD with all that info on  :sad1:

SteveP:
As the small fruit man says solderd wires with proper heat shrink is the way to go.

As for a switched live why not take a feed off the back of the 12v accessorie socket in the boot  :happy2:
