cugsy Posted October 9, 2011 Author Report Posted October 9, 2011 I had a play with the plug connectors and the haynes wiring diagram. This is what I found. The cars black plug connector has a small (0.5mm) brown/red pin that goes to the corresponding yellow stereo plug pin. With the key in and ignition on it gives 12v...nowt with the ignition off. The wiring diagram in Haynes shows that there should be 2 more red 2.5mm (12v?) wires going to the plug. But they aren't there..hmmm. It looks like someone has fitted a feed from the battery to the cigar socket and maybe 'nicked' a red 12v ... There is a spare female bullet connector which is live without ignition - should I swap the brown,red for the red live feed? There is a fuse on the battery for the cigar socket so it might do. I could then swap the small brown/red pin and make that safe. Does any of this make sense? Cheers anyway John Quote
