Dash carpeted, and a slight lighting problem...

Post by Crazy_C » Wed Jan 19, 2011 11:05 pm

Couple of updates.


Got the dash carpeted now and really pleased with the outcome on it :)

One problem did arise though, my lights and indicators no longer work :( So after studying wiring diagrams and various other bits, I'll try a couple of things tomorrow morning, otherwise, I'll just make my own wiring loom and switch bank for the lights. Shouldn't be too hard - ignition live to a switch for:
- lights
- main beam
- front fogs
- rear fogs

And just wire an ignition live constantly to the sidelights.


The hazards and indicators have stopped working too, so will have to see if I can get that working again off the OEM switches, just cos it's useful and more used to having them there.

Dash looks good, but the lights thing is annoying. This since the V8? How much of the engine loom did you have to hack up?

Nah, the lights problem is just since this morning :( Was tidying up some switches for the fog lamps, and spark, pop, smoke and 2 relays and 4 fuses later, still nada :(


Probably just going to make my own wiring loom I think, or I'll just hook the wiring for the right side up to the left, which still works for some reason?

Triple Gauge Pod Fitted

Post by Crazy_C » Wed Jan 26, 2011 10:46 pm

I've fitted a triple pod into the car this morning, and found that the pod fits perfectly on the pillar. Bearing in mind, I have no pillar trim, I was really impressed by the fitment of it :D Total cost for the pod + gauges = £35 :D

Image




Next step is to do the lights wiring loom tomorrow. Wish me luck! :lol:

Cheers dude :D


Lights are sorted, just need to drill some holes in the switch panel for the switches to poke through, and hook up the live and earths on the switches to make them work and illuminate :)
