As far as i can see, joining the red wires or the brown wires will do the same thing, just further up. So yes.

Meanwhile, does anyone know what Amp rating the connector would need to be?

I see these in halfrauds:

But will an 8A connector just melt/combust? Anyone know?

Might be it's not big enough anyway, I've not looked at them in person yet. Just went on my lunch break, ignition wouldn't turn, then did and now I have the shitey trinity of faults.

What you are looking at getting is a bullet block connector

The in-line crimp connectors. Seems the easiest way, if they'll stand up to it.

boarer2004 · 21st February 2010, 16:44

No the bullet connector is the best and easiest way to do this as shown in first post

Just come accross this problem, i'll follow your guide tomorrow when i do it.

Just in case anyone doesn't know, the little coloured rubber connectors are actually called butt connectors.

if this is the problem and the way to fix it.. what is really the problem,
how come doing this will make them work. sorry just dont understand does that mean my ecu is crap and not working my PAS

boarer2004 · 13th June 2010, 20:51

It's a bypass from the barrel which is now faulty this why you have got these 3 not working and by bypassing the barrel the current can complete it's circuit

gazzainayr · 21st September 2010, 22:21

will try that tommorow..cheers mate,,your a star

liamsaxo91 · 6th October 2010, 18:18

Ive just had these three problems, and my battery light had come on too, is this normal?

This might also sound stupid, but do you do this bypass thing with the engine running or not?

MUFC_Ritch · 12th January 2011, 13:37

Cheers for this i did this little mod and its worked for a couple of days then it all failed again but it was due to a conection further down the line got it solderd up and its all good now good pics aswell really helped

Goldsax · 12th January 2011, 17:31

Ive never had this problem with my saxos :/...ive had a 2 x 97', 2 x 99', 2 x 00 plates from a 1.4 to a vts...and non have had this problem :/, only last week all this stopped working, but it was just a fues...can you explain where the 2 red wires run to? (the other end of where you looped it) and by doing this will it not stop somthing else working/ short somthing? thanks

MUFC_Ritch · 12th January 2011, 18:34

it runs to the end of the ignition barrel all the looping does it complete the circuit so they still work , so it bypasses the bad connection of the ignition

Goldsax · 12th January 2011, 23:28

ah, thats all i needed to know

thanks

boarer2004 · 1st February 2012, 22:39

Easy fix for power steering is to take a hammer to the metal part of it while the car is off then again while it's on sound stupid but works

Thanx Boarer2004 cyber hugs to you lol

boarer2004 · 23rd December 2012, 20:21

Glad it worked for you my car is still running with this fix after all these years

Other faults can cause same symptoms, so check your alternator is giving 14v when engine running at battery terminals, so 14v at battery. 2. remove battery cable from alternator output and clean any corrosion. disconnecting battery beforehand and re connecting afterwards
