Predator_R32^p · 2nd October 2007, 21:37

so what coloured wires does it havem they should all have an earth still

Baynesey · 2nd October 2007, 21:47

red- live
black- neg

yellow- which i believe to be a dimmer, to go to the sidelights

Predator_R32^p · 2nd October 2007, 21:52

negative, thats your earth mate, where is that connected to??

Baynesey · 2nd October 2007, 21:54

think i no where ive gone wrong, i connected that to a negitive on the amp, should be on the earth im guessing???

Predator_R32^p · 2nd October 2007, 21:57

yeah mate connect the earth up to the one down the side, its under the carpet, undo the bolt under the dash, it keeps the dash on and carpet in place, also has a big spacer on it, under the carpet there will be a nut with one or two yellow and green wires going to it, just use that

Predator_R32^p · 2nd October 2007, 22:03

its ok mate let us know if you get it sorted

mattchewone · 2nd October 2007, 22:37

Can i ask a stupid question of what do they do? Whats the purpose?

Predator_R32^p · 3rd October 2007, 21:57

to show you how much voltage there is on the battery, i got mine due to running a high powered install, keeps tabs on what the battery is doing and makes sure its charging up etc

Baynesey · 5th October 2007, 03:33

PRED.....it didnt work mate!!!!!! HELP!!!!!!!!

Predator_R32^p · 5th October 2007, 23:15

where did you take the live from, the headunit??

Baynesey · 6th October 2007, 03:37

the amp the same as Al

Predator_R32^p · 6th October 2007, 09:40

see i wouldnt take it from the amp, rather take it from a switched live on the ignition, headunit, cig lighter

Baynesey · 10th October 2007, 17:48

if i was going to put this straight to the battery would i need to put a fuse on it???

Predator_R32^p · 10th October 2007, 18:22

yeah you would mate, but tbh i would just use a switched live on the cig lighter

Baynesey · 10th October 2007, 19:56

well its got nothing to do with where the power is coming from because i connected to the battery directly and it still making a horrible buzzing noise though the speaker, i dunno what to do, going to rip it all out and start again tomorrow!!!!

liam_b · 11th October 2007, 05:51
