Asad Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 first one is earthblue with a red strip and silver dots is power iirc does the hi/low/off part light up?? it may need to be connected to the lights Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 so blue with red strip needs to go to a switch live somewhere? what about the other one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starbuck Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Could be 12v lighting switch.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raz Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 yo man, Why don't you connect this to an external power source 12v stuff. Don't connect it in the car untill you know where all the wires go.Last thing you wanna do is fuck up the whole electronics on the car or blow fuses. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 exactly thats why im not doing anything till i know where the wires are supposed to go lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 buuuuump anyone help? really want to try get it in today but not until i know how Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shorty Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 is hard to tell from the pics but looking at it id say,1: is the earth due to the open hole lug on it and the colour.2: the blue with red stripe is power.3: the last wire is a lighting supply so needs to be on the supply for switching the lights on from the stalk.im around 98% sure if it was me i would tape the earth to a car battery neg terminal and touch the down the blue with red stripe this should feed it with on/off/high/low what ever, then take it off and touch down the last cable and it should illuminate the switch unit just to confirm before install. if i lived closer id come do it for you steve as im a sparky so love messing about with stuff like this let me know how you get on Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Steve GT Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 Right few more pics if this helps cause I've just tried taping the earth to the -ve and putting the wires on and not much happened. so after closer inspection of the wires I've noticed that the 2 lone wires are coming from different directionsThe Blue and red wires coming from the main switch while the black and white ones coming from the unithope this helps things lolThe blue and red wire also had this crimp on the end of it if this helps Quote Link to post Share on other sites
