Ah well. Basically I have got all the hardware mentioned below. The list I was going to give to Cartronics was:-
1. Lightbar needs fixing. Probable fault is loose wire(s) under steering wheel. Should come on with headlights; controller is black 2-button switch to l/h of steering wheel, low down.
2. Front spots. Need replacing with the Hellas that are in the box. They should come on at the same time as the lightbar (but presently don’t so that needs fixing too). Query if new bulbs needed for spots for better lighting?
3. Horn & amp.
a. Please locate in engine bay, if possible n/s rear. Please wire to the single switch & wire the push switch to change the tone. Switch to go on r/h side of instrument binnacle.
b. Query – possible to hook up to CB radio to use as PA?4. 4-switch to go to r/h of (old & to be removed) bracket. To be wired up for
a. Air horn, presently on old bracket switch
b. Hide-away lights. Those to go somewhere highly visible on front. Query if can be / need to be put into reflective housing i.e. one of the sets of lights or a new one? Query also re how to change flashes. See picture – alternating flashes required. Switch required as per siren or amp or alternative way of doing it?
c. Rear spots, presently on old bracket switch
d. Fly lead for S4x4 radio, currently on black/red wires (one wire detached in engine bay).5. Any / all redundant wires going to old bracket (or anywhere else!) to be removed as far back as possible!
Mate of mine has wired up “3” (in the sense of sitting in the garden & doing it with a Bench supply, rather than actually fitting it in) so I know how that works (and it’s really now just a case of locating a decent power supply / relay etc & slotting in)
Bet you’re sorry you asked! But if you’re not then I’m more than happy to provide further info / pics etc.
TBH, electrics are a slightly “black art” so far as I am concerned – and I know when I have hit my limits on ’em. So any assistance VERY gratefully received :gr8:
Got to go off air now but back on by 09:00 or so tomorrow
