Adding a resistor will do nothing to help.

you are probably mixing up that with adding a capacitor to a circuit design to reduce electromagnetic incompatibility.

adding a fuse, on the otherhand may be useful s:D

the system has a 40 amp fuse in, if the fuse value is to high would that affect the amp?

mr2mark · March 21, 2007, 21:51

well try a 10amp fuse...... The worse thing that can happen is blowing the fuse..... its safer than 40amp.

You can't see electric when it's leaking. No wonder Dan's having problems. s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

Anonymous · March 22, 2007, 23:12

I've got friends over all weekend bud so will be a tad busy, but let me know how you get on with it.

Rich, i'm going to try and re-arrange a date with Liz to do hers, perhaps we can do yours at the same time?

rtbiscuit · March 23, 2007, 22:12

that would be great,

i am going to try a few of the test mentioned previously, to see if i can get it to power up on its own.

rtbiscuit · March 24, 2007, 11:36

when removing a scotch lock, or wire connected to one. do i leave the lock in place and just cut loose the wire i need. or can i remove the lock.

i need to move my live feed from the black wire to the blue and white if i am correct.

blue and white is the ariel isn't it?

what was the black?

and if i do this will the supercharger noise go?

markiii · March 24, 2007, 12:01

remove the lock completely (carefully) and tape over teh cut

rtbiscuit · March 24, 2007, 12:02

cheers

do yourself a favour though Rich, dont use scotchlocks, they are quicker but are terribly unreliable

rtbiscuit · March 24, 2007, 12:21

what should i use instead

Liz · March 24, 2007, 12:33

As for dates I am available on next Sat and Sun if any use, we can go for lunch if you like, room around mine to do the work if necessary.

rtbiscuit · March 24, 2007, 13:06

sounds like a plan!

rtbiscuit · March 24, 2007, 19:06

Have got it all running! s:bounce: :bounce: s:bounce: s:mrgreen: :mrgreen: s:mrgreen: s:bounce: :bounce: s:bounce: s:D

s:D

swapped the remote wire over to the blue and white!

was a bit hit and miss, first time i did it, it all worked, the started to put the dash back together and then it wasn't working.

so dismantled again, checked all connections, and tidied the wires up in the bin, disconnecting them all and reconnecting. tried again and it was all working.

tested as i put it back together at all stages and it is all working super. he amp is on, the sub works and the setup sounds great!

my only problem was that when i came to move the car i had run the battery flat. s:roll: :roll: s:roll: managed to push start it, but then the power steering had gone! s:x :x s:x went for a drive came back turned off. came back 5 min later, and now the power steering is fine. s:D

s:D

so its all A.O.K s:D

s:D

tomorrow i shall check the fluid level for the pwer steering when it is daylight!

kanujunkie · March 24, 2007, 22:01

rtbiscuit · March 25, 2007, 00:05

rtbiscuit · March 25, 2007, 13:41
