Tech query... Wiring for switched 12v & earth on ECM

[Wabbitkilla]

Looking to power my innovate from the boomslang harness.

What i need to know is which are the best places to get a switched 12v and an earth from.

The ECM terminals page suggests E2-16 for switched power and E4-17

Anyone got any better advice / information?

Them's the ones ... E4-17 is the common ground for the car's many sensors. As an alternative you can solder on a ring/spade connector and clamp it at an ECU chassis mounting point (you'll need Russ's torx bit for that  s:wink: :wink: s:wink:  ).

Although E2-16 is a switched 12V, I've noticed that the WB warm-up cycle freezes when you start the car (but power isn't cut). An irritation but no biggie. Haven't found a workaround to that.

We took Kris's LC1 power & earth from the dashboard and it works fine ... but if you're planning to use the WB analogs its best to earth at pin 17.

Cheers mate.

Will be wiring and fusing a remote connector so the innovate can be unplugged if need be. I just wish my "Option" harnesses were here then i could be done and finished.

Have a goodun
