Hi guys

I have everything out ready to install a triple pod in my bf turbo, I just can't seem to find anywhere a definite link or info on what wires to tap into for

Positive

Negative

Accessories

Illumination

I have been looking everywhere and all the posts have just had a couple of wires but nothing saying red wire here, black wire here etc etc

I originally had a twin pod installed but had issues with illumination so I'm trying to find a concrete way to install them that won't cause me issues

Thanks for any help guys

Can anyone help me out?

Power socket has a unused lamp that can do the Illumination

Then I took power from the power socket,

And accessory from the ICC somewhere, think yellow wire or something like that.

Edit, just twist wires onto the illumination and test it initially to make sure you have right side of circuit or it wont work.

Which wire in the unused lamp is it for light?

What were your issues with illumination on the previous set up?

I joined into the illumination for the traction control switch, but be aware if your gauges are illuminated with smd's rather than conventional globes you may have probs trying to get them to dim. Leds seem to dim ok.

The issue was before when the car wasn't on the gauges would hold colour fine, but as skins s the car would start they would dim straight away and slowly turn white instead of the colour I chose...

But I figured it was because I wired the gauges to the clock wiring and it wasn't good enough

Anyone know why it won't have memory? Would it be due to my + and -?

Most likely due to your constant positive being hooked to a non constant (switched ) positive. As soon as you start the car the voltage drop/interuption will cause the gauges the forget your settings and go into a default ( white ) mode.

Double check your constant + is hooked to a permanantly live wire- use a test light for this.

Is the cigarette lighter power constantly?

No it isn't
