Reliable drivers side door earth

[Lewy]

In the middle of this job and looking for a reliable earth to finish the HAwk alarm install.

If I use the basttery earth - or any bolt on the car the actuator works just fine - but if I try to earth to any bolt or screw on the door itself I just get a click from the relay BUT it does not push the plunger properly up.

I'm sure there is an earth there somewhere any ideas where to plumb in though?

Thanks in anticipation

hi yes there is a good earth on the door it sits behind the door foil and iam sure it was pretty central on the door,i fitted a complete remote locking set-up inside the o/s/f door and it works fine.





cheers.

Thanks Steviebongo - I found a wired earth on the windo switch loom - and have used that - its the black wire - righthand side of the plastic block as you look at it from the top. All seems to be working fine anyway.

Use one of the conveniant screw holes on the inner door skin

That was the problem - it did not offer a good enough earth for the relay to work properly. I tried all sorts of screws and bolts. Infact looking back I did have intermintent problem with it first time round - thought it was the unit - but might have been the earth after all.
