A wee wiring query

Post by helen&tony » Sat Jun 29, 2013 8:38 am

Hi
I'm just re-wiring some "stuff" onto the LB directly, with up-graded cabling, and I am wiring the radio direct, and with a switch instead of ignition
2 queries...
1/. I can't make out the colours of the +ve wires in the wiring diagram, as it's a bit blurred, but ignition circuit seems to be red with blue?, and the permanent blue?...is that correct?
2/. there seems to be one earth in the wiring diagram...the fact sheet says 2 ?
I had planned to just get a meter out and find the permanent and switched live connections on the ISO wiring adapter I have on the back of the radio, and swap those direct to the LB, the ignition one switched via a dash switch...will I need to put a separate earth on...I thought not?
Reason for swapping, I don't want alarm problems, as the fusebox connections share with other circuits
Cheers

Hi Helen, Just got back from our travels!
The Switched power wire is Blue, the standby power is Blue with Red stripe.

Earth is on 2F, 4A and 5A of the Mazda J1-01 connector but only available on ISO A pin 8

Hi Geoff..
I hope your travels were good. Anywhere nice?
I'll take a look at that info. on Thursday, and pull the radio out...Currently (pun intended), I'm finishing off tidying some wiring on the Bongo...I have to seriously get wiring on the LB running separate 25 amp lines to each fag lighter..fused for the rear at each end, and I'm putting some nice lamps in the rear for camping...all off the LB direct, with the Radio....I think the alarm may get problems if the radio is wired to the LB direct at the Bongo fusebox with the Willinton kit connections, as the 2 fuses the kit uses are shared with door contacts, and they trigger the alarm which is running off the SB ...
Thanks
I'll post how I get on
Cheers

Hi
I'd not forgotten...I looked in the "wiring" box, and I've run out of switches :lol: ..plenty of wire, relays, fuseboxes...so I've ordered some from the UK, and I'll write result when the stuff gets here...
Cheers
