Coolant Alarm +ve feed

[Mark Elvin]

Guys,

Can anyone suggest a place to take a +ve supply for the feed from for the coolant alarm please?

I believe the B/W wire on the diagnostics port in the passenger foot well is suitable, is this correct?

Into any ignition switched live feed from the SB.

You could also use one of these to make it easier.

They're a bit nifty, never seen them before.

Nor had I. Only minor niggle I can see with them is will the fuse box cover still close with that lot in place?

Depends where the alarm is fitted but the switched positive in the radio loom is an easy point to access and if you have a loom converter to fit the Euro style stereos you can easily remove it to splice the wires in the warmth and comfort of your house....

I've used the piggy back fuse holders as suggested by Rita.
2 used one for coolant alarm and additional temp gauge.
dead easy to use and obvious. ie anyone can see its something added and not an in line fuse hiding somewhere.
there is a restriction to the number that can be fitted but then I would run a separate fusebox
