live sockets
Well I read all the info on making the rear 12 volt socket permanantly live and did the job to-day. Cut the feed to the three 15amp fuses on the top row and branched a feed in from the other top row fuses. BINGO!! socket live and blinds also with ing key out. Problem, beeper beeping and sidelights on. Think again, took the new feed out and ran one from battery. Same problem. Put it all back to square one and had a think. I have now taken a feed from the rear interior light to a new socket and all is well. I also today did the fuel sender earth wire and the guage is now A1. I am new to Bongos and this website is worth it's weight in gold. My 3inch memory foam mattress is now installed and is really good. Found a semi retired moter mechnic and he did cambelt, fuel filter, alt belts, air con belt and drilled out No 1 stud and heli coiled it all for £90. (I had all the parts) Now waiting to be waxoyled and we will be off. Are the side lights ment to be on all the time?

Lights on a la volvo
My side lights are on all the time the ingnition is on same as volvo. Is this normal???
no your side light should not only be on all the time the ignition is on when. you turn it to the first click on the stick thats when the side lights should come on then when you turn it again the full beam should come on.
if this has been like this for a while then most likely a custom job done in japan no doubt.

if you handy with electrics then try trace the wires and see if you can find where their modified and retrace them back to where they should be wired up to or get a motor electrician to do it.
