i'm on uni holidays at the moment so i'm free after 12 or when ever i wake up, i'll look at mine tomorrow cause i'm looking at making mine ignition fed so the battery doesn't die due to my incompetance, anywayz i'll post what i find and if you need any more help i'll come down.

 

 

Ignition fed. Nice idea. I may need to look into that, forever leaving my lights on. Not too much of an issue as Rolla's are pretty easy to push start but so annoying.

 

Another thing to jot down in the front page of my manual to do. :laff:

You can try that but didn't you say both sides are acting different, cause the lights are hooked up in parallel in the harness.

Yeah when i used to drive to work i'd leave when it was dark then get to work when it was light, so totally forget about the lights ;)

You can even buy a little automatic system from jaycar pretty cheap, been bored lately so might do that :laff:

well it turns out it worked. i switched over another unit from a late ke30.

and i have everything working.

but have now lost dash lights and horn.

horn will probs jst be from when i but the boss back on. dash lights i have no idea.

 

anyways i'm now on the hunt for an early 30 unit so that way i know the wiring is 100%correct.. but for the moment its working and i'm stoked.

 

when i said both sides were acting different that was caused by the blown bulb i believe.

and so this morning i realised my rear brake parkers and liscence plate lights all werent' working.

 

so i thought.. i'll change the unit back and swap the stalk only. and same thing was happening that originally was.

 

upon messing around it worked out of no where. i was like wtf.

so i inspected the plugs. the plug on the unit was fine. the body loom plug had a problem.

one of the earthing wires had slipped back.. i pushed it forward with some pliers and PRESTO!! everything works again as it should. yay. something so freaking simple.. but yet so hard to find.
