i am well confused

with the ignition on what gives k5 k7 power so you can use windows mirrors n heater without the engine running ??

to my understanding its the breen/black wire

hi brian kool so i have went wrong there for a start i thought it was live as soon as the ignition was turned on see this pin 15 is it opposite pin 4 ??? when i look at my c101 plug i have 1 2 (3blank) 4 5 6 and so on when i look at wiki c101 plug it looks like pin 15 is opposite 4 but mines is blan...

update spent sat/sun on this problem and still no further forward :( :( this black/green wire issue i cut the loop off the starter end and put a new connection loop on but that didnt work no surprise there to be honest from what i can gather from mrlee is that when you turn the ignition on this blac...

kool think i got it now

thank you and brian very much for your help

ok think i know what you mean lol

so when the ignition is on am i right in thinking that this wire becomes live

so could i say take a wire from the starter and bypass the 101 plug and rejoin it just past the plug

mrlee
can you tell me if this is live or not

could i chop it say at the c101 plug and if its live take a jump from sumwhere else before it goes into the fuse box
i know its a quick fix but i just want it to work

do you have any suggestions of to what might be wrong ????

sorry mr moooore for not making myself clearer
yeah i guessed that about the wire having a coat on it

what do you recomend doing to the green/black wire would i chop off the ring and put a new connector on it

turned car off took keys out and everything still worked until i took the jumper wire off

took k1 out and put it in k5 and nothing works

update

took out k5 + k7 used thicker wire and jumped 30 to 87 now everything works including heater and wing mirrors so i guess i got 2 relays knackerd

hi mrlee no the interior lights do not work with door open yes i can turn them on/off manually with doors open/closed yeah i can hear 2 clicks first click sounds like from drivers side second click sounds like from passenger side fuse 10 + 17 are both ok yeah windows and sunroof only work when drive...
