i have just done a retro fit on my cab all was well untill i turned the engine off and it carried on running i disconected the plugs behind the dash and it switched off........both connectors behind the dash plug into the block and i was led to believe you cant plug them in the wrong place
one is green the other white anyone got any ideas as to what is wrong
i know this has been posted before but people often post replies with abbreviations and it has left me confused
ps i know what a obc is though

I had this problem when i fitted mine, appparently those two wires going into the control box are something to do with the code function. So unless you really want to use that feature i would just leave those wires unpluged.

If you do want the code function, i've no idea how to solve the problem :lol:

Does it have a black wire? If so i believe that goes to the indicator stalk, assuming you have the stalk with the pushy in end for use with the OBC.
