OBC wiring question!

Post Mon Sep 25, 2006 2:47 pm

Hi all,

Brought an OBC kit off someone at Santa Pod and have begun fitting it today!

Am on the final connections inside the glove box and have a couple of questions:

After making all connections as stated in the guide on the ZONE, I am left with the following:

- 2 x Red and White Wires, one bare and one with a connector. I've heard these go together and connect into the control box. But where in the control box do they go? Is this right or not?

- 1 x Green connector, I've heard I don't need this unless I'm using the coding option?

- 1 x Brown and yellow wire, which is bare. I believe this has come loose from the other green connector that attaches the temp/horn loom to the main OBC loom. Am I right?

- 1 x black connector near grommet through bulkhead with 2 wires (green/brown and red/white) No idea what these are for!

Any experts on OBC retrofitting out there to help me? It would be much appreciated!

Cheers

Martin

I mean the control box behind the glove box with all the connections! I have fitted the OBC control module (or brain as I know it) above the ECU as stated in the Zone guide!

Cheers anyway Daz!

the red and white ones i think sould be connected togetther and plug into the se plug attatched to the car( big white plug behind glovebox) it should only go into one hole so you cant go wrong.

dont know about a black one....dont remember that on mine.

think the green one is for the obc horn wich you wont need....the other brown an yellow loose one is also for the horn i think
