Help for the mechanical/technically challenged

Pete, what worries me, is will you have enough competence to get to the next part after sorting out your question. These modern vehicles with all their electronics are most particular about voltages and currents.

What method are you going to use to terminate the wires?

What brand of kit is this? Can you scan a low res picture of the diagram and stick it on a website somewhere?

Do you need a power wire?? is that the question???

Pete.
The simplest way for you to get the conection you nead is to look at the fuse box, you will find a group of fuses that supply items that come on with the ignition. If you unscrew the fuse assembly and look behind it for a vacant brass tag on one of ignition related fuses then put a crimp conector on your wire and just push it on the brass tag. Be carfull not to run the wire over any sharp metal edges that could rub a hole in the insulation and cause a short cct.
If there is no vacant brass tag you can cut a little bit off the insulation of you chosen wire and then solder you new wire on. Be sure to connect to the side of the fuse that goes to the wiper or other cct. the side of the fuse that is connected to the ignition switch has a brass strap across the group of fuses, you want the other side.
Good luck, Eric.

Remember no such thing as a Dumb question....

The dumb ones are ones that dont ask questions and then bleep something up, and complain about that $5000 computer in their car!

Hi Pete.
I too am concerned over this question and I am very glad that you were clever enough to ask before hacking wires.

When you are told to connect to the ignition power lead, what they didn't say was make sure that you do not tap into any essential components needed for your vehicle.

By essential components I include the wipers, flashers, brake lights etc., these are all necessary to safe and legal vehicle usage.

While it may be suggested you use the wiper circuit I disagree, do not use this wire because if you do something wrong you have negated a essential component.

I do not know how your vehicle is wired but the safest one to tap into in most cases I find is the Cig lighter. It carries a reasonable heavy fuse and no essential components are connected to it.

If the component you intend to use uses a lower amperage fuse than fitted to the cig lighter then it is merely a matter of fitting an in-line fuse to the required size.

I full well agree that you should be familiar with all the workings of your vehicle including the electrics, but if this simple procedure causes you concern then I would rather that you either saw an Auto sparky or get a friend who is more conversant with vehicle electrics and get him to help, explain and talk you through a connection.

Regards

Your welcome Pete. The last thing you want is a wiper failure in the middle of a rain storm in the middle of the night in the middle of now where.

Was that over the top as a example? LOL
