Hi Everyone

I found a very useful guide on how to wire a car. You may already have it, but just encase you don't......

Just a point on something I've discovered. I don't know what most people are doing, but I wired my hazard flasher circuit on a separate fuse, with 2 separate flasher relays (one for the LED tail lights, and the other for the regular bulbs in parallel) to the indicator circuits. The hazard is on permanent live, (as the NZ guy suggests), but the indicators are on the switched circuit, and obviously through the stalk (key on - or "fuel pump/ignition" dash switch for me).

I wanted to clarify that because it was confusing for me prior to just fiddling around, drawing a lot, and testing.

Great find... will prove to be very useful (at least that's the hope)

Lots of writing, but still a good find - in my bookmarks (together with the other 72 car-related ones!)

Well done, Colin.
