r1 wiring hazards up for SVA done but only works when ignition is on
zxrlocost - 10/5/06 at 09:56 AM

hi as above hazards work perfect

but for the SVA arent they supposed to work with out the key in the ignition like my park lights do

if so when I feed a 12v+ to the indicator loom it makes the hazards work perfect BUTit also make the igntion come on and everything so you can start the car without the key

anyone got any suggestions??

Hi there

Here is the quick fix...........

Use the 12v feed as you have done from the battery (with suitable in line fuse) and disconnect the original feed from the ignition part of the loom.

This should mean that the hazards, and indicators will work with the keys out, but that is all.

Hope this works, but I've not had a chance to look at the wirng diagram.

Cheers

Sorry just as I hit the post I though I should ask you, when you put the extra pwer feed in, did the indicators still flash, if so this should hopefully work, but not gauranteed, good luck

hi Ian the 12v is coming from the permanent igntion live

but its not as if IM joining the other igntioin wire to it?ie the thick brown which is only live when turned on!

so take 12v from battery and connect it where ??

Hi there

If you can get me a wiring diagram, I should be able to sort it out for you.

Are you using the R1 switches and flasher relay or a Sierra one?

Sounds to me like you aren't navigating power through the switch correctly. Have a look at our diagram on the website in 'help'
