Coastcard Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 I am now on the fiddly bits with the conversion. Have searched tech archive but no specific guidance on how and where to splice the RR autobox loom into. At one end: Gearbox plug and Brown/Red wire (with female spade) to go to Starter. At other end: Black Green/ Brown stripe Black/ Orange stripe Green Yellow (goes nowhere after plug). Brown/Red (see Q3 below) 1) One set of wires presumably match up to the 2 reverse light wires that I have. 2) The other pair will need to provide the inhibit function. How and where is the best place to splice these in? 3) On my Defender loom, I already have a Brown wire that connects to the starter (spade connection), can I discard the rangie one or does this form part of the inhibit function. Help appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark90 Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 When doing my auto box conversion I had 4 wires coming out of the plug that goes into the gearbox. Black Black/Orange Green Green/Brown One pair is for the reverse light switch and one pair are for the park inhibit switch. I can't remember which way round, but 2mins with a multimeter will be able to tell you which. I used the reverse light switch wires to switch a relay to switch on the reverse light as I wasn't sure they where up to carrying the full current. Just supply one end with +12V and connect the other to switch the relay. The park inhibit switch was connected in series between the ignition switch and the starter relay. Along with an over-ride switch in parallel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
