Spooner Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Can someone tell me the colour(s) wire I need to tap into to install a switch so that when the ignition ket is turned on my 110 the starter just turns but it never fires up? I did this on my 90 but can't remember what I tapped into. Appreciate it could be a sensitive question so please PM if you want to. Thanks Gavin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandyManLuke Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 you want the wire that runs to the stop solenoid, it's the thin white wire that dissapears off through the bulkhead. trace it back from the solenoid to be sure you've got the right one.

Thanks for the reply. I've traced the wire from the stop solenoid (a black one in my case) but it goes into a load of bundled/hidden wires and then off to the bulkhead. I had the instrument panel off and looked on the back of the ignition switch and I have the following wires Thick brown Thick White small red/white small orange/white Should point out my 110 has the factory immobiliser thing around the barrel....

HoSS Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 You cant do it, unless you have a very hefty relay. I dont know the exact max current but it must be over 50A It would be in the White line. Brown is a permanent (unfused) live White is the switched (Unfused) live red/white is the starter relay feed white/orange is the accesory feed surely better to interupt the starte or fuel pump, no?

I really don't mind what I do as long as I can stop either of the with the use of a hidden rocker switch. From memory when I did my 200tdi, I tapped into the white/blue on the back of the ignition switch but the 300tdi is different. Has anyone done or can they supply some instructions. I don't want to fit a FIA battery isolator as what with the alarm, will get complicated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandyManLuke Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 The wire going to the stop solenoid is the one you want. If you can't trace it back, you'll need to work in the engine compartment. Should be possible to trace it though, with the dash out you can see the cables coming through the bulkhead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
