Les Brock Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Ok help required, Anyone know what the core colours relate to ? Ground will be one I would have thought Reverse closed circuit contact ? Inhibiter open circuit contact ? common ? Now another ? Do I wire it up as normal, or can I wire it so I can start it in gear as in failed hill start, as I dont want to be faffing trying to select "N or Park" before it will turnover, then I would need a MOT switch to make it work as it should I presume ? 200Tdi Taxi Lump Wiring diagram would be good if you have time Ta !

tacr2man Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 park and neutral are on same circuit , rev is an earthing circuit. How would you get a failed hill start on an auto ? very dangerous to override inhib circuit , i know someone who had both legs broken by an auto starting in drive .

Les Brock Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 Ok perhaps I got it bum around face What I was trying (and failed) to say was like a momentry switch, which I could press to allow it to start in gear, with the key as well of course in a competion senario, not on the road and not to bypass in completly but should the need arrise, knackered inhib switch for example Now I used the hill start senario as I have never driven a auto off road, so I thought it was still possible in a 200Tdi to stall it......hands up my mistake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacr2man Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 in view of what you are wanting to achieve , then ign switched supply to guarded momentary switch from there to starter relay white with red tracer should enable . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davedef90 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Don't need the inhib switch for the MOT. And it's not really a H&S thing is it really when you look at it. It can be a good thing on a normal car but if you are going to compete with it then that's a different matter. My 90 has just sailed through the MOT without it fitted. Why does everyone blame the H&S people for things when it's not them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Not 'blaming' the H&S people for anything, mentioning that it is actually a good idea, and I can't understand why it should cause a problem on a competition truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacr2man Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 if its not for the health and safety of people what is reason for fitting it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moore101 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 A trick with triallers is to put 2 push to make momentary switches on the steering wheel to start the vehicle in the event of a stalled engine. This is relatively safe, especially if it had a seperate switch to send power to them, as you have to deliberately press both wanting to start it.

discomikey Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 why dont you get rid of it, but put a relay onto the brake light switch to the starter solenoid exciter, which means that it can only be started with the foot brake on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Range Rover Blues Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 It's not just to stop you runing over someone, it's also to stop the drag of the slush box slowing down the starter motor, being in drive could burn the thing out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
